Here we have got an example for a low data-ink ratio. The data-ink ratio is the proportion of the ink that is used to present actual data, without redundancy, compared to the total amount of int used in the entire display. The goal is to receive the highest possible data-ink ration (a value close to 1.0 or 100%).
The data-ink ratio is defined as the percentage: (100*data-ink)/(total ink used on the graph) [1]

First off all we have to distinguish between data-ink and non-data-ink:

  • data-ink is the essential non-erasable ink used to present the data
  • non-data-ink is the redundant ink used to ellaborate or decorate the graph [2]
