Abstract
Hardcopies such as those produced by inkjet printers do not display isolated pixels; the printed binary patterns produced by frequency modulation (FM) halftoning are significantly darker than originals due to dot gain. This research establishes a halftoning algorithm based on the Floyd–Steinberg error diffusion method for fabric inkjet printing using a circular dot simulation of fabric inkjet printers which accurately represents the image tone of fabric inkjet printing. The proposed halftoning approach is easily adapted to a wide variety of silk substrates based on the way the specific printer model and the proposed measurement-based algorithm together estimate the print-dot radius. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm significantly improves tone matching, improves the tone-appropriate quality, and enhances control over the process and forecast level of production.
