In Graphic art reproduction process it is important to realize that which set of inks and their densities (film thickness) and which set of halftone positive should be aimed at. in order to meet the demand for good color reproduction. There have been various studies to calculation the color reproduction of the graphic arts. however. these study were based on the assumed characteristics of the materials. In this study the relationship between wet-trapping (wet on wet-printing) and increases of ink layer and printing sequence are examined.

We examine various digital halftoning technique and their application to printings. Three such technique are the error diffusion, cluster dither and disperse dither method. This paper describes a new tone correction halftone method to compensate dot gain. Input digital level are transformed by tone correction characteristics. The function of tone correction are solved from the printer response characteristic. The experimental results show that the proposed method is useful and valid.

The color difference caused by the overprinting sequence of ink in multicolor printing is due to both trapping and optical properties of ink layers. Hence the effect of optical properties only cannot be analyzed without removing the effect of ink trapping This study was carrier out for the purpose of analyzing optically the color difference caused by only the optical properties of ink under the various printing sequence. The present optical analysis for overprints showed a good agreement with the experimental result. It is expected that this study may contribute to decreasing the color difference between the original and the printed reproduction in multi-color printing.

Poly(vinyl cinnamate) had excellent resolution and no dark reaction and high etch resistent. But is was developed in polar solvent. A aqueous-photopolymer was synthesised for improvment of developability. Poly(vinyl cinnamoyl acetate)(PVCiA) and aqueous-PVCiA(PVCiA-s) was prepared and was characterized with H-NMR. The characteristic of sensitivity and developablity of coating was investigated by Grayscale method.

An accurate characterization of the display device is essential for better color matching. The calibration and characterization process in display device is needed to transform the device dependent color to the device independent color. The process of characterization performs a linearization and transforms the linearized values into the CIE XYZ tristimulus values. The purposes of this paper is to propose optimal color transformation method for accurate reproduction of original copy in display device and to explain the propriety of transformation method using specific variable for the power of gradation expression.

A look-up table based vector adaptive filter is proposed in color inverse halftoning. Inverse halftoning converts halftone image into a continuous-tone image. The templates and training images are required in the process of look-up table based methods, which can be obtained from distributed patterns in the sample halftone images and their original images. Although the look-up table based methods usually are faster and show better performances in PSNR than other methods do, they show wide range of qualities depending on how they treat nonexisting patterns in the look-up table. In this paper, a vector adaptive filter is proposed to compensate for these nonexisting patterns, which achieves better quality owing to the contributed informations about hue, saturation, and intensity of surrounding pixels. The experimental results showed that the proposed method resulted in higher PSNR than that of conventional Best Linear Estimation method. The bigger the size of the template in the look-up table becomes, the more outstanding quality in the proposed method can be obtained.

A new integrated coding method is proposed in this study for embedding the text information including Hangul into an image. A monochrome analog image may be quantized to a few leveled digital image and be displayed on bi-leveled output devices by using halftone processing techniques. Text data are embedded on each micro pattern. Based on this concept, the encoding and the decoding algorithm are implemented and experiments are performed. As a result, the average amount of the embedded text information is more than 8 bpp (bits per pixer) in this halftone processed image converted form a $64{\times}64$ image, i.e, corresponding to 2000 characters in Hangul, or 4000 characters in alphanumeral. using this algorithm, the integrated personal record management system is implemented.

The error diffusion algorithm is excellent for reproducing continuous gray-scale images to bianry images and also has good edge characteristics. However, it is well known that artifacts with objectionable patterns can occur in the halftoned images. On the other hand, a halftone algorithm using blue noise mask has been proposed. where the halftoning is achieved by a pixelwise comparison of gray-scale image with an array, the blue noise mask. It doesn't have pattern artifacts, but the halftoned image looks unclear because the quantization errors are not feedbacked compared to the error diffusion. In this paper, edge enhanced error diffusion which dithers the threshold with the blue noise mask is proposed. We show that the proposed algorithm can produce unstructured and edge enhanced halftone images. This algorithm is analyzed by the concept of an equivalent input image. The performace of the proposed algorithm is compared with that of the conventional halftoning by measuring the radially averaged power spectrum and edge correlation.

Look-up table based inverse halftoning from the digital color halftone image is proposed in this paper, which uses vector adaptive filter for the nonexisting patterns in the table. Halftone image is obtained from a continuous -tone image, which can be restored into continuous one from the digital binary image by way of inverse halftoning method. Look-up table based method usually processes fast and has even performances over the various halftoning. The numbers of pixels in the pattern of table and the method how to define the table elements for each R, G, B channels can effect largely for its performance. The proposed method uses 16 pixels in the table considering the diversity of the expressions from their patterns and with memory size as well. This also proposed how to combine R, G, B channels into one. Experimental results showed the better performance in the expression of colors, better color restoration and the short processing time compared with the conventional ones.

Even if some kinds of software for halftoning such as raster image process program are on the market, most of them couldn`t apply to the new laser gravure cylinder making machine because they are closed the source program. In order to develop new laser gravure engraving machine, we were investigated new suitable halftoning software based on the mapping and equal density expansion algorithm that we are mapped. As the results of actual practice with Microsoft Visiul C++2.0 in 133Khz 64M ram IBM personal computer, we found that the new software for halftone generation for laser gravure engraving machine are available in new machine, and easily load and processing the graphic image for gravure hardcopy.
