COLOR MEASUREMENT THE
RIGHT WAY
2
Quality Printing
• Quality printing depends on precise color measurement, Modern color measuring
devices are generally based on spectrophotometers, even if they only show
densities.
3
Quality Printing (cont’d)
• This is because of the higher measuring accuracy of spectrophotometry, together with
a greater range of available measurement values.
4
Color Settings
• Correct setting often depends on the country such as the bvdm in Germany and
CGATS in the U.S. Settings can be made for the following values:
Illuminant
Observer angle
Density filter
Polarization filter
White reference
5
Illuminant
• This defines the color temperature of the lighting source. For printing, the standard is
currently D50, which corresponds to 5,000 Kelvin.
Observer angle
• The standard observer angle in printing is currently defined as 2°. This
corresponds to the printer's observation angle in the matching stage.
6
Density filter
• This determines the spectral range that is to be used to calculate the density values
for CMYK. "Status T" is used for measuring in the United States.
Polarization filter
• Polarization filters eliminate the gloss of wet ink. The wet values therefore
correspond almost entirely to the dry density and tonal values.
7
White reference
• The "absolute white" setting is preferred for density measurement in North
America. In all other countries, the white reference is "relative." Paper white is
therefore always taken as the zero point here.
• To match a spectrophotometer to an old densitometer, it is necessary to know the
densitometer's settings precisely and apply exactly the same parameters to the
spectrophotometer.
