Abstract
New distinctness-of-image gloss meter has been constructed. In this experiment, the distinctness-of-image on samples are obtained by measuring the ratio of the intensity of specularly reflected light to the-intensity of diffusely reflected light, the angle between them being about 1°.
The distinctness-of-image gloss of high gloss paints which have almost the same values of the specular gloss is investigated.
The ranking of these samples determined by the obtained results with this new method shows fair agreement with the visual ranking by 15 observers.
