Color Calibration Techniques for Print Quality Measurements

摘要

Accurate color calibration is crucial for obtaining consistent and meaningful print quality measurements. In this paper, we will investigate the effect of color calibration errors to print quality measurements, such as mottle, banding, micro-uniformity etc. Our objective is to identify the source of errors that affects the precision in measuring these quality metrics the most and propose color calibration procedures that will reduce these particular types of errors accordingly. By doing so, we provide calibration procedures that focus more on improving the measurement accuracy and consistency of these print quality metrics rather than strictly on the precision of color calibrations that is often quantified by the ΔE in CIE LAB.
