Patent ID: 8506086

Claim:
A device for representing surface colors for simulating print results through a screen, comprising at least one light source and a projection surface, wherein the base colors are generated from white light through filters from surface colors and the mixed colors are generated through subtractive color mixing, preferably through reflexive color filters, wherein the base colors are formed through reflection of preferably white light on color surfaces, in particular on print substrates imprinted with print colors, wherein mixed colors are generated from the base colors of the image through subtractive color mixing or the surface colors are created through transmissive filter glasses, or filter foils, wherein mixed colors are formed from the base colors through subtractive color mixing, wherein the image is projected onto a preferably black colored glass or plastic surface from behind or wherein the image is projected from the front onto a preferably white projection surface, and wherein the subtractive color mixing is preferably performed for each pixel by itself, or in pixel groups, in particular in lines.
