Abstract

We present an analysis and model for evaluation of color shifts in halftone printing caused by inter-separation misregistration for periodic clustered dot halftones. Using a lattice framework, we present intuitive analysis that demonstrates conditions under which the average color is asymptotically invariant under inter-separation misregistration. Combining the framework with an analytic representation for the halftone dots, we develop a hybrid analytical-numerical model for quantitatively estimating color shifts as a function of inter-separation misregistration. The model is compared against experimental data for a xerographic printer.
