The Influence of Paper Brightness on Color Reproduction of Printed Matter

Abstract:

Paper, as an important substrate of printed matter, the performance will impact on the color reproduction. Brightness, as a key index of paper performance, affects the apparent color of paper directly. It was investigated that the printed samples with different brightness have been evaluated the influence of paper brightness on color reproduction by the methods of subjective and objective color difference evaluation. Three kinds of paper with different brightness have been selected as substrate of printed samples. The standard test color blocks have been printed to do corresponding objective color difference evaluation to different paper by CIEDE2000 color-difference formulae methods. Meanwhile, the standard test images with difference contents have been printed on three kinds of paper, which was subjected to subjective color difference evaluation for visual evaluation of standard test images in standard observe conditions. The results of subjective and objective color difference evaluation have been combined to analyze the effect of paper brightness to color reproduction, and different visual influence to images of difference content, and could provide certain reference for selecting the brightness performance of paper in color reproduction.
