Color management

color management theme
The umbrella descriptor “Color Management” in reality is about engineering color using sound color science principles within a software framework to drive an ever increasing number of output devices. Much has been written on the topic so this section takes on some well known issues and shows how they can be solved elegantly with Harlequin RIP software.

FograCert Contract Proofing

The Harlequin RIP Version 9.0 is FOGRA certified using the new plugin for the Epson Stylus Pro 7890 proofer, including validation of PDF/X conformance by correctly rendering the FograCert PDF/X-Output testform (based on the GWG patches). It is one of the first to achieve this using off-the-shelf proofing materials from Epson.

Metamerism

In some workflows metamerism is still an issue, especially in color critical printing such as skin color . How do you engineer the color setup to control or at least limit this known phenomena?

Color gamut

With good color profile engineering and the proper use of rendering intents stunning results can be achieved that overcome the compromise between real world color versus printed color.

Illuminants

What is the role of illuminants and how do you optimize printing by understanding and making use of illuminant information?

Color Accuracy

What is color accuracy and how do you measure it? What is good enough color accuracy and how do you achieve it?
