1. A method of gray component replacement usable to obtain an expanded color gamut for a color reproduction device, comprising: transforming colorant values in a color reproduction device colorant space to color values in a color independent color space; scaling the values in the color independent color space to fill the maximum gamut obtainable with the colorant values in the device colorant space; and determining the colorant space values which correspond to the scaled values in the color independent space, wherein the colorant space values which correspond to the scaled values in the color independent space are usable to control a printing device to produce an image.
