Hello, list-
I'm working with a print buyer to set up a system for monitoring the
quality of proofs they receive from their outside prepress suppliers.
We are considering use of the UGRA/FOGRA Media Wedge. What software
is available to measure and analyze proofs? We'd like each vendor to
maintain a run chart of their proofs, and be able to access
measurements of a particular proof. We'd also like to attach some
sort of verification printout to each proof.

basICColor catch with the control option will do the job. You can
automate the job for your needs, so that one click will take you to
the actual measurement. Thresholds are predefined but editable, there
is an option of a second (e.g. customer) threshold. After measuring,
the analysis will come up automatically with "traffic light"
indicators – red: standard threshold exceeded, amber: customer
threshold exceeded, green all thresholds met. All 4 Ugra/fogra
criteria – Overlall DeltaE, max. DeltaE, primaries´ DeltaE and paper
white will be checked, additional criteria can be defined (e.g. grey
balance). Reports can be saved in pdf and labels can be printed. Many
instruments supported, any target can be used for QC, ICC-profiles
can be used as reference besides the standard reference files or your
own measurement if you want to compare a proof with a print or so.
Download from www.basICColor.de, 14 days trial period through oonline
registration.

Hi Bill,
You can download and test proofSIGN. There is a 30day fully functioning
version available here.
https://www.bodoni.co.uk/proofsign.php?proofsignserial=demo
It works with a GretagMacbeth Eye-One. proofSIGN is a fast way of testing
proofs meet any standard you set. It will give you on-screen pass/fail with
the main details, prints to any label printer and provide a detailed pdf
report.
proofSIGN allows you to test your proof against the ISO standard profiles or
any other CMYK profile using FOGRA media wedge, if you have one, or
proofSIGN's own control strip.
Please try it.

Hi list,
The only other major ones I see being overlooked so far are EFI & Colorbus.
Both will scan with most spectros and directly print a verification
certificate to a small label printer to be attached to the proof.

Bill,
You should take a look at the proof certification solutions offered
by ColorMetrix Technologies. You can find them on the web at http://
colormetrix.com/indexpm.php
It sounds like their ProofPass product might meet your requirements.

Bill,
A lot of choice as you can see. I can add the EFI Color Verfier as a
quality check for proofs. This software is available as an Option for EFI
Colorproof XF or as a stand-alone app. It works with a lot of devices and
several media wedges. What you do is compare the proofed wedge to the
reference profile of the proof. The result is an OK Proof or a Not OK Proof
with printable label of the measured delta E values.
See this link for more information.
