DETERMINING AN AMOUNT OF TRANSLUCENT PRINTING FLUID

摘要

An example method for determining an amount of a translucent printing fluid in accordance with the present disclosure is provided. The example method comprises printing a plurality of test patterns (11, 12) with different proportions of colored and translucent printing fluids. The plurality of test patterns comprise a first area (11a, 12a) and a second area (11b, 12b) contiguous with the first area, wherein a color of the second area is different from a color of the first area. Migration characteristics of the plurality of test patterns are analyzed to determine an amount of translucent printing fluid to use for a successive printing operation.
