Excellent ICC-Multicolor Profiles and Spot Color Overprinting

Friday 14. February 2020 - The Research Institute for Media Technology e.V (Fogra) has placed very precise Color management software for multi-channel printing under the microscope. To this end, they presented the participants at the Multicolor Forum 2019 with various tasks to analyze in detail the procedure, precision and practicality of the solutions. Their goal? To provide potential customers with a manufacturer-independent view of the highly topical topic from the prepress perspective.

Several leading software manufacturers took up the challenge and submitted their results. Amongst the seven “Use Cases”, were overprinting spot colors using CxF* data, proofing multicolor data and profile generation.
“We are very satisfied with the results and what makes us particularly happy is that we were able to show clearly how we can use our software to create ICC multi-channel profiles in a standard format that can be implemented directly in existing workflows. This also applies of course to the internal workflow in ORIS X Gamut to convert PDF data into the extended color space,” emphasizes Lukas Lindwehr, Product Manager at CGS ORIS.

In addition, Fogra will be hosting February 12th and 13th the “Color Management Symposium” for the seventh time. The results will be presented there and current core topics such as “printing in the extended color space”, packaging and industrial printing are dealt with in depth
