A system and method are provided for correcting printed color and tone of a library of similar digital images. A single image is selected from a library of similar images, and manipulated with a set of unique transformations. Each of the manipulated images is processed for printing. Printer settings for actual job data are identified, and multiple reproductions of the selected image are printed at the identified printer settings for the job. Optimum transformations are determined by visual inspection of a full array of images, each of the full array of images having been manipulated by a different transformation prior to printing.
