AW: Request from AGFA - Status of PSR
by Meinecke, Karl Michael
Dear M Bergeron,
sorry for the delay, I had technical problems with my email account for some
days.
I recommend for the moment to contact Bernhard Schmidt (maul belser) to get
a printed master (PSR reference). However, the gravure prints are produced
in April 2001 and therefore rather old (aged). It is recommended to use
adapted proofs (GMG) based on the measured data of the April 2001 prints as
a reference instead. Please contact Mr. Schmidt and discuss also with him
how to proceed in the case of Agfa.
The last meeting of Working Group Gravure in February at Hamburg left some
questions open and led to some misunderstandings. The Documentation of PSR
was not complete and has to be explained more in detail. The LWC Standard is
working and is successfully used by many printers and customers in the
meantime. The SC Standard still has to be finished. The problems discussed
(e.g. color densities SC Prints to high) seem to be not that critical.
A small group (PSR Documentation) will check the status of PSR (LWC and SC)
in the next few weeks and will prepare information/documentation to be
presented afterwards to Working Group Gravure by July/August. An invitation
to this meeting of Working Group Gravure will be sent in time. If you have
further questions or requests, please contact me.
Freundliche Gruesse - Kind Regards
Karl Michael Meinecke

Betreff: Request from AGFA
Dear Mr Meinecke,
I had this last Wednesday a meeting with people from Agfa France and Agfa
Antwerp in the office of Agfa near Paris. They asked me to certify their
proofer Sherpa and their color management for Quebecor customers and
particularly for gravure process. I assessed a first result with our
standard Quebecor for gravure. This result is pretty good and has still to
be improved.
I told them that each time it is possible we will promote the ECI Standard
instead of our Quebecor Standard.
They are ready to work out a profile on their proofer and make it accepted
by ECI but for that they need the name of a person to contact and a printed
master on LWC to measure the ICC profile and compare the results with the
proofs printed on a Sherpa. I gave them the data files corresponding to the
master printed test at Maul Belser.
Please, tell me what person Agfa should contact to deal with this matter.
Regards
Didier Bergeron
