The scattering of light within paper and the ink penetration in the substrate are the key factors which affect the color reproduction. A reflectance model for color halftone prints is introduced in this paper which considers these factors. The model is obtained by the extended Murray-Davies model and iterative algorithm. The model described in this paper contains two parameters, n and v . The n factor equals to the sum of w and v . The w factor relates to the optical spread function of paper relative to the spatial frequency of the halftone dots. The v factor relates to the distribution of colorant within the dots. The value of n and v are obtained by simulation according to the experimental data. For offset lithographic halftone data at 150lpi, the value of n and v are 1.578 and 0.02, thermal wax transfer halftone ( n =2.292, v =0.0209) and stochastic halftone ( n =1.1853, v =-0.006).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
