Re: [colorvision_group] How much is a scratch?

2006-12-08 by Doug Lenos

Please post back your findings... of course the target prints may have changed due to light, length of time since printing, etc... I would be interested to know if the 2.0 version produces a noticible difference over the 1.1 version for standard color profiles. I plan on doing the same this weekend - re-reading print targets that are about 2-3 months old - been stored in the dark, and sealed...

Well.. How much _is_ a scratch then? :=)

Celebrating the new 2.0 version I thought Id take a couple of 225 and
238 patch prints and reread them. After dusting them off with a soft
brush (yeah I know: paranoid), I found several marks/scruffs on the
patches. The marks can be devided in two types: the more superficial
that dont "go through" the ink, but of course none the less breaks
light: otherwise you wouldnt see them. And then there is the small
penetrating ones, clearly showing paper. The latter I only found one
or two of, and it beats me how they came (paper is Epson Prem
Semigloss). The first ones, superficials, are more plentyfull, and
came from the Spectrometer when reading first time over, I suppose.

So finally, the question!

Will the superficial scratches have any bearings on my result,
rereading them?

No matter the answer Im printing new ones at this moment :=)

Kind Regards
