Paper Abstract
We investigate the optical phenomenon responsible for the colored shine that sometimes appears at the surface of ink
layers in the specular direction, often called bronzing or gloss differential. It seems to come from the wavelength-dependent
refractive index of the ink, which induces a wavelength-dependent reflectance of the ink-air interface. Our
experiments on cyan and magenta inkjet inks confirm this theory. Complex refractive indices can be obtained from
measurements of the spectral reflectance and transmittance of a transparency film coated with the ink. We propose a
correction of the classical Clapper-Yule model in order to include the colored gloss in the prediction of the spectral
reflectance of an inked paper. We also explored effects of scattering by the micrometric or nanometric roughness of the
ink surface. The micrometric roughness, easy to model with a geometrical optics model, can predict the spreading of the
colored gloss over a large cone. Electromagnetic models accounting for the effect of the nanometric roughness of the
surface also predict the attenuation of short wavelengths observed under collimated illumination.
