An updated version of GMG ProofControl quality assurance tool now includes support for the more tightly defined, D50 based, ISO 13655:2009 standard. Using a measurement device that supports M0 (no UV cut), M1 (No UV cut, D50) and M2 (parameters when creating either profiles adhering to international standards such UV Cut) filter settings, such as the X-Rite EyeOne Pro2, users can select the appropriate measurement as ISO 13655, or to the user's own unique print standard.
GMG ProofControl v2.1 also includes presets for the new SWOP and GRACoL standards SWOP2013C3 (CRPC5), SWOP2013C5, GRACoL2013 coated (CRPC6) and GRACoL2013 uncoated (CRPC3). These new standards profiles are based on ISO/DIS 15339-2 with its specification of a limited number of Characterized Reference Printing Conditions (CRPC), which are device-and-process-agnostic colour space references requiring M1 measurement conditions (ISO 13655:2009).
"GMG ProofControl allows print service providers to provide guaranteed and quality-checked output standard for their digital colour proof production, regardless of device, standards criteria or print process," says Birgit Plautz, GMG's manager technical Services. "Continuing technological advances allow the industry to continue to refine and develop ever more accurate and definable output standards.
"ProofControl v2.1 embraces these new standards and measurement conditions, allowing our customers to offer best-in-class digital output to the end-user, supported with a quality assurance certificate that confirms the expected output tolerances."
