Abstract

Modern systems of visual communications, which reproduction processes of graphic technology are also based on, are permanently being improved with new findings connected with the research results of certain visual effects. In this paper, the influence of certain standard light sources to the intensity of the neon colours spreading effect in the process of graphic reproduction was studied. Also, the additive primary colours and subtractive synthesis effect in design of test samples that are based on so-called Ehrenstein model were analyzed. Test samples were printed on multiple coated glossy art paper through the machine calibrated for digital printing on the principle of liquid toner. By using visual assessment technique simultaneous binocular reconciliation evaluation of test samples was carried out. The research results prove the effect of different standard light sources and coloured characteristics of the stimulus on the intensity of neon colour spreading effect. Recommendations to expand the application of the neon colours spreading effect in order to achieve efficient designs of graphic templates in contemporary processes of graphic reproduction are proposed.
