Reproduction Quality of Inkjet Printers with Extended Cyan and Magenta Inks

During the past years, the use of colour printers as proofing systems has increased since printers with CMYK-ribbons and large formats have been introduced. Improved calibration and the decreasing costs of proofing systems have alllowed digital proofs to become part of the mainstream proofing market. The production workflow and organisation have to be changed with the implementation of a colour management system. Parameters that influence on the efficiency of digital workflow are the subject of many investigations, with the goal to improve the quality of image reproduction. The aim of this article is to show the influence of various papers in inkjet printers reproduction on achieved gamuts.
