Colorimetric modeling of binary color printers

Colorimetric device models play an important role in achieving consistent and accurate color reproduction among digital output devices. Models based on the Neugebauer (1937) mixing equations are examined for halftone color printers. Spectral information, and the Yule-Neilsen (1951) correction for light scattering, are incorporated into the models. A cellular approach is examined as a tradeoff between model accuracy and complexity. Two halftone screen orientations are discussed: the rotated or random dot; and the dot-on-dot configuration. Results show that the models can predict the printer response with acceptable accuracy
