Charts are usually used for device profiling – ECI, IT8 and Hydra® charts – however some of them can be used for device calibration or evaluation such as IDEAlliance P2P and TC 1617.





The need for spot color reproduction without spot ink is increasing, particularly for digital printing.
However, printers and customers are often uncertain and unable to accurately predict the printed result.
The consequences are that many jobs that can be printed digital are still printed offset with spot inks, and that those printed digital often require several iterations and “curve tweaking” before getting an acceptable match.
In both cases, customer and printer are both losing money: customer by paying more, and printer by making less.
Alwan Color Expertise’s spot color reproduction sales kit has been designed to allow printer predict and promote the spot color reproduction capabilities of any of his print devices.
