Print Science

Unwanted unevenness of density or gloss in a printed solid area.

In print science, mottle is the undesired non-uniformity of a printed area that should look even, seen as patchy variation in density or gloss and often traced to uneven ink or coating absorption. Im, Youn, and Lee (2024), in BioResources, evaluate print mottle of double-coated paper. Here mottle is a printing-uniformity defect, not a viral leaf symptom.[1]

Unit
One mottle measure (spatial variation of reflectance in a solid area).
Recovery means
Look for patchy density or gloss variation in an area meant to be uniform.
Measured by
By spatial reflectance statistics of the printed solid.

Plant Pathology

A patchy light-and-dark discoloration of foliage, often a viral symptom.

In plant pathology, mottle is an irregular patchwork of light and dark green (or yellow) on leaves, a common symptom of viral infection, and several viruses are named for it. Okada (1986), in The Plant Viruses, describes cucumber green mottle mosaic virus and its mottling symptom. Here mottle is a disease symptom on foliage, not a printing-uniformity defect.[2]

Unit
One mottling pattern on affected foliage.
Recovery means
Look for irregular light/dark patches on leaves, distinct from uniform chlorosis.
Measured by
By visual symptom scoring and confirmation of the causal virus.
