SWOP G7 Calibration Kit
(pt_swopdigcalkit)
Facilitate reliable color information throughout your internal production process with the SWOP®
G7™ Calibration Kit.
PART I: Digital Data and Instruction CDs
SWOP 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 SWOP Characterization Data Set
ICC profiles have been created from the revised SWOP2006_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, SWOP 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 SWOP specifications, and how to maintain those specifications during production.
Prepress digital data exchange and CMYK standard colour image data (CMYK/SCID)
ISO SCID mages on the press form enable you to visually determine the match to SWOP Certified Proofs. Printing this digital press form is a critical ingredient to maintaining the G7™ calibration for your presses and proofing systems.
PART II SWOP Visual Reference
As of 2007, SWOP Proofs are produced to the numbers. But if feel you need a visual reference, the SWOP Visual Reference Kit can help you make the transition. You can choose a SWOP #3 sheet or the traditional SWOP #5 groundwood sheet produced by the manufacturer of your choice, certified to the numbers, to use as a visual reference proof.
