spectrophotometer,
under the following conditions: d/8
measurement geometry, measurement wavelength range
from 400 nm to 700 nm, measurement area of 12 mm in
diameter, and SIN-specular included measurement
mode. XYZ, CIE L*a*b*, C*, h CIELAB 1976 and
colour strength values (K/S ) were calculated using
Datacolor Datamaster software. The conditioned thermal
and UV-cured samples were subjected to stiffness
measurements which were evaluated according to the
DIN 53362 method. The colour fastness to washing, dry
and wet rubbing of the thermal and UV-cured samples
were determined by the conventional methods SIST EN
20105-C03:1996 and SIST EN ISO 105-X12:2002,
respectively. The absorption characteristics of the
dissolved photoinitiator, as well as pigment dispersion,
were measured using a Varian Cary 50 UV/VIS
spectrophotometer in the wavelength range 200 nme
700 nm.
