A tool to help heatset web offset printers achieve higher quality color printing with less waste and reduced makeready time.
These test forms enable you to diagnose, calibrate, and characterize your printing conditions (press, ink, fountain solution, paper plate, blanket, etc.)--you avoid productivity problems before they start!
Two-sided forms print on both sides of the web, taking advantage of the two-sided blanket-to-blanket press. Use these new test forms to thoroughly check density, dot gain, print contrast, and ink trapping--the QC targets and color images that make up the test forms practically do the work for you!
Print problems such as slur, doubling, and ink/water imbalance can easily be detected.
Elements include: Mottle Patches, Color Bars, Type Resolution, Fluting Target, Dot Size Comparators, Photographs, Show-Through Target, Star Targets, Vignettes.
Digital Test Form: Included is one CD-ROM (Mac and PC compatible) with test form in EPS file format and detailed User's Guide. The User's Guide is also included as a PDF file on the CD.
