Then testing through many units (preferably all the units) is about the only way to tell. The color densitometer has an aperture opening (1/16" x 3/16") that is much larger than an oval line thickness, so we would not be able to get an accurate reading from an oval line. The color densitometer is only useful for looking at a patch of color larger than the aperture, like a filled in oval or the background color over the whole ballot. Sincerely, Ian S.

Speaking with the person directly at the warehouse, the report is more of slight variation of color in the red ovals. Testing thru the AccuVote may be the only way to confirm that ovals are oK. Any other ideas? The customer does not have a "reflective densitometer" to determine exactly what pantone color variation we have here. ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Knecht To: Global Support Cc: John Elder Sent: Monday, February 11, 2002 11:01 AM Subject: Ballot Colors shifting Ryan called me from Placer a few minutes ago. The color tint is varying significantly on the ballots. This is not a surprise, as John Elder and I discussed this on Thursday of last week. What is a surprise is that the red oval color is shifting and includes red, orange, and pink. It is critical that we know that the oval color is invisible to the AccuVote. Several million ballots are being printed in California. If there is a pantone shift occuring in the red, pink, orange spectrum, could we potentially have problems?
