Abstract

The objective of this work was to quantify the influence of (i) ink-jet printer calibration and (ii) ink-jet printer profile creation, on the quality of color reproduction, in the context of fine art printing. The first step involved a fine setting of the output device, in order to stabilize the results. The second step is a complete characterization of the printers, with color profile determinations. During the profile creation, different input parameters were adjusted: total ink coverage, black ink limit coverage, black-printer strategy. The performance of the color profiles (output data) was analyzed by color differences (ΔE), the volume of color gamut, and spectral characteristics of the printed colors. Moreover, a visual appreciation of the printed samples was conducted.From these results, the profiles were edited and optimized in order to reduce the color differences.
