Calibration to Appearance: A New Approach to Printing Calibration

From: GATFWORLD | Date: December 1, 2005| Author: | Copyright information

"Calibration to appearance" is a new way to calibrate your printing process. It is much faster and more accurate than traditional methods. It structures your printing to match a predetermined "look." It enables you to choose a "favored" color proof and then setup your printing to visually match that proof, with simple tone curves. It has been demonstrated to shorten makereadies and present an efficient way to visually match an uncommon supplied proof.

Traditional calibration methods use density measurement of individual CMYK tone scales to match printing to proof. Solid ink density (SID), ...
