By separating the optical dot gain from the physical dot gain, it is possible to study different
behaviors of color inks on different papers. In this study we are investigating the dependency …

The tone value increase in halftone printing commonly referred to as dot gain actually
encompasses two fundamentally different phenomena. Physical dot gain refers to the fact …

A method for determining the dot gain, both physical and optical, based on the colourimetric
properties of the halftone dots is presented. To estimate the physical dot gain the method …

The printed dots appear bigger than the dots in the original digital bitmap. This is partly
because of the spreading and penetrating of the ink on and in the paper, called physical dot …

Recently there has been interest in the scattering of light within paper and the effect this
scattering has on the tone characteristics of a printed halftone image. 1–6 A halftone image …

Besides the physical dot gain that results from a real physical extension of an ink dot, there
exists dot gain of optical origin, 1, 4 ie, optical dot gain or the Yule–Nielsen effect. Optical dot …

Characterization of total dot gain gives a good insight to the study of paper and print. In this
article, we propose three approaches based on the Murray–Davies model to obtain total dot …

An ink jet printing system consists of three fundamental parts: inks, printing engine, and
substrates. Inks are materials creating color by selectively absorbing and scattering the …

The objective of this research is to investigate the mechanisms that cause dot gain on inkjet
papers. In addition, this research examines whether there is an explicit relationship between …

Optical dot gain refers to the fact that a printed dot appears bigger than it geometrically is. It
is because light that enters the substrate under the dot can exit from the substrate between …
