Abstract
Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to a method, system, and computer-readable medium for choosing ink colors for a screen printing process. An image to be reproduced with the screen printing process is obtained, and sample pixels within the image are selected. For each sample pixel, if the color of the sample pixel is not similar to an already chosen ink color, neighboring pixels around the sample pixel are identified. When the colors of the sample pixel and its neighboring pixels are similar, an ink color is chosen to be a representative color of the sample pixel and its neighboring pixels.
