Spectral Prediction of Juxtaposed Halftones Relying on the Two-by-two Dot Centering Model

Roger Hersch, Vahid Babaei

In a color reproduction workflow, spectral prediction models are useful for establishing the correspondence between colorant sur- face coverages and resulting printed halftone color. Spectral predic- tion models enable calculation of the color gamut and es ...

Analyzing halftone dot blurring by extended spectral prediction models

Roger Hersch, Mathieu Hébert

Spectral prediction models for halftone prints generally assume homogeneously thick and sharply edged ink dots, i.e., bilevel halftones. In real prints, the ink thickness often decreases at the boundaries of the ink dots, thereby forming continuous-level h ...
