Converting to ISO Coated V2 We have the FOGRA CMYK Media Wedge V2.0
- which has a copyright date of
2004.
On the FOGRA website - they now list a V2.1 - but the PDFs links on
the same
page are talking about (and picturing) the V2.0 - ©2004
UGRA website also lists CMYK Media Wedge V2.1 - but their image
shows a
copyright date 2006
But confusing - I've also seen press releases (from EFI) in April
2007 -
announcing support of the New UGRA/FOGRA Media Wedge V2.2 - but no
mention
of this V2.2 on either UGRA or FOGRA websites.
Does anyone know what color differences there are between the old
V2.0 and
V2.1 or V2.2
Knowing this could not a user simply update the V2.0 EPS or TIFF color
patches and black & grey wedges to reflect new values?
Hi Joseph
I "believe" the new MediaWedge has the Grey Balance CMY% and relevant
K% from the much improved Fogra 39 print runs mentioned by Dan. Any
data used to verify this wedge needs to have the relevant Lab values
for these Grey steps and for the primaries, which should be to the
latest version of ISO 12647-2. Also check out the ECI website http://
www.eci.org/eci/en/060_downloads.php, where they have a new "ECI/bvdm
Gray Control Strip". and relevant pdf manual. Armed with this info,
and the Fogra 39 Data Set, you "could" perhaps update the control
strip EPS images yourself, or make your own,(X-Rite ColorPort?) maybe
for internal use until the official ones are available and
incorporated in your proofing software.
Having been at the BPIF "test day" last year, when Fogra 27, 39 and
Gracol G7 were printed in various combinations, I concur with Dan's
recommendations. But get the Proofer sorted out first in order to
check your images.
