Color Essentials, Volume 2

Author: Gary G. Field

Subtitle: Color and Quality for the Graphic Arts and Scienes

What does "color quality" mean when making judgments of printed color reproductions? Color Essentials, Volume 2, continues the series designed to help develop one’s color quality judgment and analysis skills through another set of fourteen essays on color principles as they relate to everyday graphic arts color reproduction issues.
