Abstract: Printing with a first print engine on a front side of a substrate, and a second print engine on the rear side of the substrate, wherein a first spectrophotometer sensor and a second spectrophotometer sensor are used for spectrophotometric measurements on the blank front and rear sides of the substrate, and producing correction data which represent a deviation of the spectrum representing output signals from the first and second sensors, and wherein a correction derived from the correction data compensates a deviation in the spectral reflectivity of at least one of the front side and the rear side of the substrate. Cross-calibrating the first and second sensors is by processing the spectrum representing output signals of the sensors from identical spectrophotometric measurements.

Abstract: A computer-implemented intelligent alignment method for a color sensing device (12) which initially obtains a raw sense value measured by the color sensing device and converts the raw sense value to a tristimulus value (S401). The color sensing device may be calibrated using a known set of colors (S402). Raw readings received from the color sensing device may be mapped to known tristimulus values (S403), and mapped values may be converted to a standard reference illuminant color space (S404). A client-server system may be provided in which a color sensing device and one or more servers collectively execute operations according to the present disclosure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for two-dimensional, spatially resolved measurement of tristimulus values of light emitted from a plurality of positions on a sample. It is an object of the invention to provide an improved method and system for spatially resolved chromaticity and luminance measurement in a standardized color space for display testing. The method of the invention comprises the steps of: directing a first portion of the light to an RGB camera which produces a two-dimensional map of RGB color values; transforming the RGB color values into first tristimulus values to produce a map of tristimulus values; directing a second portion of the light to a colorimeter which produces second tristimulus values; deriving a tristimulus correction by comparing the second tristimulus values with at least a subset of the first tristimulus values; and applying the tristimulus correction to the first tristimulus values to produce a corrected map of tristimulus values. Moreover, the invention relates to an imaging colorimeter system capable of two-dimensional, spatially resolved measurement of tristimulus values of light emitted from a plurality of positions on a sample.

Abstract: A laminated coating film (2) includes a metallic base layer (4) and a color clear layer 5, and produces a target color with the metallic base layer 4 and the color clear layer (5). The laminated coating film (2) is designed to have high chroma at the highlight, and further to provide an appearance of denseness. To address this, the laminated coating film satisfies the following formula (1): (RH(P)/RH(OA))>60  (1) where RH(P) represents a highlight reflectance of light of the target color, and RH(OA) represents an average highlight reflectance of light in a wavelength range outside a hue range of the target color.
