The internationally recognized Fogra Institute has tested these targets in detail and certified them: “The evaluation shows an excellent conformity of the tested transmissive and reflective targets to ISO 12641-2.

LaserSoft Imaging has participated in the development of the new standard and already offers these new targets for purchase. The addition of color dots in the dark and pastel tones further increases the accuracy of the new targets. The almost triple amount of measuring fields on the targets can produce much more accurate color profiles, as much more measurement data is now available. The old ISO 12641 standard was extended by an ISO committee to include a new Part 2 standard with more modern target layouts. These deviations can occur due to production, aging or environmental factors and can be compensated by a correction color profile. With the help of so-called IT8 targets, a kind of color measurement chart, the deviation of a scanner is measured in an IT8 profiling process. With the new “Extended Targets”, this task can now be performed even more precisely than before, thus achieving maximum color fidelity. In order to compensate for the fact that scanners perceive colors differently, an IT8 profile is used to create a color profile that characterizes the color space of the device and takes individual deviations into account. LaserSoft Imaging has participated in the development of this standard and offers targets corresponding to the new standard at an early stage.

(PresseBox) ( Kiel, 31.01.20) After publication of the new ISO standard 12641-2 by the ISO committee, the new standard for the color calibration of scanners is valid with immediate effect.
