IT8 7.3 Reference

(48K .TXT)

An IT8.7/3 target is a printed reflection target that can be used to obtain the color gamut achievable by the fingerprint test. The target can be read by either a colorimeter or by a spectrophotometer. Many devices exist today that will even automate the process of reading and interpreting the target generating a color profile of the achievable color gamut for each fingerprint test.These color profiles are governed by the ICC (International Color Consortium).

They can be attached to color halftone files thus optimizing the color balance of the printed halftone itself for a particular fingerprint. Color profiles have helped to attain consistency within the printing process by permitting predictable color reproductions. It is very important to understand that a separate profile is created from each fingerprint. Failure to utilize the appropriate profile, may result in unpredictable print. If used correctly, ICC color profiles can be a powerful tool aiding all types of printers.
