Review and analysis of spectral characterization models and halftoning for multi-channel printing

摘要

In this paper, a comprehensive review and analysis of the spectral printer models will be conducted as well as an analysis of how different halftoning algorithms influence the performance of the models. These algorithms are usually developed independently from colour management and its performance is measured in image quality attributes. We will evaluate how two types of halftoning (AM and FM) influence parameters of the spectral printer models for multichannel printing. Here we target the dot gain modelling, ink spreading and ink limitation evaluation. Therefore, the first objective is to identify spectral printer models and to discuss its performance and shortcomings. The second objective is to determine whether different halftoning influence model and its parameters and to what extent.
