With version 7.20 of ColorGATE’s RIP software, customers now benefit from the new optional TVI Calibration Module (TVICM) which allows tonal value corrections, similar to offset printing. TVICM is easy to use because of the integrated process calibration wizard. Also, the simulation of spot color gradients have been improved and the preview feature for cut paths has been integrated. Furthermore, the internal control wedge evaluation for large format printing in Proofgate 7 and Proofgate 7 Module (PGM) has been adjusted to the PSD defaults. In addition, the new release provides support for a large number of printers and enhancements in e.g. Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) and G7 Calibration Module (G7CM). The TVI Calibration complements the existing color management tool sets with the tonal value correction (TVI) well known from ISO 12647-2 which is used in offset printing. Analog to offset printing standard compliant print results can be achieved by using dot gain correction, standard ink and matching a paper specific TVI target. TVICM offers the possibility to calibrate conventional printing presses in heterogeneous production environments via tonal value correction. The ProcessStandard Digital (PSD) was developed by Fogra Forschungsgesellschaft Druck e.V. to improve the process control, to increase the quality and to maintain similar color reproduction results even on completely different print engines and media. For print service providers in large/wide format printing (LFP) PSD stipulates for the first time an officially recognized set of rules similar to ProcessStandard Offset (PSO).
