Research on the Influence of Optical Properties of Paper on the Ink-Jet Printing Color

Abstract

There are many factors that affect the printing color. This paper researches how the whiteness and glossiness of paper produce an effect on the printing color. Six kinds of ink-jet paper are studied and the whiteness and glossiness are measured. A tested image is printed on the six kinds of paper with the same amount ink in turns. The solid density, color gamut, the color difference (CIE 1976) that the tested image to the standard G7 are measured and analyzed. According to the software IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0, the whiteness and glossiness of paper are positive to the solid density and color gamut, and negative to the CIE 1976 color differences to the G7. The formulas describing the effect of paper whiteness and gloss on the parameters are obtained.
