3.1 Color Reproduction: Theory of Operation
Color Reproduction consists of transferring an original image that resides on a substrate
onto another substrate (paper or other media), as accurately as possible. With HP Color
Copier systems reproduction is done by digitizing the original image with a large
format scanner, applying color transformations and image enhancements, and finally
sending the data to a large format printer to generate the reproduction of the image.
There are five components involved in this process as depicted by the following picture:
1) The original image
2) The image digitizer (large format scanner)
3) The color transformation and image enhancement engine (Touch Screen)
4) The image producer (large format printer)
5) The reproduced or final image
