Printed Quality and Color Management for Metal Sheet Printing

Abstract

The paper aims to analyst metal sheet printed quality based on ISO12647-2 and color gamut mapping of metal sheet digital proof. ECI2002CMYK test chart was printed on white color coating-metal sheet in 3-density levels with -.1 density differences and the printed quality then was analyzed in various factors. A density level that achieved ISO12647-2 standard quality was selected as the base line for ICC profile for color gamut mapping. Based on this color gamut mapping, the metal sheet digital proof was produced by ink-jet printer through Color Management program. The result showed that metal sheet digital proof appropriate for metal sheet printing simulation.
