Printing standard light source

Standard printing light sources simulate daylight conditions to observe printed colors through stable illumination with specific color temperature and color rendering index. They are used in printing workshops and quality inspection areas to compare color consistency and avoid color difference misjudgments caused by lighting variations.
Selection
When selecting, pay attention to fluorescent tubes with a color temperature of 5000K and a color rendering index above 90, and check for uniformity of illumination. The environment should be neutral gray to avoid reflections. Regularly calibrate light source attenuation using standard color charts, and replace the tubes every two years based on usage frequency.
