Executive summary

Objective

The objective of this research was to study the effects of the paper color and gloss lamination on the color prints and the acceptance decisions of the sample group towards the color prints.

Project detail

Process

The three different paper colors were selected in this study Paper A was white paper, Paper B was bluishwhite shade paper and Paper C was reddishwhite shade paper. The offset plate with the color test form was made and used to print the samples on the three types of paper which were then taken to gloss laminated on the printed surface. The printed samples on the three types of paper before and after gloss lamination were compared in terms of color value, color gamut, and color difference. In addition, the printed samples were evaluated by a sample group of 30 people.

Result

the bluishwhite shade of the paper caused the print image to have wider blue gamut and the reddishwhite shade of the paper also caused the printed image to have wider red gamut. As the gloss lamination on the printed paper increased the yellow gamut and most affected the green area of the prints. The printed image on Paper A both before and after gloss lamination gave minimal color differences.
