DIGITAL PROOFING -- Taking Measure of a Proof

Twenty color proofing solution vendors recently participated in a Color Proofing Roundup held in conjunction with the IPA Technical Seminar in Chicago. They accepted a challenge to make proofs from a PDF/x-3 file utilizing the Altona Test Suite (www.eci.org/eng/index_e.html). The suite was devised by the Germany-based European Color Initiative (ECI), which had already conducted two rounds of tests in Europe.
