Ink set composition, and an apparatus and method of forming images having reduced gloss differential
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 GVGMF satisfying the following condition: 0.1 GVmin≦GVGMF ≦1.5 GVmax, wherein GVmin and GVmaxare predetermined gloss values calculated according to the following equations:GVmin=MIN(GV1, GV2, . . . , GVi, . . . , GVn)GVmax=MAX(GV1, GV2, . . . , GVi, . . . , GVn)
