Conclusion

Future Plans

• Make the process automated. Automating the printing process entails creating and sending the postscript file directly from the web user-interface. This automation involves invoking the Resize command and passing the CMYK values to the print command. Automation could not take place because of security issues. Future advances in web interfacing would more than likely allow processes to run on the server side without threat of server abuse by unfriendly clients.Further Automation for the entire photo album would involve linking and executing all process from a series of web pages. Please check the following web-site to see the proposed user-interface mechanism: projform2.html.
• Improving printer Calibration. Time constraints disallowed the perfection of printer calibration as it relates to the halftoning scheme. Future advances would show improvements in printer output and might include these aspects:
• Using look-up tables to map from the XYZ values to the printer CMY values, and to map from the CMY values to new CMY values for a particular halftone scheme.
• Performing operations to utilize the black values in a CMYK space -- currently the K values is set to zero.
• Adding specifications for more printers, halftone schemes, and papers
