Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to judge good colors and bad colors simply and quickly without depending on intuition, experience and the like by judging the color difference between a target color with a good-product judging region in a two-dimensional color space as a reference and the surface color of a finished printed material. CONSTITUTION:When examples of a good-product judging region are illustrated, the hue difference is shown on the X axis and the brightness difference is shown on the Y axis on one diagram with a sample pattern as the center in the indications of the color differences. The saturation difference is shown on the X axis and the brightness difference is shown on the Y axis in the other diagram. There are these two examples. With the judging region as the reference for the target color, the color difference between the surface color of the finished printed material and the target color is judged. The result is shown on a color plane. When the result is located within the good-product judging region, it is judged that the product is good. When the result is not located in the good-product judging region, the vector on the plane wherein three attributes of the colors of the finished printed material are moved is determined. The color adjustment of ink should be considered on the basis of the vector.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in multicolor printing, it has been difficult for experts to judge whether the color of the printed printed matter is good or bad at the time of color mixing, or to guess how to mix the ink when the color is different from the target color. Because it relied only on intuition and experience, it was inconvenient that the printing process could not be moved ahead, for example, when an experienced person was absent. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of streamlining and automating printing operations, there has been a desire for a method that can easily and quickly determine the quality of the colors of printed materials without relying on intuition or experience.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to determine the color difference between the target color based on the non-defective judgment area and the surface color of the finished printed matter. An object of the present invention is to provide a color difference determination method that allows the determination of the quality of the color of a printed matter to be performed simply and quickly without relying on intuition or experience.

From a collection of data on attributes (hue, brightness, saturation), connect the outermost non-defective points with a straight line to create a non-defective judgment area for that sample pattern, and use this non-defective judgment area as the standard for the target color. It is characterized by determining the color difference between the surface color of the finished printed matter and the target color.

[Operation] According to the present invention, a non-defective product determination area for a certain sample pattern is created based on data of three attributes accumulated regarding the surface color of a printed matter that is determined to be non-defective for that sample pattern, It is possible to judge whether the color of the finished printed matter is good or bad depending on whether the data of the three attributes measured on the finished printed matter are within this non-defective determination area. Therefore, this judgment of quality can be easily and quickly made without relying on intuition or experience, and is based on data on the three attributes of color, so the accuracy or reliability of the judgment is extremely high.

The color difference is displayed by plotting the horizontal axis (X-axis) as the hue difference, the vertical axis (Y-axis) as the brightness difference (see figure (a)), and the horizontal axis (X-axis) as the color difference. It is displayed on two coordinate planes: the degree difference and the brightness difference on the vertical axis (Y-axis) (FIG. 2(b)). The three attributes of color, hue, brightness, and saturation, are displayed on a three-dimensional color space, so in order to evaluate them on a flat surface,
It is displayed on the above two coordinate planes. In FIG. 4, the color difference is displayed centered on the sample, but it is also possible to display the entire display by moving it in parallel with the specified printed matter at the center.

Using this non-defective determination area as a reference for the target color, a color difference between the surface color of the finished printed matter and the target color is determined, and the quality of the printed matter is determined. A specific method is to measure the surface color of the finished printed matter, display the measurement results (three attribute data) on the two coordinate planes, and if it falls within the acceptable product judgment area, the color is passed. The machine can determine this and start printing.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained in detail above, the color difference determination method of the present invention has the following effects:
Based on data on three attributes accumulated regarding the surface color of printed matter judged to be good for a certain sample disease, a good product judgment area for that sample disease is created, and this non-defective judgment area is used as the target color standard for printing. This is to judge the color difference between the surface color of the printed matter and the target color, and it is possible to judge whether the color of the finished printed matter is good or bad depending on whether the data of the three attributes measured on the finished printed matter are within the acceptable quality judgment range. This judgment of quality can be easily and quickly made without relying on intuition or experience. Furthermore, since the data of the three color attributes is used as the standard, the accuracy or reliability of the determination is extremely high. In addition, if the data of the finished print does not fall within the above-mentioned non-defective judgment area, it is possible to know from the color difference data which direction and how much to move the three color attributes of the finished print to achieve the target print. Based on this, it is possible to infer how to mix the ink.
