Specification (Sorry. This file does not exist any more.) FograCert Softproofing System (Date 2010-04-08) 

The FograCert Softproofing System specifies requirements for a  complete Softproofing System which is intended to achieve a high quality visual match between a display and a reference  ( typically defined by a  printing condition). Visual characteristics further includes provisions for testing uniformity, profile accuracy, gamut and colorimetric accuracy. The Softproofing System is composed of a viewing booth, ambient  lighting, monitor, measurement device, driving software (calibration and profiling), softproof software and  the printing condition to be simulated.

Pretest (once per construction type):

• Monitor
  • Viewing Cone
  • Uniformity
  • Warm-up behavior (informative)
• Viewing cabinet

We check your softproofing system with respect too:

• Display Driving
  • Uniformity
  • Target Gradation (Gamma)
  • Smoothness
  • Profile Accuracy
  • max. Contrast ratio
  • Gamut
• Simulation
  • Contrast ratio
  • Correlated Colour Temperature (CCT)
  • Luminance
  • Gray balance
  • Colorimetric accuracy
• Visual assesment (informative only)
  
  • Smoothness
  • White point
  • Comparison of softproof to reference print

Duration of the test:

1 day at the vendors premise

written report after 3 weeks

(Pre-Test of viewing cabinet and monitors separate)
