Color reproduction: a solved problem ?
Nice color images are available everywhere, printable by anybody …
Is there foom for further research ?
Let us examine cases of color reproduction beyond classical cmyk

Halftoning: - colorants are placed side by side- paper black between colorant dots
=> Halftone emission spectra F() are sums of colorant emission spectra Fi() weighted by their effective surface coverages ui.

To enlarge the gamut, how shall classical c,m,y,k inks and daylight fluo mf , yf inks be combined ?

E. Classical inks on metal
26
Large difference between specular and non-specularobservation:- Specular observation: high lightness, high chroma- Non specular observation: dark, low chroma
How do you compute the amount of each of the classical inks to create the target color halftonesobservable under specular reflection ?
Solution:
Establish a spectral prediction model for viewing colorsprinted on metal under specular reflection (25o:25o). Createthe full color reproduction workflow.

3. Spectral prediction models
Goals in respect to printing:
- Predict the reflectance (->color) of a halftone patch as a function of ink surface coverages
- Fit surface coverages of cyan, magenta, yellow and black to match a desired spectrum/color ( characterization tables)
- Fit surface coverages of custom inks in order to match a desired color with a given optimization objective (maximize gamut, minimize metamerism, minimize usage of inks, minimize dot contrast..)
- Keep printer parameters constant (dot gain, ink thickness, ..)

6. ConclusionsWe extended classical CMYK prints :- silver inks- invisible fluorescent inks- daylight fluorescent inks- specular reflecting substrates (prints on metal)These prints still require a color reproduction workflow with- a spectral prediction model- gamut mapping- halftoning
Future: 2.5D printing enable- creating relief structures- composition with diffuse and transparent substrates- optical effects with micro-lenses
Challenge: color halftoning in 3D 56
