1 Bidirectional Reflectance and Texture Database of Printed Special Effect Colors Katharina Kehren, Philipp Urban, Edgar Dörsam Institute of Printing Science and Technology Institute of Printing Science and Technology Katharina Kehren

2 Introduction Background and Problem thin coating flaky substrate 5 µm µm special effect pigment high-refracting coating transparent substrate thin-layer interference background: geometry-dependent color due to interference effect clearly visible texture caused by particle size problem: no founded assortment of measuring geometries no appropriate set of appearance correlates blue pigments on black paper 100 µm particle size of 5 µm to 300 µm Institute of Printing Science and Technology Katharina Kehren 2

3 Introduction Objectives and Application objectives: this paper: information about a new reflectance and texture database my research: investigation of essential appearance correlates application: printing industry: tolerances for process control and quality assurance computer graphics: physically-based rendering using measured bidirectional data large color spread large color spread and high texture intensity high texture intensity Institute of Printing Science and Technology Katharina Kehren 3

4 Samples Printing Substrates parallel, embedded pigments two wood-free art papers with a grammage of 120 g/m² provided by Stora Enso Research Center Mönchengladbach even, nonporous substrate glossy coated paper Lumi Art glossy coated paper: sharp color shift and high gloss intensity nonparallel, exposed pigments uneven, porous substrate matte coated paper: blurry color shift and high texture intensity matte coated paper Lumi Silk Institute of Printing Science and Technology Katharina Kehren 4

5 Samples Printing Press modular design and flexo unit of web-fed printing press Gallus RCS Institute of Printing Science and Technology Katharina Kehren 5

6 Samples Digital Masters and Printing Plates 100 % black ink 60 % effect ink 100 % gloss varnish 70 % effect ink 80 % effect ink digital master, printing plate and sample of pre-print digital master, printing plate and sample of main-print digital master, printing plate and sample of post-print Institute of Printing Science and Technology Katharina Kehren 6

7 Samples Pre-Print with Black Absorption Ink ink layer absorption black background absorption on black background: no contribution to interference effect color ink layer scattering white background scattering on white background: superposition of complementary color sample after pre-print with waterbased flexo ink Aqualabel Black of Siegwerk Druckfarben AG Institute of Printing Science and Technology Katharina Kehren 7

8 Samples Main-Print with 28 Special Effect Inks 3 silver white pigments 3 gold pigments 3 iron oxide pigments 8 interference effect pigments 7 multi-color pigments 4 sparkle pigments 28 pigment types sample after main-print with one of 28 water-based special effect inks provided by MERCK KGaA Institute of Printing Science and Technology Katharina Kehren 8

9 Samples Post-Print with Clear Gloss Varnish diffuse reflection printing substrate somehow diffuse reflection on uneven ink surface: lower gloss intensity directional reflection printing substrate more directional reflection on even varnish surface: higher gloss intensity sample after post-print with clear UV-curing gloss varnish Senolith of Weilburger Graphics GmbH Institute of Printing Science and Technology Katharina Kehren 9
