Liz, you don't have to do anything special about measuring inks that are
cured by UV. They don't fundamentally behave differently than the regular
solvent-based or water-based inks as far as color measurement is concerned.
The difference with your UV inks is that you have UV lamps drying them up
instantly. Other than that, you measure them just as you would measure any
other surface colors. You're not going to have an easier or a more difficult
time with UV inks. As long as they don't fluoresce, like Ray mentioned.
