Algorithm of Double-Chroma Ink Mapping for Multi-Color Printer

Abstract:

Aiming at three color pairs of Lk &K, Lc & C, Lm &M, which are commonly used on multi-color inkjet printers. Based on colorimetric matching, polynomial fitting was used to establish a mapping relationship between each pairs of double chroma ink ,and fitting accuracy was contrasted between different fitting times. Experimental results show that the quartic polynomial can achieve better accuracy than the conic fitting. The study is great significance for printer’s color separation which has the two levels of color channel.
