Individueel proofprofielcreatie met aangepast papierwitness

We create customized proof profiles on request based on a classic proof standard with a paper white adapted to your substrate paper.
If you frequently print on a special substrate paper that deviates significantly from the standard paper white of a classic proof standard, it may be worthwhile to create a customized proof profile adapted to your paper white in order to achieve better visual alignment between proof and substrate print. 

Typical areas of application for such customized proof profiles are: 

• You print on an optical brightening agent-free recycling natural paper that is greyer than the paper white of PSOUncoated / Fogra47
• ​You print on a slightly cream-colored art paper that always makes your motifs appear warmer than you prepared them in retouching in ISOCoatedV2
• You use an optically brightened letterhead that appears even whiter than PSOUncoatedV3 / Fogra52

To create such a profile, we will select the best matching "standard" proof profile in consultation with you and adapt its color values to the paper white of your substrate paper. This creates a customized "house standard" proof profile that can provide you with a better match between proof and substrate print. 

This adjustment has many advantages, but also some disadvantages:

Positive:

• You receive a proof adapted to your substrate paper that simulates the deviations caused by yellowish, bluish or greyish substrate paper
• The adjustment is uncomplicated and requires only a one-time effort for the calculation and implementation of the new proof profile in our proof system
• You only incur costs once for the creation; for all subsequent proof orders, only standard proof costs apply

Negative:

• The new profile was merely "calculated" by intelligent software, so it is not based on numerous measurements of thousands of anchor points like a classic proof profile
• The new profile is no longer "color and legally binding" like classic ISO or PSO profiles, but merely a "house standard" that can work perfectly - or may not...
• The new profile can only be used for proof printing, not for separation, as it can only be applied in absolute colorimetric mode.
• In many cases, a media wedge can be generated with a valid test protocol based on the profile's reference values, but not always. 

We charge you a one-time fee for the creation and implementation of your customized proof profile.
