Dear Juergen,
I have not read the documentation yet but, when they claim « perfectly
aligned, surely they mean having measured the press sheet against the
characterization, presumably using the SAME exact instrument, with the SAME
exact paper for both the characterization stage and this verification stage?
I will take a look at the documentation ;-)
Thank you / Roger

No, Roger,
if you read the documentation the field test carefully (
http://www.eci.org/en/projects/fred15 ), you can find spot on as a naming
for the characterization data and ICC-profiles that are perfectly aligned to
the reference values from ISO12647-2:2013

When you write « The targets in 12647-2 are basically to be taken spot-on

Dear Erwin,
ISO12647-2:2013 has not to be revised.
The parameters described in this paper are relevant.
With Appendix-B in 12647-2:2013 we already have a description how to adapt
to different paper shades
... the only thing that we would need is maybe an addendum to make all
relevant (like how-to to trace brighteners and measurement technology)
adjustments traceable.
We will always have a kind of moving target with the production papers
which, depending on the regional flavor and other fashions will change
through the years.
The targets in 12647-2 are basically to be taken spot-on, if the substrate
measures as described.
The actual FOGRAbeta candidates are based on spot-on data how they are
described in 12647-2:2013. Just moved to a suggested better average of the
production papers.
With the old generation of 12647-2 we were handling strict targets. Printers
struggled to reach those references if the paper was far from the reference.
The reference value (e.g. L*95, a*0, b*-2 on white backing with the related
primary and secondary color tergets) as such was compromising between legacy
viewing conditions and legacy measurement technology. Most of the production
papers were not very close to the reference values.
I have seen several times how printers were looking for specific printing
paper when they prepared for a certification, just as the standard did not
cover their daily business environment.
With the revision of 12647-2 in 2013 we can see significant improvement with
the classification of the substrates and with the references and tolerances
described
plus the new and needed flexibility to consider other papers than
those that fit perfectly to THE reference values described.
With the know-how and the tools we are having today it is just logical that
it is not the IS0 to describe static references but dynamic tools and rules
to handle printing jobs to a even better predictability and accuracy.
Kind regards
Juergen

Dear Jürgen,
Thank you for your input.
What you say here means we should revise the standard first before we
discuss characterization data and profiles. I think if the standard
(12647-2:2013) and the characterization data and profiles don't fit together
we lose creditability anyway.

Hello dear friends,
we (GMG) are actually successfully providing seminars
where we explain the
relation and the correlation between the several actual
standards that are
the most important for our prepress color communication.
-there is the color measurement with its measurement
conditions
(ISO13655:2009 with M0, M1, M2 and M3) -the viewing
conditions with
their significant change towards a better D50 alike
viewing (according
ISO3664:2009) -and finally we have the updated
references for Offset
printing in 12647-2:2013
and if you know these 3 areas and their correlation (which should
finally end in a
perfect color communication!), I am really wondering that
there are still some of you in favor of a suboptimal solution. Right now at
this momentum where we could really improve color communication to a new
level in quality!
Knowing the correlations between the 3 named standards
also means to
understand the areas where the correlation is not so good:
If we compare an average of printing substrates from
the market with the
reference values for the more fluorescent papers in
12647-2:2013, it is
getting obvious that there is no good match. When in PS1 it is not dramatic,
it is really obvious in PS5 (please see attached .jpg).
When we measured a mass of Woodfree Coated Papers, we
can see a
significant number with around b*-6 to -7 measured in M1. Spot-on with a
b*
of -4 is not far away but just enough to confuse and degrade the potential
quality in color communication.
With the comparison of the two competing candidates
for Woodfree Uncoated
Paper, it is just becoming cristal clear that those spot-on
data are a valid
reference maybe for a precess control but no solution that seem to be ment
to be really color accurate.
The M1-targets written in 12647-2:2013 seem to be
written at a time when
we did not have the experience with M1-measurement as we have
it today
and
thats why an uncertainty of potential side effects and impacts may have led
to chose very conservative values
basically just a kind of translation of
M0 to M1, without any real adjustment to be more relevant to real world
production paper (e.g. an Lab from Fogra39, defined in M0 with 95/0/-2 would
look something like 95/1/-3.5 in M1 if the bluishness comes from
fluorescence; almost spot on with the actual ISO value).
If we go for spot-on, we will hardly see any
difference between legacy M0
and new M1-proofs
even though this was one important criteria in the past,
that Gracol or FOGRA39 were too yellowish compared to production stock!?
More than just looking at the references from above,
we have to consider a
significant impact of some measurement device manufacturers
work for a
better traceability of the color measurement between different devices. Here
we could mention the significant impact on color measurement in prepress
that became obvious with the introduction of Xrites traceability approach,
with their XRGA.
The Lab-values for the primaries, written in
12647-2:2013 are
unfortunately based on color measurement before Xrite had worked
out a
better traceability. This means that we are referencing to Lab-values that
would already today measure some different color angle with actual
measurement technology. If we keep in mind that e.g. the difference between
an old Gretag-measurement (GMDI) shows up to 2,5 DeltaE compared to a new
Xrite measurement, we can see that there is an implicit risk to fail, even
in process control.
With the 2 FOGRA-candidates 51 and 52, we can see a
very responsible
handling of the involved variables as we can see them in daily
practice.
A significantly higher consideration of fluorescent
agents, just as it can
be seen in the market place.
and an adjustment that recognizes the
improvents in traceability of our industries measurement technologies.
I really hope that we will not publish spot-on as THE
reference, just
because it sounds more coherent. Latest with the usecases around
brightened
uncoated papers, we would lose all credibility.
PS:
one feedback that I have heard from the US, where they have started
much earlier to
push M1-references with e.g. the new Gracol2013, indicates
where we are going to be with the spot-on-set:
Establishing ideal aims / char data for high-OBA
conditions via
easy-to-use tools. With regard to this, I wonder if 12647-2 and 15339
have
been published pre-maturely, before we have settled the OBA related workflow
issues.
Kind regards
Juergen

Hi Claas, all,
simply spoken: if we are not providing a "spot
on" printing condition
(Characterisation Data, Profile), the revised ISO
12647-2:2013 is no longer
a valid reference.
Why is the given value in the new standard (b*-4) and
our printing
condition shows a different value (b*-6)?? Nobody will understand
this.
The print tests (more than 15 series already finalized
at various
printers, Fogra, Heidelberg) produced good results for PC1 with the
"spot
on" printing condition. I see no preference for FOGRA51beta.
Best regards
Karl Michael

Hi Andy, All,
I'm surprised that SpotOn is preferred.
The b* value of the majority of the analyzed
production papers (from Fogra
60.055) show a range of -4 to -8.
Thus I'd expect better proof to print matches
using FOGRA51beta with a b*
of -6.
Can people opting for SpotOn (b*= -4) enlighten me/us
why SpotOn is
preferred?
Thanks and best regards
Claas
