Hello Michael,
The inks used for the Altona Test Suite Application Kit fully comply to
the ISO 2846 standard.
In addition the relevant dot gain curves have been carefully adjusted
along the whole range from 0 to 100 percent.
However - The major issue to match the reference prints will be to
carefully adjust the tonal curves. All relevant information about the
respective aim values and tolerances can be found in the documentation
that comes with the kit.
Best regards,
Florian
... who was heavily involved in the production, documentation and qa of
the kit.

Hello,
Regarding the Altona Test Suite Application Kit. I have been given
conflicting opinions on whether the inks used are based on ISO 2846-1
or are "Euroscale" ink sets. I also am unfamiliar with the aims of ISO
12647. We are interested in obtaining the Altona kit, but are wondering
if our press, would be able to run to the specs with our current inks.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
