The effect of clarification is to increase color saturation of reflective surfaces under a light source with a highly pronounced unevenness of spectral power distribution. The paper describes the effect and assesses the possibility of its controlled use in reproduction technologies. An experiment to obtain two prints from one original, which would be perceived visually identical being placed in different areas of the light source, is held. It is found that the standard method of profiling using widespread equipment gives satisfactory results. Satisfactory tone gradation and color match of prints placed in the respective areas of illumination are observed.
