Abstract
Color printers produce a great number of images. However, ink discoloration induces color degradation of the images with time. Different from previous research that measures ink density or color as printed images fade, the area coverage of inks is considered as the degradation indicator in this paper. Based on the halftone printing technique used by modern color printers, we propose a multi-layered degradation transition diagram for ink fading. A stochastic Hull-White degradation model is developed from the differential equations implied by the ink fading transition diagram. Distribution of time to unacceptable fading and parameters estimation of the image degradation (fading) model are investigated. Numerical examples of ink fading and image fading are given to illustrate the proposed approach.
