A soft proofing system consists of a display, software, measurement equipment, and a host computer that adjusts incoming data so that a displayed image simulates the appearance of a hard copy proof calibrated to a chosen reference print characterization and viewed under standard lighting. Soft proofing systems are evaluated based on requirements specified in ISO 14861. A display is an LCD flat panel device with fluorescent or LED backlight, a screen resolution of 90 pixels per inch or more, a screen size capable of previewing intended content at full scale, and a gamut that encases the intended reference print condition. Displays are evaluated based on requirements specified in ISO 12646.

The Wide/Grand Format Inkjet System Certification Program evaluates original equipment manufacturers’ roll-fed and flatbed large format printing systems. Systems are evaluated for printing, production, and application qualities for a specific ink and media combination. Results of the program inform prospective and current users of large format technologies on which system best meets their production and market needs, as well as how to achieve consistent quality from their printing systems.

The G7 AI Master Calibration System Certification Program is designed for digital press manufacturers in fulfilling the need of a totally automated G7 Calibration solution for the printing industry. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), in-line color measurement devices, and cloud-based technology make possible the implementation of achieving the G7 calibration condition as an integral part of the digital presses with full automation and without human intervention.
Please note this system certification has been discontinued and is no longer offered to new systems. Existing systems certified are still honored and can be found via the link below.
The Wide/Grand Format Inkjet System Performance Benchmarking Program is an initiative of the Idealliance – Print Properties and Colorimetric Council to quantify performance of innovative technologies in the wide/grand format inkjet industries. Evaluations of original equipment manufacturers’ roll-fed and flatbed large format printing systems are completed for printing, production, and application qualities for a specific ink and media combination. Results of the program allow developers to conduct independent third-party analysis of current and emerging technologies and inform prospective and current users of large format technologies on which system best meets their production and market needs, as well as how to achieve consistent quality from their printing systems.evaluates original equipment manufacturers’ roll-fed and flatbed large format printing systems.
