Multi-Process Output from Common Data Base

Electronic page makeup systems working from a single digital image data base offer the possibility to output films for many printing conditions. Look up tables may be used to manipulate the composite images. These look-up tables accommodate the same requirements as needed in original color separation. The variables of ink on paper for any process must first be standardized before conversion tables can be developed. SWOP and G.T.A. Group V standards form a starting point from which experimental data has been derived. These look-up tables accommodate the same requirements as needed in original color separation. The variables of ink on paper for any process must first be standardized before conversion tables can be developed. SWOP and G.T.A. Group V standards form a starting point from which experimental data has been derived. This paper describes an ongoing effort by the Scitex Corporation to quantify process variables and develop conversion techniques for its users.
