Bodoni Proofing Paper 200 gsm 42" x 30 m Fogra Certified.

Bodoni, Fogra-Certificated, microporous, resin-coated high-end proofing paper with semi-matt finish is specifically designed for high quality proofing applications and for use in all large format printers.

The Bodoni Fogra Certified proofing paper was especially developed for contract proofs in a professional environment. Its shade fits exactly to the ISO 12647-7 and was approved by fogra as a semi matt proofing paper.

The paper was designed to be able to show brilliant colors, fine nuances and a wide color gamut. Due to the lack of of use of optical brightners a high color stability and a highly reduced metamerism-effect is guaranteed.

Thanks to the special microporous surface, Bodoni Fogra Certified proofing paper has excellent drying properties, provides a particularly water- and light-fastness and guarantees optimumflatness, even in cases of a high application of ink.

In its latest version the shade of this proofing paper is directly targeted to the requirement of ISO 12647-7. The colour gamut has been increased, especially noticeable in dark tone and shadow areas.

i1Profiler Software for:

Display Profiling (LCD, CRT, Laptop)
Display Quality check
Projector Profiling
RGB Printer Profiling
CMYK, CMYK+N Printer Profiling

Pantone Color Manager

Pantone Color Manager will dynamically keep all digital PANTONE libraries up to date, accurate and ready to use in Adobe® and Quark® creative applications. The included PANTONE Color Manager swatch bridging software gives users access to all PANTONE colors for precise spot color matching, and unparalleled accuracy of spot color reproduction. It also makes multiple color space selections simple for easy color translation to multiple applications and is ideal for photographers that need to shoot corporate ID images.

PANTONE Color Manager includes a unique new feature, which simplifies the creation and distribution of corporate brand style guides. Designers can include palette information, digital color data, and output profiles to ensure that their brand color is faithfully reproduced in any print production process around the corner or across the globe.

ColorChecker Proof

To help users perform a visual color evaluation of their results using physical standards, i1Photo Pro and i1Publish Pro solutions include the new ColorChecker Proof, a 24-patch ColorChecker Classic target precut for direct viewing against a printed target. When used in proper lighting conditions, this offers immediate visual verification of profile output results.

ColorChecker Passport Software and ColorChecker Classic Target

With the ColorChecker Passport Camera Calibration Application and Lightroom® Plug-in, users can quickly and easily build custom camera profiles for Adobe® imaging solutions including Lightroom®, Photoshop®, Photoshop® Elements, Camera Raw (ACR) and Adobe® Bridge. This advanced profiling technology, which has become widely adopted in Raw workflows since its launch in September 2009, provides excellent results with just the small 24-patch ColorChecker Classic target. It produces custom profiles that work exceptionally well, even in unusual or artificial light sources. Plus, software auto-detections will locate the target automatically. Whether shooting with just one camera, or multiple cameras, photographers can easily establish an accurate color foundation and maintain control of their colors. ColorChecker Software and Target are included in i1Photo Pro and i1Publish Pro.

At the core of i1Profiler is X-Rite's i1Prism engine, whose unique profiling technology lets users build printer profiles for up to 8-colour workflows (RGB, CMYK, and CMYK plus any 4). This reliable, intelligent, iterative technology is extremely robust, allowing for further profile optimization based on any combination of images, spot colors or captured colors, resulting in the best possible image quality and color accuracy. Users can select from any of the included PANTONE color libraries, including the new PANTONE PLUS SERIES. Users can further adapt their profiles to specific ambient light conditions, compensate for optical brighteners in their papers (with an i1iSis), and utilize simple yet advanced controls for black separation. i1Profiler lets users save and reuse assets or preferred settings with drag-and-drop functionality - meaning profile generation workflows can be created or shared with others quickly, easily and efficiently. This exchange functionality also allows users to communicate palette information and other color data across the office or around the world using X-Rite's Color Exchange Format (CxF) for the most comprehensive digital color data exchange.
