Preliminary communicationThe paper presents the results of a research of the background visual effect of crispening depending on background lightness. A research on graphic reproductions with specifically designed solutions that involve the mentioned effect was conducted. Reproductions were designed through the variations of four different types of background lightness of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% RTV (secondary stimuli), on which there are internal rectangles of lightness of 45%, 50% and 55% RTV (primary stimuli). The visual experiment was carried out through the use of the technique of simultaneous binocular harmonization with 10 respondents. The ANOVA with repeated measures revealed statistical differences between the arithmetic means of variations in lightness for four variations of the background in all three primary stimuli. Further post-hoc analysis by Fisher identified the groups that mutually differ. The results indicate the regularities to which the effect of crispening is subjected in the selected graphic medium. The research was conducted with the aim of standardizing the printing process during the appearance of crispening effect in real conditions of graphic production.

Intenzitet pozadinskog vizulnog efekta nabiranja ovisno o svjetlini pozadinePrethodno priopćenje U radu su prezentirani rezultati istraživanja pozadinskog vizualnog efekta nabiranja u ovisnosti o svjetlini pozadine. Provedeno je istraživanje na grafičkim reprodukcijama sa specifično konstruiranim rješenjima u kojima se javlja spomenuti efekt. Reprodukcije su dizajnirane putem varijacija 4 različite pozadine svjetlina 25%, 50%, 75% i 100% RTV (sekundarni stimulus), na kojima se nalaze unutrašnji pravokutnici svjetlina 45%, 50% i 55% RTV (primarni stimulusi). Vizualni eksperiment proveden je upotrebom tehnike simultanog binokularnog usuglašavanja sa 10 ispitanika. ANOVOM s ponovljenim mjerenjima utvrđene su statističke razlike među aritmetičkim sredinama odstupanja u svjetlinama za 4 varijacije pozadine i to kod sva 3 primarna stimulusa. Daljnjom post-hoc analizom po Fisheru identificirane su grupe koje se međusobno razlikuju. Dobiveni rezultati ukazuju na pravilnosti kojima se podvrgava efekt nabiranja u izabranom grafičkom mediju. Istraživanje je provedeno s ciljem standardizacije tiskarskog procesa prilikom pojavnosti efekta nabiranja u realnim uvjetima grafičke proizvodnje.
