When scanning an area of an original that is solid pink to reproduce that area on the copy what will the reflected light from the original be comprised of?

Answer 1

When scanning an area of an original that is solid pink, the reflected light from that area will primarily consist of red and blue wavelengths, as pink is a combination of red and white light. The white light is made up of all colors, but when it reflects off the pink surface, it loses the green wavelengths, resulting in the perception of pink. Therefore, the scanner will capture light that reflects these red and blue components, which will be reproduced in the copy.
