New subject: Fogra 51 and Fogra 52

9 Jun 2019

      Hallo Karl,

I really need to brush up on meine Deutche 😊

Danke shön so much for taking the zeit to explain.

I suspected Fogra51 was nicht der simple result of farbmessung druck sheets mit M1
instrument. You had to take into consideration Fogra39 and alles die other “historical”
developments, to carry the same “logic” into the future.

May I ask which proofing substrate sind “popular” to proof Fogra51 und 52, heute for
inkjet?

Has BVDM tested any? By any chance?

MfG / Roger

Bonjour Roger,

Fogra 51 and Fogra 52 were not created by just taking measurements from a print. The
characterization data sets, especially of Fogra 51, is the result of a comprehensive
process of optimization, statistical evaluation, comparing results and final decision of a
group of ECI experts. The more than 15 print series at german, swiss and austrian printing
companies were initiated and accompanied by bvdm (myself) and overseen by ECI experts. The
measurements taken for Fogra 51 were all M1 (with additional M0 and M2 measurements to
evaluate the differences). All this was intense and hard work of ECI experts (Hanno
Hoffstadt (key person), Florian Suessl, Jurgen Seitz, Roland von Oeynhausen et al). When
the final characterization data set (Fogra 51) was fixed and passed, it was given to Fogra
to create the official data for publication in the series of Fogra characterisation data.
Most of the Fogra chardata were created in a similar way, e.g. Fogra 27 ff. with the
development of Altona Test Suite reference prints (2003-2004), Fogra 39 ff. with the
edition of ISO 12647-2 (2007) and with the development of web offset chardata and profiles
by ECI web offset international working group, supported by bvdm.

The corresponding ECI profiles were created and published by ECI. The „making of“ was
reported e.g. at the launch of the new printing conditions (ECI Profiles, Fogra 51, 52) on
September 30, 2015 in a special event at Stuttgart Media University (HdM).

The comprehensive documentation (with many related topics such as PDF/X, ISO Standards for
prepress and print) is available: MediaStandard Print (2018) free PDF download from bvdm
website:
https://www.bvdm-online.de/themen/technik-forschung/richtlinien-und-handrei…  There
is a mix of german and english documents for download on this website (e.g. also the ECI
bvdm CrayCon series – Gray Control Strips). Just scroll down.

Betreff: [ECI-EN] Fogra 51 and Fogra 52

Is there any dokumentation on what instruments were used to generate Fogra 51 und Fogra52
characterization datei? Just “M1”? Or was it a “combination” of the same press sheets
measured with different instruments, all in M1 mode, like with an X-Rite eXact oder eine
Techkon Spectrodens oder eine Minolta FD-7?

Enshuldigen sie if I missed this and it is already mentioned on Fogra excellent web site
☹
