The YE0223 is designed for evaluation of the halftone reproduction of electronic cameras. Two 13-graduated counter current gray scales are arranged on a gray background (D = 0.75), the gray scales being graduated logarithmically. Related to the densities of the gray scales: gamma = 0.45, related to the transmission values (brightness): gamma = 2.2, that being exactly the reciprocal value of gamma = 0.45. The output signal of a optimally gamma-corrected camera yields two 13-gratuated counter current linear step signals.

The contrast range of the gray scales is 200 : 1.

The values of the 11-graduated gray scale are as follows:

 
Step Density Reflectance in %
1 0.05 89
2 0.13 74
3 0.21 62
4 0.30 50
5 0.40 40
6 0.51 31
7 0.63 23
8 0.78 17
9 0.95 11
10 1.15 7
11 1.41 4
12 1.77 2
13 2.35 0.5
 

The density of the white field between the gray scale is D = 0.05 (reflectance = 89 %).

FAQs About  Grayscale Charts

Record the L*a*b values of the sample and the reference with a calibrated spectrophotometer or colorimeter. Compute the difference in the color by use of ΔE. The lower the Delta E, the more accurate the result. The difference in energy, ΔE < 1, is generally assumed to be invisible to the eye.


 The five common gloss levels are:

1. Flat/Matte (0–10 GU)

2. Eggshell (10–25 GU)

3. Satin (26–40 GU)

4. Semi-gloss (41–70 GU)

High Gloss (71–100+ GU)
These levels vary slightly depending on industry and standards used.



Colorimeter calibration is indispensable for reliable quality control—ensuring measurement accuracy by compensating for component aging, environmental interference, and baseline drift. It standardizes data across devices/batches, maintains compliance with industry standards, and prevents costly rework from inaccurate color readings, making it critical for precision-driven industries like printing, food, plastics, textiles, paint and coatings.

A service is made up of tub replacement, light source recalibration, internal cleaning, verification of service and color certification retention so that all compliance color standards are retained. 


Common sources like D65, TL84, and CWF mimic daylight, store, home, and fluorescent lighting, and are used to provide conditions for dependable color comparison.


The accuracy of colors is determined by comparing the values of the colors (L*a*b*) of a sample with a standard reference sample using tools such as spectrophotometers. The variation is measured as ΔE. The smaller the value of ΔE, the more accurate, the nearer to the target color.
