Why viewing conditions matter
Assessing a print under artificial light and in the wrong ambient conditions can cause you to see the colours in the image incorrectly. Illumination temperature (°k) and quality (CRI) affect the actual colour you see. This can range from a neutral grey or skin tone looking warmer or cooler under different lighting, to a pair of colours appearing identical under one illumination and considerably different to each other under another.
GrafiLite – Twin Pack – Desktop daylight simulation
View prints in natural daylight indoors with the GrafiLite – Twin Pack. Standard studio lighting can be harsh and over-bright, distorting the appearance of your prints. Using OTT-LITE Technology, the GrafiLite simulates natural light, allowing you to view prints clearly and assess colour differences accurately.
GrafiLite Mode – A stylish source of natural lighting
Assess colour in the accuracy of natural light with the GrafiLite Mode. Colour appearance can become distorted under artificial home or office lighting, and surrounding colours may bias your colour perception. The GrafiLite Mode produces high-definition simulated natural light, allowing you to assess colour differences accurately and clearly, day or night.

Quality is Standard
The ISO standard 3664:2000 stipulates the following viewing conditions for the evaluation of colour prints and their reproductions:
chromaticity coordinates of the reference illuminant x=0,347 und y=0,359 which corresponds to approx. 5000° Kelvin
colour temperature D 50 corresponds to approx. 5000 K

As we all know, we cannot view the color of an object without the light source, because colors do not exist in the absence of light. Natural light is the most ideal light source for color viewing. However, restricted by time and place, we cannot engage in color matching under natural light all the time. [...]
