GRACoL/SWOP 2006 Characterization Data Sets The SWOP and GRACoL 2006 Characterization Data Sets. These are used for creating a SWOP3, SWOP5 or GRACoL1 proof.
ICC CRPC Profiles Version 2 for Legacy Applications This download includes ISO/PAS 15339-2/CGATS 21 CRPC profiles 1-7, including GRACoL 2013, and SWOP 2013, as part of the 7 common, G7 based, Characterized Reference Print Conditions. These profiles were built to the ICC Version 2 specifications for use with legacy software that is not compatible with current ICC Version 4 profile specifications. Users may notice a slight difference in GCR , but the visual result is identical, compared to the current ICC... Details
Idealliance ECG Characterization Test Target Project Kit The Idealliance ECG program is working to create an industry standard test chart, methods and procedures for calibrating, and a sample target characterization data set for ECG (Expanded Color Gamut) printing. In the first phase of the program, the objective is to create a standard characterization data set for use with a set white point using CMYKOGV printing inks. This is not limited to a specific print technology, but we are certain and hoping to capture data from... Details
Lab Reference Card Lab Ref is designed to allow colorimeter, spectrophotometer, and hybrid color measurement device users to verify that their equipment can measure colors accurately in terms of CIE specified values. Subtle differences in the design, calibration, and operation of this equipment can lead to different units yielding different colorimetric values, even when measuring the same sample. In turn, the difference in these values can create uncertainty about the accuracy of any one unit as well... Details
Large Format-Industrial-Textile Printing Control Wedge The Idealliance Large Format-Industrial-Textile Printing Control Wedge was created by the Idealliance Print Properties and Colorimetric Council in order to support the wide format, industrial and textile print segment of the industry. The Idealliance Large Format-Industrial-Textile Printing Control Wedge is designed to help digital print users on non-traditional substrates exceptionally control their print processes and is this Idealliance release is a first of its kind for this...

Lighting & Proof to Press Kit The Idealliance Print Properties and Colorimetric Council has created a kit detailing steps which can improve the proof to press match by using SCCA (Substate Corrected Colorimetric Aims) adjusted versions of CRPC (Characterized Reference Print Conditions) profiles, and/or by creating custom versions of CRPC and substrate profiles using custom daylight color temperatures. The kit contains extensive documentation on how to improve the press to proof match. In addition,... Details
Observer Metamerism in Soft Proofing White Paper Observer Metamerism in Soft Proofing White Paper - Color Challenges with Wide Gamut Displays Idealliance and the Print Properties Committee announce the release of a detailed white paper concerning the evaluation of Observer Metamerism in Soft Proofing. The information this project provides is a result of extensive research to find the causes behind metamerism when viewing color not only on different monitors, but addresses observer metamerism, which is when two people...

PQX® Terms of Reference PQX® Terms of Reference The PQX Terms of Reference is a concise statement intended to communicate the function and scope of the PQX message. This statement was used to guide the design of the PQX message.
Proof Verifier The Idealliance 2013 Proof Verifier tool is designed for use with GRACoL 2013, SWOP 2013 and as well as a complete family of 7 G7 based datasets for different substrates and printing processes (ISO 15339/CGATS 21). This download contains a spreadsheet that allows for manual verification of Idealliance print conditions.
Relationship of PQX® to CxF Download Relationship of PQX® to CxF This document descived the relationship between PQX and CxF as PQX® was designed to directly carry CxF data exported from any tool employing CxF. Rather than requiring the writing of specialized CxF data fragments, PQX carries a complete CxF data set in the CxF namespace to simplify the implementation of PQX by software vendors according to ISO 20616 (PRX/PQX) and ISO 17972 (CxF).
XCMYK Datasets & Profiles XCMYK is an extended-gamut printing method that yields a much wider color gamut than regular 4-color printing. For example, Digital printers can simulate XCMYK using ICC profiles, so long as their printing system has a color gamut equal to or greater than XCMYK. The XCMYK dataset and profiles can reproduce a larger gamut than that of GRACoL®, the industry’s current standard for print quality. The XCMYK dataset and profiles can also be used directly in digital front ends... Details
