HAINBURG (Germany)/MINNEAPOLIS MN, July 25, 2008 – CGS Publishing Technologies International, global leader of color management solutions, digital proofing systems and specially-formulated media, today announced that ORIS Color Tuner has received GRACoL and SWOP certification on Epson Stylus Pro 4880, Stylus Pro 7880, Stylus Pro 9880 and Stylus Pro 11880 printers.
Certification has been granted for Grade # 1 GRACoL on ORIS PearlProof Super, Grade # 3 SWOP on ORIS PearlProof Commercial and Grade # 5 SWOP on ORIS PearlProof Publication on all printers in the series. The ORIS PearlProof family is made to CGS specifications under the strictest manufacturing tolerances ensuring consistent batch-to-batch quality. With their exclusive ultra-fine grain nanoporous coating, ORIS PearlProof media provide double the surface area of common microporous papers thus allowing for higher ink densities, uniform ink absorption, better shadow detail, larger color gamut and faster drying. The exclusive single-pass coating ensures very low defect level, greater consistency and stable Lab values.
About SWOP
Specifications for Web Offset Printing (SWOP) was initiated in 1975 as a response to the printing industry’s need for uniform specifications and tolerances to ensure consistency and quality of material in publications. In 2005, SWOP merged with IDEAlliance in order to support print media through the coordinated development of standardized specifications and guidelines, certification programs, software tools, educational seminars and peer support networks. SWOP, Inc. now operates as a program with IDEAlliance. SWOP is a registered trademark of IDEAlliance. Learn more at www.swop.org.
About GRACoL
In 1996, a graphics arts task force was formed by the Graphic Communications Association (now IDEAlliance) to develop a document containing general guidelines and recommendations that could be used as a reference source across the industry for quality color printing. Since that time, the GRACoL Committee has developed, maintained and published printing guidelines that have since become de facto standards on many pressrooms. The mission of GRACoL is to improve communications and education in the graphics arts by developing best practices that reflect the influence and impact of new technologies in the workflow of commercial offset lithography.
