The Effect of Various Papers on the Prediction Accuracy of a Cube Nearest Neighbor Color Prediction Model in LUT Profiles Utilized in an Inkjet Printer

The use of different papers in inkjet printers is a normal practice. However, due to the variety of the texture and gloss of such papers as well as the extent to which various papers enable the penetration of the ink into these papers would result in various results in the printed colors. In other words, such various in the papers affect the prediction accuracy of any model used for making the profiles in the color management process.In present article the effect of four paper types on the final printed papers as predicted by a cube nearest neighbor, prediction model in LUT profiles in an inkjet printer was investigated. The deciding parameters were repeatability and color gamut volume. The results show that this prediction model gave the best printed colors on the utilized matte paper.
