Abstract

In a method of and a system for predicting print colors, a profile generator corrects the standard spectral reflectances of a color chart printed under standard density conditions and the differences between the spectral reflectances of color charts for the respective colors in which the density of one of the colors C, M, Y, K is changed to a changed density setting value and the densities of the other colors are fixed to standard density setting values, using density differences with the standard density setting values which are calculated by a monochromatic solid density calculator. The profile generator then generates a print predicting profile for desired target densities based on the corrected corrective standard spectral reflectances and the spectral reflectance differences, and highly accurately predicts the colors of a print using the print predicting profile when the densities of desired ones of the colors are changed.
