DIGITAL PROOFING -- Taking Measure of a Proof

One set of proofs was prepared using a SWOP TR001 reference print condition. A second set was prepared using a blind target, which was the proposed GRACoL reference print conditions, now also known as TR004.

They included Agfa Corp., Apago, Best Color, Blanchard Systems, CGS Publishing, Compose Systems, Creo, DuPont Imaging Technologies, Enovation Graphic Systems (Fuji), Heidelberg USA, Integrated Color Solutions, Kodak Polychrome Graphics, Latran Technologies, X-Rite, GMG Weihing GmbH, Pitman Co., RealTimeImage, Xinet and Xerox Corp.
