GretagMacbeth Mini ColorChecker - Delta-E?

2006-03-02 by Tom

I asked this question elsewhere and am hoping someone here on this
list can give me more insight on this set of measurements.

Does anyone know what the mean and standard deviation are for the
Delta-E and Delta-E (a*b*) are for a typical mini ColorChecker chart
from GretagMacbeth?

I'm getting the following when reading with the SpectroColorimeter
from my PrintFIX PRO package:

Patch Delta-E

1 1.0
2 2.0
3 2.1
4 3.5
5 2.9
6 2.4
7 3.2
8 2.0
9 2.4
10 3.8
11 2.7
12 5.6
13 3.7
14 1.9
15 3.9
16 3.5
17 2.7
18 3.3
19 3.1
20 2.3
21 4.0
22 1.6
23 1.8
24 0.4

Some of them look pretty far off but others are spot on. Is this
standard deviation from manufacturing of the color checker chart or
are the pigments used to create the chart somewhat different than what
the Datacolor 1005 can interpret?

Thanks in advance.
