Description
Summary:Three frequently used formulas and their power function modifications were used to calculate the colour differences after the exposure to light and to study the stability of ink jet prints by spectrophotometric measurements. The prints were exposed to the simulated daylight of different spectral composition at constant conditions of temperature and relative humidity. According to the results, the black prints were the least affected and the magenta prints exhibited the biggest colour differences. The most resistant have proven to be the prints on archival paper which contained no optical brightening agents. The presence of shortwave radiation between 320 and 300 nm additionally diminished the resistance of prints. The same conclusions were obtained regardless of the colour difference formula applied, with one exception. Generally, the CIEDE2000 formula performed the best, especially when comparing samples with a smaller colour difference.
