Caldera’s Print Standard Verifier tool enhanced with IDEAlliance G7 standard

Caldera has enhanced its Print Standard Verifier tool with IDEAlliance G7 standard Print Standard Verifier, which ensures standards conformity across printing processes and has been augmented with the addition of support for G7. Published by international organisation IDEAlliance, G7 integration is the latest step in Caldera’s continuing mission to help digital print service providers achieve a certified process standard and is available for users of GrandRIP+, GrandTEX+, VisualRIP+ and VisualTEX+ immediately.

Repeatability and cross-platform colour delivery are now critical commercial pressures for printers, and guaranteeing each across different substrates, gamut and chemistries is mission-critical. G7 is a definition of the appearance of greyscale and a methodology for applying this to CMYK-based print machinery. The device-independent process uses a neutral print density curve to create faithful comparisons and enable shared appearance of output when cross-process colour management is unavailable.
