Colour assessments must obviously be made under carefully controlled conditions of illumination and viewing if there is to be agreement between all those concerned in the various stages of the reproduction process. The British Standards Institution therefore implemented BS 950 ‘Artificial daylight for the assessment of colour’. The latest report issued on the work of the Pira/ UK Colour Printing Council is designed to assist in the installation of lighting, particularly where colour assessments are necessary. It explains the importance of good lighting design and how to implement the British Standard. The report is entitled ‘Guidelines on the selection of lighting for colour assessment in graphic reproduction’.
