Każda osoba odpowiedzialna za drukowanie produktów lub opakowań wie, że niektóre barwy, takie jak pomarańczowy, są zbyt trudne do odwzorowania, używając tylko farb CMY. Czwarta barwa, czarna (K, co oznacza barwa kluczowa), jest często dodawana do drukowania metodą barw substrakcyjnych. Ponieważ C+M+Y faktycznie tworzy zabrudzoną, brązową barwę ze względu na zanieczyszczenia farby w C, M i Y, dodanie prawdziwie czarnej farby tworzy głębokie barwy i odcienie, których nie da ...

Najlepszym sposobem wizualizacji, jak barwa będzie reagować na rzeczywiste warunki oświetleniowe, jest skorzystanie z jakościowej komory świetlnej. Tradycyjne komory świetlne zawierają powszechne źródła światła, takie jak światło dzienne, żarówki tradycyjne i świetlówki, aby odwzorować, jak barwa będzie wyglądała w sklepie detalicznym oraz po zakupie w warunkach oświetlenia zewnętrznego i domowego. Obecnie zwiększone korzystanie z lamp LED w środowiskach domowych, komercyjny...

Black Friday. Not only is it the much anticipated start to holiday shopping, it’s also a day manufacturers have been preparing for all year long. Whether mass-producing holiday cards, candy canes, plastic toys, or festive clothing, accurate color is a must. Manufacturers can’t ship two of the same toy if they won’t match on the showroom floor, and holiday sweaters that are a shade off will end up at a discount store instead of a fashion boutique. Perfection is especially import...

Whether you work with plastics, coatings or textiles, you must consistently achieve in-tolerance color or your product could be rejected before it even makes it to the shelf or showroom.     This is especially true for brands that rely on off-site suppliers and manufacturers for raw materials and parts that come together at assembly, such as the plastic dashboard, fabric seats, and coated interior panels of a car. Even if each site produces in-tolerance color, it must be monitored an...

Appearance is more than just color. It’s an all-inclusive look at everything inherent to an object, including texture, gloss, transparency, translucency, and special effects like sparkle and shimmer. When viewed from different angles or under different lighting conditions, appearance effects can change our perception of color. That's why it’s important to control both color and appearance throughout design and development.  Durable goods brands use appearance effects to captur...

Using a light booth to visually judge color is a great start to a successful color evaluation program.

Color is our perception of reflected light across the visible spectrum. When light hits an object, it absorbs some rays and reflect others. The color of light that reflects back into our eyes is the color we perceive. The more light an object absorbs, the darker it appears. With black, very little light is reflected. Pure black in the presence of light wasn’t achieved until 2014 when Surrey NanoSystems announced the invention of Vantablack. This high-tech artificial substance absorbs 99....
