Abstract

This article describes research on the color rendering of inkjet prints on office papers of different classes. Modern models of inkjet printers from the world’s leading manufacturers Epson L805 and Canon PIXMA G2411 were selected for research. In the process of work, the method of optical scanning of the studied objects using an affordable flatbed office scanner was used. The resulting prints were then scanned, after which each image was processed in two programs: the IMGonline photo editor (a service for simple and high-quality processing of images, images and photographs online) and FastStone Image Viewer (a program for viewing images in Microsoft Windows). The number of unique colors was calculated for each image. This made it possible to quickly determine the average values of the parameters of the coloristic properties of these objects, and the characteristics of their heterogeneity. This paper describes the advantages of the computer method of scanning a printed image on office paper of different classes and its processing by available programs. Such a method is promising for solving the problem of improving the quality of color prints of inkjet printing. Compared to other known printing control methods, the method used is the most informative and versatile.
