Set up the Certified Process for Color Confirmation to use a color bar created in Proofer Adminstrator using the Fogra artwork and color targets and a profile from a configuration file supplied by Kodak. Configuration files are available for download on the Partner Place service and support portal.
Color bar
The color bar will be created in Proofer Administrator using the Fogra artwork and color targets. The following Fogra artwork is available in Proofer Administrator:
- Default Fogra V3
Uses the Fogra V3.0 color bar artwork provided with the software. This artwork has 3 rows of patches. The Default Fogra V3B color bar contains smaller patches. Artwork for various Fogra V3.0 standards is included, for example, Fogra MKZ1 (1 row of patches and available only for inline spectrophotometers) and Fogra MKZ3 (3 rows of patches and available only for inline spectrophotometers), and so on. - Default Fogra
Uses the Fogra color bar artwork provided with the software. This artwork has two rows of patches.
Kodak Proofing Software includes a number of Fogra color targets. You can also add additional color targets as needed.
Profile
The profile will be a Kodak profile. You cannot sign Kodak profiles, because Kodak has already signed them.
Procedure
- Copy the signed profiles to workflow software.
- Create a default Fogra color bar using a default Fogra artwork and a default signed ICC profile selected from the Characterization Standard list.
- Create a layout with the Certified Process for Color Confirmation option enabled and the color bar selected.
- Set up the proofing hot folder or workflow process template to use this layout, the applicable media configuration, and the proofer ICC device or DeviceLink profile.
- Export and submit the artwork PDF file to this processing setup for color management.
- When the crosshairs are correctly aligned on the printed color bar, use the Measurement wizard to measure the color bar to complete the setup and and populate the L*a*b* Target Values.
