Abstract
Paper properties, especially paper optical properties, are important factors for ink-jet print color reproduction. The objective of this work was to explore the influences of paper optical properties on print color reproduction. Herein, papers were sized with different dyes which affect paper optical properties but had little effect on the other properties. CIE whiteness is better than ISO brightness to express the paper color, because CIE whiteness not only shows the paper lightness but also exhibits the color of paper. CIE whiteness of paper is an effective way to express the color reproduction. The color reproduction is mainly influenced by a* and b* values of paper. L* value above 94 did not have a significant impact in lightness of printed sample. The effect of paper CIE whiteness on color reproduction could be decreased by improving ink cover properties.
