Answer any five questions. :
1. a) What are the purpose of using mark ?
b) Draw the block diagram of direct color separation and describe how the color correction and contrast correction is done by using two marks in the process ? 5+15=20
2. a) Deduce Modified Yule-Nielson equation.
b) Using the above-mentioned equation, find out the reflection density of a cyan print having 55% dot area. The transmittance of ink is 19%, paper reflectance 92%, internal reflectance 20% and first surface reflection is 4%. 15+5=20
3. The densities of a set of solid color patches are given in Table 1.
a) Identify the cyan, magenta and yellow patch from patch 1, 2, and 3.
b) Deduce marking equation.
c) Find out the amount of cyan, magenta and yellow ink (in term of density) for a particular patch where the original densities are Dr = 0.96, Dg = 1.21 and Db = 0.42. Use the data of solid patches from Table 1.
d) What is the color of the patch. 2+10+6+2=20

7. The curves of absorption and scattering for carbon black, titanium dioxide and two yellow pigments are given in
a) Define Kubelka-Munk theory of color mixing.
b) Explain why Carbon Black appears yellowish in masstone.
c) Explain why Titanium dioxide appears yellowish in masstone.
d) Why the mixture of Carbon Black and Titanium dioxide appear Bluish ?
e) Why chrome yellow is brighter than Flavanthrone Yellow?
f) If 20% Carbon Black is mixed with 80% Flavanthrone Yellow, what will be the resultant color ? 4+2+2+2+4+6=20
