Abstract
Embodiments herein provide for color conversion in production printing systems. The color conversion system includes a processor operable to receive a print job and convert the print job into a full sheetside bitmap comprised of an array of color pixels. The full sheetside bitmap is destined for color conversion via an ink limitation algorithm. The color conversion system also includes an image identification module operable to identify a portion of the print job for a level of color accuracy and to designate that portion of the print job for color conversion via a color accuracy algorithm. The processor is operable to convert a color value of the identified portion of the print job using the color accuracy algorithm. The processor also converts color values of the remainder of the print job using the ink limitation algorithm.
