Professional Software for the Validation of Proof and Print Quality

Hard Proof validation by Fogra standards is critical in today's market - "The accuracy of a contract proof must be validated with the Ugra / FOGRA Media Wedge CMYK, which has known CIELAB values and defined tolerances".  With basICColor catch control, you can evaluate the media wedge along with many other control strips. control allows you to evaluate color using a range of targets including: Ugra / FOGRA v2, v3, or even a complete ECI 2002 target CMYK. basICColor catch control automatically generates a report on screen, and now also offers a PDF report as well as a validation label - which can be attached to each proof. basICColor control improves your quality control process.

Flexible

basICColor control supports a variety of process control targets, press standards, and measurement devices. The options are already included within the package. You can start immediately with your choice of Ugra / Fogra media wedge, IFRA Cuboid, or ECI 2002 target.

Independent

basICColor control is a stand-alone solution. Proofs from any source can be evaluated (provided that they include any supported target patches). Thus you can always recheck proof prints, no matter whether they were produced in-house, or by a service provider.

Certification Tool

Users can measure and validate a proof against the FOGRA standard (or other preferred standard), then produce a report in either PDF or DYMO label format.
