Sažetak
A different number of white ink layers printed with the inkjet technology can influence the legibility of prints. Therefore, we tested how to achieve best legibility of printed text and labelling information, considering the changes in colorimetric and typographic properties. The prints were made with an inkjet printer and three different numbers of white ink layers were used. Three different typefaces in four different sizes, appropriate for labelling, were tested. The colour differences were determined colorimetrically and the differences in the typographic tonal density of typefaces were measured with an image analysis. The legibility research was performed with the help of observers who read the printed text in the combination of white ink on black paper and black ink on white paper. The results led to the conclusion that with regard to the colorimetric and typographic quality and effectiveness, the legibility was the best at two layers of white ink.
