Set up the Certified Process for Color Confirmation to use an Industry-standard color bar with a standards-based profile.
Color bar
The color bar will be an industry-standard color bar, created by one of the industry-standards organizations. You can access industry-standard color bars the following ways:
- Install configuration files for the Kodak media that you want to use. Some configuration files include industry-standards color bars, such as SWOP and Fogra color bars.
- Use Kodak Proofing Software to create an industry-standards color bar. Kodak Proofing Software includes the artwork for some industry standard organizations, such as Fogra.
Profile
The profile will be a standards-based profile. You will select a standard data set that corresponds to the industry-standard artwork.
Procedure
- If applicable, export any required signed ICC profiles.
- Copy the signed profiles to workflow software.
- Create the color bar using a default industry-standard artwork and a corresponding standard data set 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.
