Abstract
For the color measurement of samples printed on a substrate including a brightener, a raw spectral reflection factor of the sample is measured in a first measurement by illumination of the sample with light without UV portion. In a second measurement, a fluorescence spectrum of the sample is measured by illumination of the sample with only UV light. The measured fluorescence spectrum is recalculated as a corrected fluorescence spectrum by weighting with spectrally dependent correction factors and, finally, the measured raw spectral reflection factor and the corrected fluorescence spectrum are added to form a corrected spectral reflection factor from which the values characterizing the color of the sample are then calculated. The spectral correction factors are determined during the device manufacture for a certain set of light types and stored in the device.
