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.
