Recorded Webinars

 Monitor Proofing "to the Numbers"
In this webinar, Bill Pope from RIT will describe the details of the new SWOP Certification Program for Virtual Proofing Systems. Issues around how evaluating monitor proofing systems differs from evaluating hard copy proofing systems will be highlighted. How we selected the deltaE scale to evaluate numeric tolerances will be discussed. Other topics include evaluation of the monitor itself, steps to evaluate monitor proofing systems and the numeric tolerances demanded.

G7 Update 2008
G7 is the IDEAlliance specification that outlines methods to calibrate proofing systems and presses based on principles of digital imaging, spectrophotometry, and computer-to-plate (CtP) technologies.  A new version of the "The G7 "How To" will be published in the spring of 2008.  A walk through and update will be conducted by Don Hutcheson, immediate past chair of GRACoL and G7 inventor.

SWOP Announces First Monitor Proofing Systems Certified to the "Numbers"
April 2008, IDEAlliance today announced that 27 monitor proofing systems have passed the newly launched IDEAlliance Monitor Proofing Systems Certification Program.  This comes after two years of ongoing research by the IDEAlliance Print Properties Working Group and the SWOP Technical Committee in conjunction with the Rochester Institute of Technology Printing Applications Laboratory to determine how best to judge the quality of monitor proofing systems to the “numbers.”
