Now for the Bonus round question ! i1xtreme UV or NON UV system & why ?
« Reply #40 on: June 28, 2010, 08:10:27 am »

BTW Did anyone use BableColor CT&A v 3.0? Very interesting indeed. I did. But, ha-ha, an i1Pro even with UV-filter from photocamera and with manipulations will not replace native i1Pro UVcut.
The quote from BabelColor CT&A doc:
Quote
Spectral Tools: Use this tool to measure color patches with and without UV-cut with only a non-UV-cut Eye-One. A UV-blocking filter is required.

For Scott at Onsight...
In reference to a statement you made earlier......" A better solution is coming to market " Can you tell us a little more on what that solution is ....
i1Profiler is what it's called and the cat is now out of the bag. You can read about it at: http://www.xrite.com/custom_page.aspx?PageID=156

NickWalker, when you do some exhaustive testing between EyeOneMatch,MonacoProfiler and the upcoming i1Profiler I think you'll feel good about retiring EyeOneMatch!

OK now for real world example.

I printed a 918 test chart which was allowed to dry for 3 days, this was measured with i1Pro and measure tool in PM 5.09 with spectral enabled, I did several measurment, and all were very close to each other, I created  a profile using Profilee Maker without the correct for optical brightners switched on. The software recognised there were OBA in the paper. Paper is Hahnemuhle Fine Art Baryta.

Same measurement were done with another i1Pro but this time it is UV cut, also created many measurement and then a profile in PM5.

Printed two test images withe two profiles, and I can't see or tell any difference at all, under different viewing conditions. Is that may be due to the paper having low OBA.

I was expecting the UV Cut profile, to give a blusih cast under uv light, as this was not compensated for with yellow ink, and normall indoors, where the profile measured without filter, I expected normal color under UV light due to extra yellow ink to offset the increased blue from the OBA and slight yellowish indoors, as there is no UV light to react with paper, well that is what these forum led me to beleive.

Have I missed something along the line ssome where?

Thanks in advance
Issa

I didn't use Hahnemuhle Fine Art Baryta. But usually Fine Art papers don't have OBA (I know the only paper with considerable amount of OBA - it's Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper).
Try papers with large amount of OBA (Epson Ultra Glossy Paper, Epson Traditional Photo Paper, Epson Archival Matte Paper etc.) and you'll see the difference at a glance.

FAB does have OBAs. As to how much I'm not sure. Hahnemuhle's data sheet only says that the "OBA content" is "moderate".

Almost all the RC papers have OBA/FWA. It is less used in Fine Art papers but even in that category there are some loaded with it.

Thanks for your info.

BTW about OBAs (measured values) in Epson papers.

Thanks - I think whilst FAB does have OBA it is ver small amount and does not have an any visual impact of prints whetehr you use UV-CUT or non UV I1Pro.

I was interested to the difference, i suupose I ned to use High OBA content paper to se that, might do that at some stage.

Comparing the spectral plots of a nice OBA free Fine Art paper with a high whiteness like Canon Rag Photographique or Moab Entrada Neutral, to the plots of Moab Entrada Rag Bright, Lumijet Photo White Satin + Photo White. HM Photorag Bright White, HM Torchon, HP Canvas paper, I see OBAs used to the level of what is common in RC papers. Smaller quantities used in HM Photorag etc.

The most extreme: Moab Entrada Rag Bright just ahead of the FujiFilm Photo Glossy RC on the OBA measured valley and peak

In Fiber and Baryta qualities the HM FineArt Pearl, Innova IFA29 FibaPrint White Semi-Matt, Maob Colorado Fiber Satine, HM FineArt Baryta, that is just half of OBA containing paper in that category that I have the spectral plots for.


Off-topic: we could use a better term for whitening agents based on fluorescence. OBA, optical brightening agent is too vague as it doesn't mention fluorescence yet it describes the reflection/converted output of the fluorescent better with "brightening". FWA, fluorescent whitening agent doesn't describe the output correctly. At least for the stuff used in papers FBA would be better.

The differences should be really subtle, that's for sure, since you've checked the OBA checkbox. As you can imagine, the differences were more significant before GMB had provided that checkbox. PMP's OBA correction effects the Perceptual intent. Did you also make prints using other intents, especially Absolute Colorimetric? More real world testing is required. Linearization in different RIPs, for example, is worth testing. Profile creation in different applications is worth testing. Profiling different media is in order. You'll find that some situations call for one or the other. Being a color management consultant requires that you have both on hand and know which one will work best in what situations and why. It's a complex discussion, but for simple inkjet/driver profile creation, like what most here are interested in, one should focus on what software is being used to make the profile, more than the UV filtration since it won't make much of a difference.

Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta has more OBA aboard than this discussion suggests. More than many RC papers have. More than PhotoRag Bright White has.

I don't think that you need a higher OBA loaded paper than FAB for tests like that. If it doesn't work with FAB, the effect will not change significantly with another paper.

Hi scott

I did not check correct for optical brightners, and wanted one profile UV cut and another using no filter i1pro , therefore having two extremes. I was expecting to see a difference but i can't see any visual differences under all sorts of lighting, UV, day light and tungesten

Also used Relative Colormetric intent

Do you have measured data about OBA/FWA in FAB (or in any papers you mentioned above)? Otherwise it's like "discussion about nothing".
Did you compare i1Pro vs i1Pro UVcut in reality?

Here is the spectral reflectance chart taken from the profile ( measured data), both profiles were buit without correct for optical brightners checked.

You must have missed the link in the other messages:

To judge in what category of OBA use a paper falls you do not need a UV-cut spectrometer. What tells a lot is the spectral distribution of the print side reflectance. There is more than that in the link I gave.

And the UV-cut Spectrometer knows the reflectance below say 420 Nm that it can't measure :-)

I see, yes it's subtle. You are using the paper gray axis setting? Use an excellent evaluation image with a large greyscale ramp and view under daylight. Repeat the test on a paper with tons of OBAs for a more pronounced effect.
