Abstract

A method for performing color-to-color correction for printing multiple copies of a print job having one or more documents is disclosed. A first copy of the print job is printed using a plurality of color planes. A first plurality of color registration errors produced during the printing of the first copy of the print job is determined. For each document in the print job, one or more processors are used to determine a global color plane correction value for each color plane error based on the first plurality of color registration errors. The global color plane correction values are adjusted locally based on the first plurality of local color plane correction values. A second copy of the print job is printed using the locally adjusted global color plane correction values for each document in the print job.
