Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of printing color management, and particularly to a digital information control method and system for printing color management. Background Art
[0002] Color management refers to accurately controlling the colors produced by printing devices or display devices to ensure color consistency of images or documents. This technology involves aspects such as color space conversion and color correction to ensure accurate color output between devices.
[0003] With the development of technology, controlling the color information of images through digital signals is one of the research and development directions, which usually involves color calibration algorithms, data transmission and processing to ensure that color data remains consistent when transmitted between different devices.
[0004] After retrieval, Chinese Patent (Publication No.: CN114393922B) discloses a color management method for newspaper printing. This patent conducts test printing by making a test plate, determines the primary color reference density according to requirements, and selects the closest ISO standard curve as the reference to generate a plate-making compensation curve based on the average value of the sum of the tone value increments of the four primary colors under current conditions. Using the compensated and corrected printing plate, keep the reference density unchanged and print the test plate. Create a characteristic file for color separation according to the printed color chromaticity values obtained from the detected printed sheets and the tone reproduction characteristics of the selected ISO standard curve, and convert the picture from RGB to CMYK; make a characteristic file for soft proofing using color management software according to the chromaticity values obtained from detecting the IT8.7 / 3 test chart for simulating the printing effect during image retouching.
[0005] In the prior art, since the final presentation of printed products is affected by various production factors and the requirements for high-precision color reproduction and consistency are increasing, existing color management systems usually only collect color data at specific monitoring points and cannot comprehensively and accurately monitor the global color performance of printed products. Therefore, the present invention proposes a digital information control method and system for printing color management. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a digital information control method and system for printing color management to solve the problems mentioned in the above background art.
[0007] The present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A digital information control system for printing color management includes a color monitoring module, a light simulation module, and a production control module;
[0008] The production control module is used to monitor the production data during printing, including a paper control unit, an ink control unit, an environment control unit, and a processing unit;
[0009] The paper control unit is used to record the paper information used in the current printing, including the ink absorbency, light reflectivity, and material of the paper;
[0010] The ink control unit is used to record the ink information used in the current printing, including the type, concentration, and corresponding drying speed of the ink;
[0011] The environment control unit is used to record the printing speed, printing humidity, and printing temperature of the printing press. Among them, the change in the printing speed will affect the drying speed and color superposition of the ink;
[0012] Both the printing humidity and printing temperature will affect the drying speed and color performance of the ink;
[0013] The processing unit integrates the paper information, ink information, printing speed, printing humidity, and printing temperature to generate production data during the current printing;
[0014] The light simulation module is integrated with multiple light modules for simulating multiple light environments for the printed product;
[0015] The color monitoring module includes a position monitoring unit, a data acquisition unit, and a data analysis unit;
[0016] The position monitoring unit selects monitoring points for color monitoring of the printed product and monitors the color performance of each monitoring point under the corresponding light environment;
[0017] The data acquisition unit captures the color data of each monitoring point under each light environment;
[0018] The data analysis unit combines each color data with the production data at the same time and matches it with the associated model;
[0019] The production control module adjusts the controllable conditions during printing based on the matching results;
[0020] Among them, the controllable conditions are the operating parts that can actively control and affect the printing color during printing, including adjusting the concentration of the ink and the printing speed to maintain the management of the printing color.
[0021] A further technical improvement of the present invention lies in that the selection of the monitoring points includes the following steps:
[0022] S1. Image partitioning;
[0023] The printed product is partitioned by color, and the color information of each partition is represented by the RGB or CMYK color space;
[0024] S2. Color change weight assignment;
[0025] Calculate the color change amplitude of each partition by historical data or calculating the color gradient change of the image, and assign a preset weight to the corresponding partition based on the color change amplitude for the monitoring points to be preferentially selected;
[0026] The color change amplitude is obtained by the formula Obtained,
[0027] where C(x, y) is the color value of the image at the coordinate (x, y);
[0028] and are the color gradients of the image in the x and y directions respectively;
[0029] The areas with higher ΔC values are preferentially selected as monitoring points;
[0030] S3. Partition weighting;
[0031] Based on the sensitivity of the human eye to different colors, each partition is weighted, and the weighting increases with the increase of visual sensitivity. More monitoring points should be allocated to the areas where the human eye is more sensitive;
[0032] S4. Monitoring point optimization;
[0033] Combine the weights of the color change amplitude and visual sensitivity to generate multiple possible monitoring points with high priorities. Subsequently, perform normalized priority processing on each possible monitoring point to obtain monitoring points evenly distributed on the printed product;
[0034] where the priority of the possible monitoring point is obtained by the formula P(x, y) = W s (x, y) × ΔC(x, y). Through the preset number N of monitoring points, preferentially select N groups of areas with higher P(x, y) values as possible monitoring points;
[0035] The normalized priority processing is performed by the formula to obtain the normalized priority p′(x, y), ensuring that the areas with the priority of p′(x, y) are monitoring points and the monitoring points are evenly distributed on the printed product.
