Colour Confidence, the independent colour management company, has become UK distributor of the new Triangle Colorscale.
The Ugra/FOGRA Media Wedge CMYK is used for comparison checking of digital proofs with print standards, print runs with print standards and digital proofs with print runs by visual examination and measurement.
To enable the digital proof to be checked for colour accuracy against the standardised print, the included documentation lists target colorimetric CIE LAB values for the individual colour patches on the Ugra/FOGRA Media Wedge for a range of print standards, said Colour Confidence.
Delivered as a digital file it consists of a 34-colour patch test strip and two graduated black and chromatic grey wedges.
The colour patches are defined in percentage dot areas of the CMYK process colours and are assessed on the proof or print according to colorimetric values.
Geoffrey Clements, managing director of Colour Confidence, said: "Through our consultancy work with publishers, printers and a variety of other clients, we have seen a shift to more people printing and proofing by numbers and, as such, the Ugra/FOGRA products and others like them are becoming increasingly important.
This addition to our product range continues our aim of providing our customers with systems which we feel will be of benefit.".
