Method of selecting ink jet inks in a color set
Abstract:
A method of selecting inks within an inkjet ink set for color printing comprises: a) providing at least two color inks, each ink comprising a carrier and a pigment; b) printing the above inks onto a receiver using test images consisting of single color patches of a Dmax density (100% dot coverage); c) measuring the gloss level of each patch at a predefined specular angle; d) calculating the Relative Gloss Variability (RGV) values of the ink set based on the definition in Equation A; and e) selecting inks for the color set such that the Relative Gloss Variability (RGV) among inks is less than 10% when 60null is used as the specular angle: 1 RGV null ( % ) = null I = 1 N null | ( Gloss null ( Imaged null null null Area ) I - AG ) | AG / N Equation null null null ( A ) Where 2 AG = null I = 1 N null Gloss null ( Imaged null null null Area ) I N I is a variable which identifies a certain color patch used in the evaluation, N is the total number of color patches used in the evaluation
