  • Instrument geometries, and the properties of graphic arts materials 
  • Precision, accuracy and uncertainty in colour measurement
  • Graphic arts standards for colorimetry
There are also extensive hands-on sessions on measuring spectral reflectance, defining the gamut of colour media, process control, and measuring printed targets and colour monitors for device calibration and the creation of ICC profiles.
