basICColor certify

Professional Quality Control Software to Monitor the Press Run

The German association of print and media (Verband Druck und Medien - VDM) developed a certification process based on the Prozess Standard for Offset (PSO). basICColor certify is recognized by VDM as the reference standard for gathering and validating press run data. Every quality conscious print shop can implement the evolving international standard. The report is valuable in communicating with the end customer, while maintaining confidence and gaining loyalty.

Informative

The data is presented both on screen with user selectable graphic analysis, as well as in a PDF report format.

Density Analysis

basICColor certify allows users to determine the outcome from printing to a variety of aim densities. The analysis helps both with pass/fail predictions as well as with understanding the density aims and tolerance range relationships.

Certification Tool

Pairing basICColor control with certify produces the complete quality control solution for the print workflow. Certification of a contract proof and press run contribute toward improved FOGRA standard comparison/analysis and color related communication.
