Abstract
A system is disclosed. The system includes at least one physical memory device to store drop size logic and one or more processors coupled with the at least one physical memory device to execute the drop size logic to receive first ink usage drop fraction data for each of a plurality of color planes associated with a first halftone design, a first transfer function, and print job data, wherein ink usage drop fraction data represents the fraction of ink drops for each instructed drop size corresponding to each input digital count for a halftoning module, receive first ink drop size data for each of a plurality of color planes associated with the first halftone design and the first transfer function, receive second ink usage drop fraction data for each of the plurality of color planes associated with the first halftone design, a second transfer function and the print job data and generate second ink drop size data for each of the plurality of color planes based on the first ink usage drop fraction data, the first ink drop size data and the second ink usage drop fraction data.
