Session 4 - Printer, Press and Proofer Profiling

Producing a hardcopy color proof that matches the customers expectations and the press is a major concern to commercial print shops. This session looks at the process of linearization and profiling a printer or proofer using common targets such as ECI 2002 and IT8.7/3.

The session will clearly explain the steps involved in making a printer profile and demonstrate how a profile can be used to produce that all important hardcopy color proof. This session will provide practical advice on issues such as black generation, relative colorimetric rendering intent and UV fluorescence in printing papers. This session will also describe how to use reference printing conditions in typical workflows, in particular we will look at SWOP (TR001) and GRACoL (DTR004).
