Summary:
The electronic revolution has given, in the last decade, the ability to produce four-color separations much faster than ever before. With this revolution, also come new ways to manipulate and correct, enhance, and create images. It should be remembered that the principles of color reproduction are to correct for the deficiencies and secondary absorbencies of inks on a particular paper or stock to be used. There are a number of colorimetric specifications for printing inks on a worldwide basis. A task force has been set up under the guidance of the GAA, in conjunction with members from S.W.O.P., IPA, NAPIM, and GATF. Its objective is to assess the feasibility of setting a colorimetric specification for cyan, yellow, magenta, and black in conjunction with normal proofing papers, and to investigate the secondary and tertiary responses to ensure a colorimetric match under comparable printing conditions.
