以下、本発明に係る光沢感の評価方法につき好ましい実施形態に基づき詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, the glossiness evaluation method according to the present invention will be described in detail based on preferred embodiments.

本発明の光沢感の評価方法は、既述の通り、下記式で得られる算出値を光沢感覚値として指標することを特徴とする。
(光沢感覚値)=[正反射(限幅)光沢度/基準光沢度]2×(写像性値/基準写像性値)
As described above, the glossiness evaluation method of the present invention is characterized in that a calculated value obtained by the following formula is indexed as a glossiness value.
(Glossy sensation value) = [regular reflection (limited width) glossiness / reference glossiness] 2 × (image clarity value / standard image clarity value)

ここで、正反射(限幅)光沢度は、既述の通り、規定された入射角で規定された開き角の光束を評価対象面に入射し、鏡面反射方向に反射する規定の開き角の光束を受光器で測定したときの、入射光に対する反射光の相対強度である。正反射(限幅)光沢度の好ましい態様としては、次に示す測定により得られる値である。   Here, the specular reflection (limited width) glossiness is, as described above, a light beam having a specified opening angle that is incident on a surface to be evaluated and reflected in the specular reflection direction by entering a light beam having a specified opening angle at a specified incident angle. This is the relative intensity of the reflected light with respect to the incident light when the light beam is measured by a light receiver. A preferred embodiment of the regular reflection (limited width) glossiness is a value obtained by the following measurement.

即ち、好ましい態様では、光源に12V50Wのハロゲンランプ、フィルターにND−10を用い、感度500、煽り角度0度において、入射角45度で幅1mmのスリットから入射光を評価対象物に対して照射したときに、該評価対象物により反射されて幅1.5mmのスリットから放出された反射光について、反射角45度で標準鏡面板の光沢度が42.5となるように光源に印加する電圧を調整したとき、反射角度42度から48度の範囲で、相対値として測定される反射光強度各値のうちの最高値である。ここでいう標準板とは、屈折率1.519の黒色光学ガラスをいう。かかる光沢度は、図1に示すような測定方法によって測定される。尚、図1は、正反射(限幅)光沢度の測定法について説明するための概略図である。正反射(限幅)光沢度は、村上色彩技術研究所のGP−200型で、上記測定条件において得ることができる。   That is, in a preferred embodiment, a 12V50W halogen lamp is used as the light source, ND-10 is used as the filter, and the evaluation object is irradiated with incident light from a slit having an incident angle of 45 degrees and a width of 1 mm at a turning angle of 0 degrees. The voltage applied to the light source so that the reflected light reflected from the evaluation object and emitted from the slit having a width of 1.5 mm has a reflection angle of 45 degrees and the glossiness of the standard mirror plate is 42.5. Is the highest value among the reflected light intensity values measured as relative values in the range of the reflection angle from 42 degrees to 48 degrees. The standard plate here means black optical glass having a refractive index of 1.519. Such glossiness is measured by a measuring method as shown in FIG. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining a method of measuring regular reflection (limited width) glossiness. The specular reflection (limited width) glossiness can be obtained with the GP-200 model of Murakami Color Research Laboratory under the above measurement conditions.

また、写像性値は、既述の通り、対象となる塗装面等に物体が映ったときの像が、どの程度鮮明にひずみなく映し出されるかの尺度であり、例えば、JIS H8686やJIS K7105等で規定されている値である。写像性値の好ましい態様としては、次に示す測定により得られる値である。   Further, as described above, the image clarity value is a measure of how clearly an image when an object is reflected on a target painted surface or the like is projected without distortion. For example, JIS H8686, JIS K7105, etc. This is the value specified in. A preferred embodiment of the image clarity value is a value obtained by the following measurement.

即ち、好ましい態様では、図2に示すように、光源1に6V、0.35Aのスリットランプを使用し、該光源1からスリット及びレンズを介して、フィルターなし、煽り角度0度において、入射角45度で導かれる入射光3を評価対象物2に照射したときに、該評価対象物2より反射角45度で放出された光(反射光)4がレンズを介して、図中の矢印方向に移動する2mm幅の光学くし5を通過した際の受光器6が検知する受光量のゆらぎを、下記式に導入して得られた値である。
(写像性値(%))=(受光量の最大値−受光量の最小値)/(受光量の最大値+受光量の最小値)×100
That is, in a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a slit lamp of 6V, 0.35A is used as the light source 1, and no incident light is incident on the light source 1 through the slit and lens at a turning angle of 0 degree. When the evaluation object 2 is irradiated with incident light 3 guided at 45 degrees, light (reflected light) 4 emitted from the evaluation object 2 at a reflection angle of 45 degrees passes through the lens in the direction of the arrow in the figure. This is a value obtained by introducing the fluctuation of the amount of received light detected by the light receiver 6 when it passes through the optical comb 5 having a width of 2 mm moving to the following equation.
(Image clarity value (%)) = (maximum received light amount−minimum received light amount) / (maximum received light amount + minimum received light amount) × 100