[0036] A further technical improvement of the present invention lies in that the position monitoring unit adjusts the distribution of the monitoring points based on historical data, that is, based on the production data of the same printing paper and ink in the past, and through a random forest or neural network learning model, to dynamically adjust and focus on monitoring the areas with larger color change amplitudes, that is, areas prone to color deviation;
[0037] After selecting N groups of partitions as possible monitoring points, in the order of the priority P(x, y), after ranking N, select m groups of partitions as backup monitoring points;
[0038] When the position monitoring unit is dynamically adjusted, if the dynamic adjustment range covers the partitions within m groups, the priority of the corresponding partitions will be increased and monitored as monitoring points.
[0039] A further technical improvement of the present invention lies in that: the control system is based on the paper used for the printed product, and through the formula corrects the color change amplitude formula in S2;
[0040] ΔC(x,y) in the corrected formula is the color change amplitude under the influence of paper factors;
[0041] A p is the ink absorption of the paper, and its value range is [0,1]. The stronger the ink absorption, the more significant the color change;
[0042] R p is the light reflectivity of the paper, and its value range is [0,1]. The higher the reflectivity, the greater the color change visually;
[0043] k1 and k2 are constants used to adjust the influence of paper factors.
[0044] A further technical improvement of the present invention lies in that: the control system is based on the paper and ink type used for the printed product, and through the formula:
[0045] corrects the color change amplitude formula in S2;
[0046] where C i is the concentration of the ink, and its value range is [0,1]. The higher the concentration, the greater the color difference;
[0047] D i is the drying speed of the ink, and its value range is [0,1]. The slower the drying speed, the stronger the superposition effect, and the more obvious the difference in color performance;
[0048] k3 and k4 are constants used to adjust the influence of ink factors.
[0049] A further technical improvement of the present invention lies in that: the correlation model is a model of the performance of color data in various light environments under the same production data during past production, so as to match and predict the color surface during printing;
[0050] The process of the data analysis unit matching with the correlation model includes the following steps:
[0051] Z1. The data analysis unit inputs the production data related to color data and the light environment information into the correlation model;
[0052] Z2. The data analysis unit calculates the similarity between the current production data and the historical production data;
[0053] Z3. Calculate the color difference between the current light environment and the corresponding historical light environment;
[0054] Z4. According to the color difference and the production data matching result, the production control module adjusts the controllable conditions to ensure the color consistency during printing.
[0055] The present invention also discloses a digital information control method for printing color management, and the method includes the following steps:
[0056] Step 1: The color monitoring module selects multiple monitoring points on the printed product;
[0057] Step 2: The light simulation module simulates a variety of light environments. The color monitoring module monitors the color performance of each monitoring point under different light environments to obtain color data. At the same time, the production control module monitors the production data during printing;
[0058] Step 3: The color monitoring module combines the color data with the production data at the same time and matches it with the associated model;
[0059] Step 4: The production control module adjusts the controllable conditions during printing based on the matching result to maintain the management of the printing color.
[0060] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0061] By setting multiple monitoring points on the printed product and setting up different light environments, the present invention accurately monitors the color performance of the printed matter. Multiple monitoring points can cover different color areas on the printed matter to ensure accurate monitoring of key color areas, thereby improving color consistency and avoiding color deviation;
[0062] And by monitoring the color under multiple light environments, the printed matter can maintain color consistency under different lighting conditions, which helps to improve the visual effect of the printed matter in various usage environments;
[0063] At the same time, by collecting color data in real time and comparing it with the standard color, according to the real-time monitoring data under different light conditions, the system can quickly identify the color change trend and automatically adjust the controllable conditions to ensure stable color performance during the printing process. This reduces the need for manual intervention and improves production efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0108] where ΔE is the color difference value, C c is the color value in the current light environment, C hIs the color value under the historical light environment;
[0109] Z4. Match according to the color difference and production data. When matching, establish the relationship between production data and color change through a linear regression model, and through the formula:
[0110] Calculate the mean square error between the predicted color data and the actual color data;
[0111] Among them, MSE is the mean square error, C pred,i Is the predicted color value of the i-th monitoring point, C true,i Is the actual color value of the i-th monitoring point, and N is the number of monitoring points;
[0112] Finally, according to the matching result, the production control module adjusts the controllable conditions to ensure the color consistency during printing;
