With the Kodak Ink Optimizing Service, Kodak provides customers with an ICC DeviceLink profile that gets plugged into the Kodak Prinergy Workflow. Based on the ICC DeviceLink profile, separated image files go through a gray component removal (GCR) process that reduces ink usage by replacing CMY inks with less expensive black ink, while limiting the Total Area Coverage to a predefined level.
