Analysis of misregistration-induced color shifts in the superposition of periodic screens

چکیده
We present an analysis and model for evaluation of color shifts in halftone printing caused by inter-separation misregistration for periodic clustered dot halftones. Using a lattice framework, we present intuitive analysis that demonstrates conditions under which the average color is asymptotically invariant under inter-separation misregistration. Combining the framework with an analytic representation for the halftone dots, we develop a hybrid analytical-numerical model for quantitatively estimating color shifts as a function of inter-separation misregistration. The model is compared against experimental data for a xerographic printer.

Quantitative evaluation of misregistration-induced color shifts in color halftones
Color-to-color misregistration refers to misregistration between color separations in a printed or display image. Such misregistration in printed halftoned images can result in several image defects, a primary one being shifts in average color. The present paper examines the variation in average color for two-color halftoned images as a function of color-to-color misregistration distance. Dot-o...
متن کاملMisregistration sensitivity in clustered-dot color halftones
bstract. Halftoned separations of individual colorants, typically yan, magenta, yellow, and black, are overlaid on a print substrate n typical color printing systems. Displacements between these eparations, commonly referred to as “interseparation misregistraion”, can cause objectionable color shifts in the prints. We study this isregistration-induced color shift for periodic clustered-dot half...
متن کاملAnalysis of the microstructures ("rosettes") in the superposition of periodic layers
Superpositions of periodic dot screens are largely used in electronic imaging in the field of color printing. In such superpositions the interaction between the superposed layers may cause new structures to appear which did not exist in any of the original layers: macrostructures (also known as moiré patterns) and microstructures (also known as rosettes). While macrostructures are not always ge...
متن کاملAn Ink Spreading Model for Dot-On-Dot Spectral Prediction
Due to increasing printing accuracies and the possibility of printing several droplets at the same pixel location, there is a renewed interest in dot-on-dot printing models. In the present contribution, we improve a dot-on-dot spectral prediction model relying on the Yule-Nielsen modified Spectral Neugebauer model by taking into account ink spreading in all ink superposition conditions. Since i...
متن کاملDot trajectories in the superposition of random screens: analysis and synthesis.
Moiré effects that occur in the superposition of aperiodic layers such as correlated random dot screens are known as Glass patterns. One of the most interesting properties of such moiré effects, which clearly distinguish them from their periodic counterparts, is undoubtedly the appearence in the superposition of intriguing microstructure dot alignments, also known as dot trajectories. These dot...
