Abstract

How do paper properties impact color gamut in toner-based digital printing? Hear what a team at Ball State University learned in their study, using a Konica Minolta AccurioPress C2070 with an inline IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Optimizer. EFI Fiery™ Color Profiler Suite was used to create color profiles for eight paper substrates, five coated and three uncoated. The G7 method was used for calibration and 1,617 patches (CGATS IT8.7/4) were printed and measured inline. Profiles of these substrates were then evaluated and compared in CHROMiX ColorThink™ Pro to find out how paper properties such as surface smoothness, porosity, formation, brightness, etc. affected color gamut.
