Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of color ink-jet printing, in particular to a method and a device for adjusting gray balance and a computer readable storage medium.
Background
With the development of color jet printing technology, the role of color management in jet printing production is more and more important, and color is the core of jet printing quality control, and the key technology of color is how to correctly reproduce gray in an original. Therefore, the control of the gray balance has significance for faithfully reproducing the original and obtaining high-quality printed matters, and is an important link for realizing the datamation, normalization and standardization of printing production.
The Gray Balance (Gray Balance) means that three color plates of yellow (39Y), magenta (39M) and cyan (50C) present neutral Gray on a printed matter according to different dot area ratio. In the RGB color mode, R: g: b is 1: 1: 1, the red, green and blue values are equal, namely neutral gray. Theoretically, equal amounts of C, M, Y ink could be mixed to produce a neutral gray color. However, in reality, the color effect of the ink is limited by industrial production conditions, and C, M, Y has different color developing capabilities, wherein M has the strongest color developing capability and C has the weakest color developing capability, so that the equal amount of C, M, Y ink does not generate neutral gray color, but generates reddish gray color. To obtain a neutral gray color, the specific gravity of the C ink must be increased, which is the basic principle of print gray balance. It is the basis for any color separation method to realize correct color reproduction, and if the gray balance cannot be realized during color separation, the gray color in the original document is no longer gray after copying, and other colors inevitably produce color cast.
The method for controlling the ash balance mainly comprises the steps of manually adjusting the ash balance, an ash balance curve, an ash step scale, an ash balance test chart (colorimeter), a G7 process and the like. The main method of the G7 process is to measure and control the Neutral gray balance on the printed sheet by a spectrophotometer, and match the visual effect of the image with a new NPDC Curve (Neutral Print sensitivity Curve). These methods have the following drawbacks:
1. the traditional printing process takes solid density and dot gain as main control objects, gray balance is not involved, and the traditional G7 process is complex and has long implementation time.
2. In the process of adjusting the gray balance, a rainbow phenomenon is easy to appear, namely, the phenomenon of color cast appears in a plurality of places of the three-color gradual change strip.
3. The manual adjustment of the ash balance curve has large workload and low efficiency.
