We present a method to characterize the ink jet printing by means of spectral reflectance measurements and simulations, which includes optical properties of primary inks, the ink volume, scheme of color-mixing for generating secondary colors. The simulations are based on Kubelka-Munk theory whose availability to ink-jet printing is discussed.
