Hello all,
Hoping to have feedback from G7 Experts.
I have not studied GRACoL in a couple years, but last time I did, I had entered a proof from our proofing system into IPA Proofing RoundUp. The proof did not fall within tolerances. I believe it was because of the UV filter on my DTP41BUV spectro I had to use with DuPont CromaPro XP software that the proof failed compliance.
Well, I have been shipped a proofing system, etc. from Kodak as a way to get the company I work for to stay with their plates, etc. that Kodak sells us. They knew we were looking and trying alternatives, and so they gave us this stuff to help us get set up to GRACoL 7.
Thing is: The Eye-One Pro on the P.O. says UV at the end, which means to me that this Eye-One Pro has UV filtration - the same thing that kept my proofs from being in tolerance a couple years ago.
So I have a question for the G7 Experts:
Do I want an Eye-One Pro that says UV on it? Will I be able to get to the GRACoL 7 specification of the international standard? And if so, will I be able to scan a light color and match it if asked to? From my experience, the answers are no across the board. But since I haven't studied in a couple years this subject, I'd like others letting me know if the vendors are still screwing me while telling me if they are helping me.
Thank you.
Don
