GRACoL G7 Digital Calibration Kit
(pt_gracoldigcalkit)
Facilitate reliable color information throughout your internal production process with the GRACoL® G7™ Calibration Kit.
PART I: Digital Data and Instructions CDs
GRACoL Digital Press Form in PDF and InDesign Formats.
Facilitate press and proofing system calibration by printing the GRACoL/SWOP Digital Press Form. You can measure the targets from this form to match the characterization data sets, measure gray balance, and create Neutral Print Density Curves for Black and the CMY 3-tone gray.
ICC Profile and GRACoL Characterization Data Set
ICC profiles have been created from the revised GRACoL2006_Coated1.txt datasets. These are generic 16-bit Version 2 ICC profiles as required for a PFD version 1.4 built with X-Rite's MonacoPROFILER. X-Rite maintains the ownership and copyright for the profiles but has granted limited use. These profiles can be used for creating separation files for, or simulating, GRACoL standard print conditions. We recommend each user create profiles for their own printing environment.
Instructions Calibrating, Printing and Proofing by the G7™ Method
This document describes how to calibrate a printing press, proofing system, or any CMYK imaging device to the new GRACoL 7 specifications, and how to maintain those specifications during production.
Prepress digital data exchange and CMYK standard colour image data (CMYK/SCID)
ISO SCID images on the press form enable you to visually determine the match to GRACoL Certified Proofs. Printing this digital press form is a critical ingredient to maintaining the G7™ calibration for your presses and proofing systems.
PART II GRACoL Visual Reference
As of 2007, GRACoL Proofs are produced to the numbers. But if you feel the need for a visual reference, the GRACoL Visual Reference Kit can help you make the transition.
