Neugebauer and Demichel: Dependence and independence in n-screen superpositions for colour printing
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Neugebauer equations and the Demichel equations on which they are based are one of the basic tools for modeling colour printing systems that use the halftoning technique. However, these equations implicitly assume that the colour ink distributions in the screen superposition are statistically independent. We show that this condition is not satisfied in the conventional screen superposition used for colour printing, and we discuss the consequences of this fact. Furthermore, we give a precise criterion that determines, for any number of superposed regular screens, in which cases the Demichel (and hence the Neugebauer) equations are satisfied, and in which cases they fail: The Demichel equations fail in all cases where the screen superposition is singular, and they are satisfied in all nonsingular screen superpositions. We illustrate our results with several examples of both cases. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Col Res Appl, 25, 267–277, 2000

Sparse Cellular Neugebauer Model for N-ink Printers
The number of colorants used in printers is growing to improve quality of the prints in terms of gamut size, grain and metamerism. In this paper we demonstrate a modification to the existing models (Cellular Neugebauer Model, with Yule Nielson Correction) to simulate spectral reflectance of an N-ink printer. This is achieved by imposing a constraint for the media ink limit, the modified model i...
متن کاملImage Segmentation for the Application of the Neugebauer Colour Prediction Model on Inkjet Printed Ceramic Tiles
Colour prediction models (CPM) can be used to analyze the printing quality of halftone-based color printing systems. In this paper, we consider the Neugebauer CPM which requires as input the fraction of occupation of each primary. To obtain these numbers, we apply several image segmentation algorithms, with and without contextual information. These segmentation algorithms are evaluated with res...
متن کاملThe Effect of Reactive Dye Structure on the Ink-Jet Printing of Cotton
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the structure of reactive dye on cotton ink-jet printing. Cotton fabric was printed upon with three commercial cellulosic reactive dyes which are based on the similar chromophore and possess different numbers of reactive and anionic groups. Colour yield and absorbed dye fixation of the printed cotton were evaluated at various pHs. The i...

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...
متن کاملSpectral analysis and minimization of moire patterns in color separation
Undesired moiré patterns may appear in colour printing for various reasons. One of the most important reasons is interference between the superposed halftone screens of the different primary colours, due to an improper alignment of their frequencies or orientations. In this article we explain the superposition moiré phenomenon using a spectral model which is based on Fourier analysis. After exa...
