The last two decades have seen considerable development in digital printing technology and applications, spanning the range from home and office equipment to digital photography, technical applications, professional graphic arts, and industrial print production. As digital marking engines have become more capable in terms of basic print quality, substrate compatibility, and speed (among other attributes), there has been an increasing need for the application of color science and technology to solve issues regarding substrates and colorants selection and configuration, device calibration and characterization, and the deployment of digital printing systems in increasingly open and standardized workflows. We review the progress made to date, highlight some of the remaining challenges, and sketch some possible future scenarios.
