RTI for RGB: Photographing mica based inks on black paper using reflectance transform imaging (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Over the last century printers rely on the combination of halftones and subtractive CMYK ink primaries to translate an image on screen into a colour print on paper. This is certainly commercially expedient for many industrial applications. However, t...
