Abstract
A method for color correction of an image having an insignia portion in a multi-module printer (). A first color profile is calibrated for a four-color image. A second color profile is calibrated for a four-color image with a transparent toner layer on top of the insignia portion of the four-color image. The image data is then buffered in a color input band buffer () and processed through the first () and second () color profiles in a color management module. The processed image data is stored in an output band buffer () corresponding to the image data processed through each color profile. Clear toner input band data stored in a clear toner input band buffer () is compared with the processed image data in each output band buffer () to select an output signal () on a per pixel basis to send to the multi-module printer ().
