Subject: zur Info "Tiefdruckstandard"
Prior to introduction in August, we are in the process of discussing the
> above standard with key European publishers and printers.
>
> The new Cromalin Eurostandard Gravure printing spec creation process:
>
> In the same way that we developed the Cromalin Eurostandard offset
> print
> spec together with the Brunner consultancy, we have developed the
> Cromalin Eurostandard gravure print spec in co-operation with the
> Fussler consultancy
> Rather than developing a gravure standard from press back and having to
> contend with gradation spikes and smoothing algorithms etc, we have
> developed it from a "pure theoretical definition" (defined by Fusslers
> test form, experience & knowledge of an ideal printed result) forward
>
> This gives publishers and printers several benefits:
>
> Ideal gradation - Relative to Fusslers definition and tested on
> Polestar
> press's
> Printable highlight dots - Due to one achievable standard, precision
> engraving set-up can be achieved
> Balanced scalability - Low, medium & high density print specs can be
> proofed for relevant image quality whilst maintaining the colour
> balance
> (i.e. if a proof was made to an "average standard" this may not be
> matched to a low, medium or high density range quoted by the printer)
> Paper shade - The standards colour balance can be maintained whilst
> specific publisher paper shades can be applied & called an "x"
> publisher
> standard
>
> This will hopefully lead to improved efficiency and effectiveness between
> gravure proofing and printing.
>
> We are planning on making the new standard available in ICC format for use
> on other printers.
>
> If in your search for a device independent, high quality gravure standard
> this sounds of interest, please let me know.
