Comparison of Chromatic Assimilation Effects Depending on Printing Substrate in the Munker-White Model

Abstract

Understanding the influence of paper surface structures on color perception is crucial for the printing industry. This research investigates the impact of horizontal and vertical parallel lines on chromatic assimilation using the Munker-White grid model. The study employs the perceived ΔE00 metric to quantify color differences and determine whether these textures affect perceived color accuracy and consistency differently. Results reveal variations in color perception due to surface textures. The biggest color difference (ΔE00) occurred at 60% RTV coverage for cyan, where the vertical structure showed a significantly lower value than the horizontal. For the yellow primary stimulus, the greatest difference was observed at 20% RTV coverage, with both structures showing high initial values that decrease with increased coverage. These findings provide valuable insights for improving color management practices and enhancing the quality and reliability of color reproduction on various substrates, contributing to advancements in printing technology and color science.