ここで受光器6が検知した受光量のゆらぎは、感度調整器7のつまみ等を操作して適宜感度を調整することで波形として記録計8に記憶され、これにより受光量の最大値及び最小値を導出できる。   Here, the fluctuation in the amount of light received detected by the light receiver 6 is stored in the recorder 8 as a waveform by adjusting the sensitivity appropriately by operating the knob of the sensitivity adjuster 7, thereby the maximum and minimum values of the light received. A value can be derived.

尚、図2は、写像性値の測定法について説明するための概略図であって、郵政研究所月報2003年1月号の第19頁、図22に記載の機器測定の装置例(写像性測定装置)を参考にしたものである。写像性値は、スガ試験機株式会社のICP−IT型で、上記測定条件において得られた値を採用できる。   FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram for explaining a method for measuring the image clarity value, and is an example of an apparatus measurement device (image clarity) shown in FIG. 22, page 19 of the January 2003 issue of the Postal Service Institute. (Measurement device). As the image clarity value, an ICP-IT type manufactured by Suga Test Instruments Co., Ltd. can be used, and the value obtained under the above measurement conditions can be adopted.

また、基準光沢度は、特に制限されることなく評価対象物の種類に応じて適宜所望の値を採用できるが、42.5以上の数値を使用するのが好ましい。基準光沢度42.5は、標準鏡面板の光沢度に相当する。また、基準光沢度として、60度の全幅光沢度の2分の1の値も、好ましく使用される。   Further, the reference glossiness is not particularly limited, and a desired value can be appropriately adopted according to the type of the evaluation object, but it is preferable to use a numerical value of 42.5 or more. The reference glossiness 42.5 corresponds to the glossiness of the standard mirror plate. As the reference glossiness, a value that is half of the full-width glossiness of 60 degrees is also preferably used.

また、基準写像性値は、特に制限されることなく評価対象物の種類に応じて適宜所望の値を採用できるが、50以上の数値を使用するのが好ましい。基準写像性値50は、標準鏡面板の写像性値に相当する。   Further, the reference image clarity value is not particularly limited, and a desired value can be appropriately adopted according to the type of the evaluation object, but it is preferable to use a numerical value of 50 or more. The standard image clarity value 50 corresponds to the image clarity value of the standard mirror plate.

次に、本発明に係る光沢感の評価方法を適用するための評価対象物について詳述する。評価対象物としては、人の目視により光沢感を有すると認識できる対象物である限り特に制限されないが、例えば、顔料又は染料を含むインク組成物(顔料インク、染料インク)によりインクジェット記録した記録画像、該記録画像を含む記録物や、銀塩写真等が挙げられる。   Next, the evaluation object for applying the glossiness evaluation method according to the present invention will be described in detail.

At this time, a halogen lamp of 12V50W was used as the light source, and ND-10 was used as the filter, and the voltage applied to the light source was adjusted so that the glossiness of the standard plate was 42.5. The glossiness of the output product is the highest value among the reflected light intensity values measured under the measurement conditions. The reproduction error was ± 2.0 or less.

写像性値:
評価は、スガ試験機製の写像性測定器ICM−1Tを用いて、標準鏡面板でゲイン調整をし、各出力物を2回測定した。入射光と反射光は共に45度に設定した。
Image clarity value:
The evaluation was performed by adjusting the gain with a standard mirror surface plate using a image clarity measuring device ICM-1T manufactured by Suga Test Instruments, and measuring each output twice. Both incident light and reflected light were set to 45 degrees.

また、測定器の入射光と反射光の進行方向に対して、評価対象物が記録物の場合には、インクジェットヘッドの走査方向に直行するように、記録物をサンプルホルダーにセットした(図3B参照)。   Further, when the object to be evaluated is a recorded material with respect to the traveling direction of the incident light and the reflected light of the measuring instrument, the recorded material is set in the sample holder so as to go straight in the scanning direction of the inkjet head (FIG. 3B). reference).

図2に示す装置により受光量の強度を測定し、以下の式に基づいて写像性値を計算した。
(写像性値(%))=(受光量の最大値−受光量の最小値)/(受光量の最大値+受光量の最小値)×100
The intensity of the amount of received light was measured by the apparatus shown in FIG. 2, and the image clarity value was calculated based on the following equation.
(Image clarity value (%)) = (maximum received light amount−minimum received light amount) / (maximum received light amount + minimum received light amount) × 100
