Abstract
In the field of rotogravure, print quality requirements
are particularly high. Increased brightness and whiteness
in substrates, such as paper and paperboard, have
increased the visual assessment of white area
contamination, i.e. background discoloration in non-image
areas. This has been increasing over recent years with no
evident explanation. Publishers have made efforts to
increase print quality by using whiter substrates, which
has lead to a visual appearance of rotogravure background
darkening (RGBD), in the in the most serious cases called
toning.
