摘要:
A method of accurately printing a target colour is provided. The method comprises: in a first step measuring the light spectrum (106) of a first printed colour sample (104), which has been printed with a first ink coverage; and from the measured light spectrum calculating a colour discrepancy between the first printed colour sample and the target colour. The method further comprises in a second step calculating an improved ink coverage (112), and printing a second colour sample with the improved ink coverage (104). The aforementioned steps are repeated until a predetermined condition for accuracy of the target colour has been reached (110).
