New Tile Standards Developed
History of these Tile Sets
Early in 2006 Mt. Baker Research (MBR) began developing new transfer standards produced
from commercial monochromatic ceramic tiles. MBR has evaluated the tiles distributed in
North America by more than 20 international manufacturers. Avian Technologies supported
the project by measuring reflectance factors for the glossy tiles. Dr. Jack Root of MBR
performed the background research, analyzed and documented the reflectance factor data,
and developed the procedures used to manufacture the standards and currently oversees
production.
Overview of Sets
We offer three sets of glossy standards from this line: Basic colors, Special Colors, and
Gray and Pastel Colors. All boxed sets contain 16 tiles, mounted in Delrin® holders, each
having an optical surface of 50mm x 50 mm.
All sets include a booklet with ‘typical’ (8:d) reflectance
factor data. Calibration is available, traceable to NRC/NIST, for both hemispherical
(8:d) and bidirectional (45:0) geometries. Please contact Avian Technologies
for the cost of calibration.
These sets are a less expensive, yet more expansive, alternative to CERAM tile sets, also
offered by Avian Technologies. Please contact us to determine which set best meets your needs.
For a complete description of the history and development of these tiles, as well as
plots of spectral reflectance data for all three sets, download this PDF.

Set #1 — Basic Colors
The basic colors set parallels the CERAM Series II tiles set with a few changes.
Both a white and a black tile are included, as well as a difference blue and a difference
yellow pair in place of the CERAM difference green pair. The set contains sixteen tiles: 5 achromatics
and 11 chromatics.
Part No. ATBC-16-02-u (uncalibrated)
Part No. ATBC-16-02-c (calibrated)

Set #2 — Grey Scale and Pastel Colors
The grey scale and pastel colors set extends the range of the basic color set by
adding a wide range of grey scale, including a difference 50% grey pair. In addition,
the set includes a wide range of pastel tiles, which are based on the more saturated
colors in the basic colors set. This set contains 7 achromatic tiles and 9 chromatic
tiles.
Part No. ATGP-16-02-u (uncalibrated)
Part No. ATGP-16-02-c (calibrated)

Set #3 — Special Colors
The special colors set offers a wider gamut of saturated colors to enhance the
basic colors set. These tiles offer colors that are not normally found in color tile sets,
including a deep violet difference pair and a deep brown. This set is especially strong
in the purple to violet range. It aims to extend the gamut of the CERAM Series II set.
