Spot Colours & Specials

Our Contract Proofing system doesn't just match CMYK, it handles spot colours too!

Spot colours specified in any of the major colour systems -- Pantone, Toyo, HKS, DIC -- can be accurately matched and there are no limits to how many can be used in any job.

We are also able to swap process colour inks for spot colours in-RIP. All you need do is supply a conventional PDF and tell us which of the CMYK inks you'd like to replace with specials.

 

 

Ugra/Fogra Media Wedge CMYK v3.0

The Ugra/Fogra Media Wedge is the most widely recognized control tool worldwide and has existed in its two-row form for over ten years. In 2008 the Media Wedge was re-designed with a third row so as to provide increased sensitivity in highlights and shadows.

The new version is compatible with the original -- meaning that all of the original 46 colour fields of the version 2 Media Wedge still appear in version 3 -- but the additional colour fields match the tolerances specified in ISO 12647-7.
