  • There's two parts:

    1. The Printshop will use CMYK in combination to macroscopically approximate the same spectra as the skin spectra. At a Microscopic level- well above particle interaction level- this looks like:

      Which means that you are probably not going to get the same reflectance properties as skin, where pigmentation is a concentration dependent deposition of a single pigment, with a single spectra.

    2. Diffuse reflectance and scattering. (essentially a change in amount reflected due to multiple biological molecules interactions)

    Couple them, and you don't have as close an analogue to skin as you might hope.

  • Right. So a printed brown hand bears no relation to a real brown hand - seriously
    that would never have occurred to me - every day is indeed a schooldays. Thank you.
