Abstract

The work aims to determine the "perceivable" and "unacceptable" color difference thresholds for holographic prints with light pillars and establish their color quality evaluation methods. The Muton ValueJet 628MP inkjet printer was employed to produce 465 pairs of samples with average color difference (ΔE^*_ab) of 2.23, surrounding the nine CIE recommended color centers and using the holographic paper as the substrate. Seventeen observers with normal color vision were organized to carry out the color difference evaluation experiments. According to the CIELAB and CIEDE2000 formula, the "perceptible" color difference threshold of holographic prints with light pillars was determined to be 0.92 and 0.31, while the "unacceptable" color difference threshold was 3.10 and 2.16_. When it comes to the evaluation of "unacceptable" color difference, the color difference thresholds can be used as the primary indicators, and then, for blue and purple samples, the "unacceptable" hue difference threshold can be set to improve the consistency between the calculated color difference and the visual color difference.

Key words

visual optics / holographic prints with light pillars / perceivable color difference threshold / unacceptable color difference threshold / hue difference threshold
