D65 vs Other Illuminants for Textiles
Understand when textiles are evaluated under D65, A, D50, F11/TL84 and other sources, and why calculation illuminants, viewing lamps and UV conditions must be distinguished.
Technical guide · Read the guide →Metamerism
Metamerism in Textiles
Control textile metamerism by comparing spectral curves and color differences under all required illuminants, while separating pair mismatch from single-sample color inconstancy.

Optical Brighteners and UV in Paper Measurement
Understand how optical brightening agents and instrument UV content change paper and print measurements, and how M1, M2, ISO and D65 conditions should be controlled.
Technical guide · Read the guide →Delta E
Measuring Spot Colors
Measure spot colors with spectral targets, controlled ink film and substrate conditions, and tolerances that preserve hue and chroma as well as total color difference.
