GRAPHIC ARTS: Light booth

To judge colour visually the use of a lighting cabinet is recommended to diminish influences from the surrounding area. For the visual judgement of the printed colour strips the light cabinet is a basic tool for safe and more consistent visual colour control. Communication will be easier and the risk of misunderstanding decreases considerably. Metamerism is easily detected when using the different light sources standard provided.

One problem with critical and accurate assessments and control of colours is the effect of coloured surroundings. The recommended environment is a neutral grey, but in many cases judgements are made in a room where the light is also reflected off curtains and walls of strong colour. Our lighting cabinets are painted internally with a matt neutral grey (NCS S 2500-N). For small samples there is a sample holder available for viewing at 45°, and painted in the same neutral grey. If you are judging samples with high gloss it’s recommended to use our special glass as diffuser too.
