      <abstract><![CDATA[As gray color data is very important for printing quality, a method based on polynomial modeling is proposed to calculate the gray color data of different lightness. Firstly, the IT8.7/3 color target which defines input cyan-magenta-yellow-black (CMYK) signals is printed, and the corresponding CIELAB (Commission Internationale de l#39;Eclairage L*, a* and b*) values are obtained by a spectrophotometer with color sensors. Secondly, the polynomial regression method is used to determine the relationship between these two color spaces, in which the given CIELAB colorrsquo;s CMY value is calculated. At last, as the obtained cyan-magenta-yellow (CMY) gray color may contain Chroma information due to the computational error, a new color target is developed to find the real gray colors based on the relationship above, and the final relationship between CIE-L* and CMY are obtained. In the experiment, the average color error is 2.65Delta;E, which is below the printing error threshold, hence the proposed algorithm for calculating gray color data can be used in printing process.
