   Research projects
 
Colour difference

The aims of this project are to:

  • evaluate the use of CIE94 and CIEDE2000 as general colour-difference formulas in graphic arts colour reproduction, and to derive optimum acceptability parameters for their use 
  • explore the effects of measurement geometry across different media, quantify the effects of media surface properties such as gloss, and develop correction models for them.

Gamut mapping in colour management systems

This project aims to:

  • Derive methods of mapping colours between different media from an empirical study of high quality colour reproductions
  • Implement and test these methods in a colour reproduction system.

Colour appearance in colour management systems

This project aims to:

  • Explore the effect of surround and background on colour appearance
  • Determine the requirements for visually achromatic colours on a range of different coloured backgrounds
  • Study the visual adaptation to chromatic backgrounds and evaluate methods of reproducing colours on coloured paper

Reference CMYK profiles for commercial offset printing

A set of ICC colour profiles have been produced from reference printing measurement data produced by IFRA and FOGRA. The profiles have good colorimetric accuracy and their perceptual rendering intent has been modified to ensure that reproductions meet the objectives of skilled image creators.
