Characterization data sets

Characterization data sets define a combination of printing conditions for standard print processes. You can measure job colors against a reference, and calculate any deviation from the reference as a dE value.

IT8 characterization data is authorized measured data from the Fogra Institute. The measurement is based on the Altona Test Suite and the ISOcoated_v2 simulation (reference) profile.

Command WorkStation also provides profiling charts with randomly arranged color patches. You can recognize them by the letter “R” in their name—for example, FOGRA39_ECI2002R.it8. Whereas non-random profiling charts print inks in blocks of each color, random profiling charts distribute each ink color more evenly on the media.

For Ugra/Fogra media wedges, you can select a set of characterization data (Fogra, IFRA, PSR, or SWOP) to define a standardized printing condition. The following table shows which characterization data to use for which reference profile:
