Barbieri Spectro LFP qb Reviewed By Rob Cawston At CMYUK

My name is Rob Cawston. I am an independent color management consultant working with CMYUK for over 15 years now. CMYUK are a very early proponent of color profiling their super wide printers. CMYUK profile every super wide printer that comes out the door. This ensures that all colors are accurate, all grays and neutral, and all spot colors have a smal delta E, which basically means the colors are accurate and as expected. I've been using Barbieri measurement instruments for the past 15 years. In my opinion, they are the best in the industry. They are especially good profiling materials for super wide printers. The unique feature of the Barbieri devices is that they can take automatic transmissive and reflective measurements on any thickness of material. Nobody else does this.The sensing unit on the Barbieri QB Textile edition takes a picture with a camera. That camera records where the patches are on the output. Then the spectral unit can scan the colors accurately by knowing ...

Color excellence by understanding white backing

Back to Barbieri ONDavid Hunter, owner and founder of Pilot Marketing Group Inc and Chromachecker Corp and has 30 plus years of experience in a graphic arts and printing industry. When it comes to accuracy and color measurements, many people know all about measurement technologies, but it's often the little things that easily are forgotten.Let's talk about white backing. David. What is white backing? What do we have to pay attention to?What is white backing?The purpose for the proper white backing is that every paper has a certain amount of translucency, meaning that if light hits the paper, it's going to shine through the paper and an instrument has a light in it, so when an instrument shines on the paper, what's behind the paper greatly affects what's returned into the instrument measurement head. And when you're taking multiple prints on different printers, on different substrates, and you want to know that the prints are close to one another, the effect of the backing, ...
