5、nificance and Use3.1 This practice is for determining the color response of anelectrostatic copy system by examining the black and whitecopies obtained from an electrostatic copier. This practicecovers the capability of a copy system to reproduce varioussolid colors in varying shades of grey or blac

6、k and white.4. Interferences4.1 This practice can be used to measure the color responsefor different copy system conditions (machine adjustments,machine configuration, supplies, environment, and so forth).These conditions should be noted so that comparison tests canbe made.4.2 In liquid developed co

7、piers, the system color response isstrongly dependent on the condition (that is, age, concentra-tion, and so forth) of the toner bath. As a liquid toner is cycledthrough depletion and replenishment, color response may showwide fluctuations even though fluctuations in other copyquality criteria (for

8、example, background, edge effect, resolu-tion, and density) may not be altered. (See Terminology F 335.)4.3 In dry toned copiers, the system color response isstrongly dependent on the age and condition of the photocon-ductor and developer and may also show wide fluctuations incolor response even tho

9、ugh some of the copy quality criterialisted in 4.2 may not be altered.4.4 Copy systems that circulate the original to be copiedthrough the copier may not be capable of handling a consumerprepared test target.5. Apparatus5.1 Reflectometer, operated and standardized according tothe manufacturers instr

10、uctions and in accordance with TestMethod E97. Spectral response shall be for measuring thedaylight luminous reflectance factor, as described under theTerminology section of Test Method E97.6. Materials6.1 Copy paper, toning supplies, photoreceptor, and so forthshould be approved materials currently

11、 used by the evaluator.Any change of supplies from one manufacturer to those ofanother may alter the test results.7. Procedure7.1 Prepare a test target in accordance with the Test Originalsection described in Practice F 360. Select Munsell ColorChips appropriate to their copying needs and adhere by

12、anysuitable method those selected chips on a suitable papersubstrate (starting in the center of the substrate) allowingspatial intervals between the chips of at least 3.8 cm (112 in.).7.1.1 Alternate commercially available color composite tar-gets can be selected and used as a target.7.1.2 If the cu

13、stomers color is not on the target, the resultsmay be misleading results, particularly if saturated inks areused.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F05 on BusinessImaging Products and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F05.04 onElectrostatic Imaging Products.Current

17、e user can also include a run-up and run-down of theexposure setting as a test for grey scale response.8. Results and Calculations8.1 Method AObserve the imaged copies under normalillumination. Identify the colors that have been clearly repro-duced (and separated if appropriate). Record all pertinen

18、tinformation regarding the test structure, that is, copier systemmodel number, supplies lot number (if one is present), supplierby name of each supply item, environmental conditions, etc.Record all data on the imaged copy.8.2 Alternate Method B:8.2.1 Using the reflectometer (in accordance with the m

19、anu-facturers instructions), determine the reflectance for eachimaged color patch, taking a minimum of three separatereadings near the center of the color patch. Record thereflectance readings adjacent to each reproduced color patch onthe imaged copy.8.2.2 Calculate the average image reflectance val

21、n2 Bn!Bb2 Bn(2)where:Bn= reflectance of the copied image of a solid black patch.Bb= reflectance of the copied image of a solid white patch.Rn= reflectance of the copied image of the solid colorpatch under test (this is the same as expressed in8.2.2).9.
