I just spoke to John Elder regarding the slight color variation in the red ovals. John stated that it was not a issue and that our CA accounts need not be concerned with it. He said that there will always be a light color variation in the red ovals with digital printing but will not affect the reading.

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.

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.

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?
