Abstract

Reducing metamerism is one of the main goals of spectral printing. There are three fundamental questions to answer in spectral reproduction:1. What is the optimal number of primaries?2. Which types of primaries to use?3. How to find the ink combination that replicates a given spectral reflectance as closely as possible for a given set of primaries?This paper focuses on the first question. We evaluate the extent to which metamerism is reduced as more and more inks are used. The study considers both a realistic printer and a realistic additive displaysr with both idealized and actual ink reflectances.
