Abstract
A color image forming method and an apparatus to be used for executing the method are provided which are capable of effecting more faithful color reproduction with respect to a target color, and also, a color correction factor determining method to be used in the above method and apparatus. The color image forming apparatus to which the color image forming method is applied is arranged to subject three primary color luminance signals (R, G, B) to linear matrix calculation by a luminance matrix device for conversion into second luminance signals (R', G', B') to correct deviation of wavelength of the spectral absorbing characteristic of the ink, and to subject each color of the second luminance signals (R', G', B') to complementary color conversion into three primary color density signals (D.sub.R, D.sub.G, D.sub.B) by a complementary color converting device, and further, to subject the three primary color density signals (D.sub.R, D.sub.G, D.sub.B) to color correcting calculation by a color correcting device for conversion into ink density signals (C, M, Y), so as to correct color turbidity due to the unnecessary component of the ink. Additionally, the correction factor determining …
