Abstract
A method of making a colorimeter colour standard, including determining print parameters required to achieve a desired colour for the colour standard, printing the desired colour on a colour-receiving face of a first transparent piece using the determined print parameters and permanently affixing the printed first piece to a second transparent piece such that the colour-receiving face of the first transparent piece and a joining face of the second transparent piece are positioned at the interface between the first transparent piece and the second transparent piece.
Claims16
A method of making a colorimeter colour standard, comprising:
- determining print parameters required to achieve a target colour for the colour standard;
- printing the target colour on a colour-receiving face of a first transparent piece using the determined print parameters;
- and
- permanently affixing the first transparent piece to a second transparent piece after printing the target colour on the colour-receiving face such that the colour-receiving face of the first transparent piece and a joining face of the second transparent piece are positioned at an interface between the first transparent piece and the second transparent piece,
- wherein at least one of the first transparent piece and the second transparent piece comprises an ultraviolet coating that protects against ultraviolet degradation.
A colorimeter colour standard comprising a first transparent piece permanently affixed to a second transparent piece such that a colour-receiving face of the first transparent piece and a joining face of the second transparent piece are positioned at an interface between the first transparent piece and the second transparent piece, wherein the colour-receiving face of the first transparent piece bears a target colour, and wherein at least one of the first transparent piece and the second transparent piece comprises an ultraviolet coating that protects against ultraviolet degradation.
