How to measure Color Reflection Density?

Color Reflection Density can be measured by observing the reflected light through a filter in the wavelength band of light absorbed by  each ink color.

 

For example, when measuring the reflected density of Magenta ink, observe the reflected light through a Green filter of its complementary color.

 

            Ink Color      Filter Color

       ----------------------------------

               Cyan    à      Red

            Magenta  à    Green

              Yellow   à     Blue
