Imaging devices capable of printing images upon paper and other media are becoming increasingly popular and used in many applications including color reproduction. For example, laser printers, ink jet printers, and digital printing presses are but a few examples of imaging devices in wide use today for black and white or color imaging.
Digital printing presses are relatively new compared with other printing technologies and may be used in place of other printing arrangements, such as analog printing presses. In one imaging example utilizing a press, a plurality of copies of the same image may be reproduced in relatively high volumes (e.g., printing business cards, catalogs, publications, etc.).
Some imaging devices are susceptible to shifting of colors over time due to process drift in an imaging device. Some shift may be attributed to dot gain or shifts in dot gain of an imaging device where dot gain is the relationship of a printed dot area divided by a digital dot area (corresponding to an area of a dot intended to be printed).
At least some embodiments of the disclosure describe methods and apparatus which provide improved image formation upon media.
