Abstract
A method of operating a printer includes identifying coordinates in a device independent color space for a spot color, identifying color components in a device dependent full color profile in a printer model for an association between the spot color in the device independent color space and a device dependent color space, and emitting a pattern of colorants with reference to the color components to reproduce the spot color in a printed image. The colorant pattern has a colorant density exceeding a predetermined colorant limit threshold associated with printed colors other than spot colors.
