RGB Color Theory Applied to Print 

- 16:38 Misconception about how cyan ink works; it does not function as a simple combination of blue and green light. *Simulating Ink Behavior* - 17:17 Using acetate filters to simulate the behavior of cyan and yellow inks. - 17:56 Demonstrating that mixing cyan and yellow filters produces green, similar to how inks would mix. *Understanding Color Theory and Ink Properties* - 18:18 Acetate filters act like ink, combining to create cyan, magenta, and secondary colors such as blue, red, and green. - 18:53 Acetate filters serve as a reasonable simulation for how printing ink behaves. - 19:01 Discusses the difference between using paint and filters; paint covers while filters, being transparent, allow for the creation of secondary colors. *Ink Interaction with Light and Paper* - 20:03 Provides a model of how cyan ink on paper absorbs red light while allowing green and blue light to reflect off the paper, not the ink itself. - 21:16 Emphasizes the importance of paper color in the printing process, calling it the "fifth color." *Debunking Myths Around Ink and Color Printing* - 22:40 Introduces the myth that printing an image is easy, explaining the complexity behind creating colors. - 23:14 Describes a simple color matching approach for printing which results in posterization, not ideal for detailed images. *Introduction to Halftoning in Printing* - 24:10 Explains the process of halftoning, adjusting the size of the dots instead of ink thickness to create the appearance of a color gradient. - 25:29 Uses an image of a puppy to illustrate how varying dot sizes in halftoning can create detailed images. *The Process of Color Separation* - 26:41 Shows how software creates separate cyan, magenta, yellow, and black plates to prepare for printing. - 28:01 Introduces the concept of a color space using a red-green-blue (RGB) color space cube to understand color mixing in software. *Converting RGB Images to CMYK for Printing* - 30:08 Describes the conversion process from an RGB image to CMYK, explaining that it involves inverting the color spaces and subtracting colors from white. - 31:02 Highlights the necessity of black ink in printing for cost efficiency, improved darkness, and registration accuracy. *Exploring Yellow Ink and Blue Light Absorption* - 33:19 Addresses the myth that yellow ink absorbs all blue light, showing that multiple layers of yellow acetate create a richer yellow, indicating some blue light passes through. - 34:43 Concludes that the color output depends on the thickness of the ink applied during printing. *Demonstration with Light Measurement and Beer* - 35:27 Sets up an experiment to measure light through beer, calibrating the light meter to measure in "banana units" with plans to measure the light after it passes through the beer. *Understanding Light Absorption and Transmission* - 36:24 Describes a hypothetical scenario where 100 photons go through a "beer" (acting as a light filter), and only 90 photons pass through, losing 10 photons to absorption. - 37:00 Introduces the idea of a second layer of "beer," questioning how many photons would emerge after the second layer. *The Beer-Lambert Law* - 37:13 Poses a question about light transmission after a second layer of "beer," with an initial assumption of 100 photons and a 10% loss after the first layer. - 37:29 Explains that if 81 photons are expected after the second layer, this is due to a 10% loss from the remaining 90 photons. - 38:00 Continues the pattern for subsequent layers, indicating a diminishing number of photons with each layer of "beer." - 38:25 Assures that no actual beer was wasted in the demonstration. *Applying the Concept to Ink Layers* - 38:47 Jokes about the type of beer used in the experiment and transitions to a serious point about the Beer-Lambert Law. - 38:55 Explains the Beer-Lambert Law and its relevance to calculating light absorption with multiple ink layers. - 39:03 Uses an example of cyan ink on paper with red light to demonstrate the law, where cyan absorbs red light. - 39:49 Assigns an arbitrary value for red light absorption by cyan ink and reflects on the light that bounces off the paper. - 40:32 Details how the cyan ink absorption affects light reflectance, with each pass through the ink absorbing about half the light. - 41:06 Shows the calculation of reflectance involving transmittance and paper reflectance. - 41:19 Discusses the effect of two layers of ink on the reflectance of red light, further demonstrating the exponential decrease in light transmission. - 42:05 Introduces a density value for two layers of ink based on the calculation of light transmission and reflection. *Generalizing Beer's Law* - 42:34 Provides the general equation for Beer's Law applied to multiple ink layers and how film thickness influences light reflectance. - 42:46 Generalizes the equation to accommodate non-integer thickness values. - 42:59 Explains that the reflectance of paper with ink exponentially decays with increased ink thickness. *Ink Versus Paint and Practical Applications* - 43:13 Highlights the difference between ink and paint, noting that ink color varies with the amount applied to the paper. - 43:25 Discusses the pros and cons of ink application, allowing for adjustments in color intensity but also requiring precise control of ink volume. - 43:49 Concludes the presentation and refers to additional resources, including a PowerPoint on Canvas, a book on RGB color theory, and blog posts about color wheels and primary colors. - 44:28 Ends the video, mentioning "one Beer's law," and wishes the audience a good day.

Hmmm... I see that the sound is only recorded on one channel. I will try to fix that in the MP4 and re-upload.

I fixed this, but RU-vid won't let me just replace the video. I have uploaded the version with better audio here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZGE_G9WMFWA.htmlsi=V9zIWVIyF2Hw_n4X
