ABSTRACT:
An ink set composition, an apparatus, and a method of providing an image on a receiver are provided. The method includes operating a printhead having a first segment that applies a gloss matching fluid to the non-imaged area of the printed area of the image and a second segment that applies an ink set having at least one color to the imaged area of the printed area of the image, wherein the ink set has a predetermined minimum gloss value (GVmin) and a maximum gloss value (GVmax), and the gloss matching fluid has a predetermined gloss value (GVGMF), wherein the predetermined gloss value GVGMFsatisfying the following condition: 0.1 GVmin≦GVGMF ≦1.5 GVmax, wherein GVminand GVmaxare predetermined gloss values calculated according to the following equations:in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?GVmin=MIN(GV1, GV2, . . . , GVi, . . . , GVn)in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?GVmax=MAX(GV1, GV2, . . . , GVi, . . . , GVn)in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?where, i is a variable which identifies a certain color patch used in the evaluation, and n is the total number of color patches used in the evaluation. The apparatus includes an ink set source having at least one color and a source of gloss matching fluid connected to the printhead adapted to deliver the ink set and the gloss matching fluid to a receiver based on data received from a controller.
