Abstract
AbstractThis study illustrates at‐line application of hyperspectral imaging in the visible range for quality control of large‐scale offset printing. In particular, the measurement stability of a competitive device is assessed and compared to traditional handheld and desktop spectrophotometers. The performance of the commercially available instruments was assessed based on collected spectra and their corresponding L*, a*, and b* values. The printing process was described by hyperspectral images (in visible range) of selected regions from template color fields acquired at 17 sampling occasions. Spectra constituting hyperspectral images were visualized and evaluated in the space of significant principal components obtained from the principal component analysis. Furthermore, confidence ellipses were constructed for each set of spectra characterizing a specific moment of the printing process. Comparing their mutual locations, shapes, orientations, and sizes enabled effective visualization of process variability and was more comprehensive regarding the classic approach based on information provided by desktop and handheld spectrometers.
