Spectral-Based Ink Selection for Multiple-Ink Printing I. Colorant Estimation of Original Objects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Research has been initiated to determine a set of six basis colorants which are the best representation of artwork such as paintings. That is, their spectral information can be accurately reconstructed by linear combinations of the six estimated colorants. Since each painting is possibly created by different colorants, the six estimated colorants are image dependent. The clue leading to the six estimated colorants is the six eigenvectors determined from the corresponding spectral measurements. The relationship between the six eigenvectors and estimated colorants is merely the linear transformation (or geometrical rotation). Based on this faith, a constrained-rotation engine using MATLAB was devised to perform the transformation from the eigenvectors to a set of all-positive vectors as the estimated colorants. Once a set of reasonable colorants is uncovered, this set of colorants can be used to synthesize the original artwork with the least metameric effect between the reproductions and originals.

Spectral prediction and dot surface estimation models for halftone prints
We propose a new spectral prediction model as well as new approaches for modeling ink spreading which occurs when printing ink layer superpositions. The spectral prediction model enhances the classical ClapperYule model by taking into account the fact that proportionally more incident light through a given colorant surface is reflected back onto the same colorant surface than onto other coloran...
متن کاملSpectral prediction model for variable dot-size printers
By printing a variable number of droplets onto the same pixel location, ink jet printers produce pixels at variable dot-sizes yielding several darkness levels. Varying the number of printed droplets affects the ink volume deposited onto the substrate. In the present contribution, we explore the possibility of producing accurate spectral reflectance predictions at all pixel dot-sizes. For this p...

The proposed new spectral reflection model enhances the classical Clapper-Yule model by taking into account the fact that proportionally more incident light through a given colorant surface is reflected back onto the same colorant surface than onto other colorant surfaces. It comprises a weighted mean between a component specifying the part of the incident light that exits through the same colo...
متن کاملSpectral Based Ink Selection for Multiple-Ink Printing II. Optimal Ink Selection
An algorithm is described to select a set of six inks from a given ink database for a spectral-based six-color printing system which minimizes metamerism. Since there are C(n, 6) ink combinations for an ink database containing n inks, the number of ink combinations is a geometric figure when n is large. There are obviously impossible ink combinations which can be removed analytically. Vector co...

The current commercial application of ink-jet reactive inks to cotton fabrics has been through pre-treating with pad liquor prior to printing. In This study made an effort to provide a single phase ink-jet printing process for printing cotton fabric using the novel cationic reactive dye in ink’s formulation. Cotton fabric was printed upon with the novel cationic reactive dye and commercial anio...
