This study aims at modeling ink spreading in order to improve the prediction of the reflection spectra of three ink color prints. Ink spreading is a kind of dot gain which causes significant color deviations in ink jet printing. We have developed an ink Spreading model which requires the consideration of only a limited number of cases. Using a combinatorial approach based on Pbya's counting theory, we determine a small set of ink drop configurations which allows us to deduce the ink spreading in all Other cases. This improves the estimation of the area covered by each ink combination that is crucial in color prediction models.
