This study introduces new models and mathematical formulations describing the light scattering and ink spreading phenomena. Based on these new theoretical tools, the spectra of 100 real paper samples produced by two ink-jet printers were computed with an average prediction error of about dE=2.1 in CIELAB.

Keywords: spectral colour prediction, light scattering, ink spreading, halftones, ink-jet printing.
