Samples are printed on print media with at least first and second marking
engines. A first lightness value of a solid area of a first sample
printed with the first marking engine and a second lightness value of a
solid area of a second sample printed with the second marking engine are
determined. The first and second solid area lightness values are compared
to one another. Based on the comparison, a lighter marking engine and a
darker marking engine are identified. Tone reproduction curve of the
lighter marking engine is adjusted to substantially match tone
reproduction curve of the darker marking engine.
