The aim of the research was to to evaluate the quality of illuminant metamerism by using Colour rendering index through similar paintings and half-tone reproduction images within the graphic industry. Employing the methodology of visual perception and testing conducted by standard observers, the study scrutinises how different colour techniques of paintings respond to diverse light sources under standardised conditions. This investigation is pivotal for understanding the chromatic fidelity and consistency of paintings and their reproduction with half-tone colours, by measuring the grey balance field, for all images. To find the most suitable light source and to complete the colour quality, the Osram LED light at 3000 K, 4000 K, and 6500 K is used. The resulting index could be deceptive in cases of significant disparities. The American IES TM-30-18 colour rendering index (CRI) metric, quantifies illumination metamerism's ability to faithfully depict natural colours. At every stage (R1–R15), the average colour reproduction CRI must be more than 90.

Flexographic technology usage is increasing in recent years. Predicted growth in the technology usage intensifies the demand for improved quality. It is expected that flexographic printing will achieve greater results than ever before. Since this technique is used in the printing of shrink sleeve packaging, it is imperative to meet the technical and economic requirements of the shrink sleeve product. This is primarily to ensure gliding of the white printing material. The amount of white should be as small as possible, making the sliding of the material optimal and the quality of the print better. Therefore, the quality of the printing was measured by changing the conditions of slippage and white color. This research has established a correlation between the thickness of the white layer and the reduction of print quality over thin lines.
