Abstract

The digital textile printing (DTP) has several advantages such as proper system for production of small amount, quick response system (QRS), and manufacturing of textile goods by various printing designs. However, it still has problems of color reproduction and control. Generally, color gamut of RGB (red, green, blue) system is wider than that of CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black); therefore, the colors seen in the monitor is different from the colors that appear in the printed output. The color management system (CMS) has been used for improving reproduction and control of printing color. This study was investigated the effects on the appearance of colors in printouts through CMS application such as color gamut, printability and color difference. The results were obtained as follows: first, Color gamut volume with dot gain 49% was decreased to 31.1% in comparison with dot gain 10%; Second, K/S value increased as the dot gain increased; third, the resolution of printer does not have so much effect on printability with light color when dot gain 10 and 20%; and fourth, by using CMS including calibration and profiling process, it was possible to reproduce monitor's color with DTP and reduce the standard deviation of $\Delta$E between monitor's color and printed color with DTP from 5.27 to 2.92.
