Distinctness of image
Reflected Image Quality (RIQ) vs. DOI
DOI is not sensitive to low amounts of orange peel on highest quality surfaces.RIQ has more proportionate response to orange peel on a wider range of surface finishes.
RIQ works well in differentiating low gloss surfaces with different specular/diffuse components.
Parameters that affect RIQ
- Substrate alignment
- Coating formulation
- Substrate
- Application technique
