EFI has announced the availability and support of the new UGRA/Fogra (the Graphic Technology Research Associations of Switzerland (UGRA) and Germany (Fogra)) Media Wedge CMYK v2.2 for the HP Designjet Z Photo Printer Series. The media wedge is intended for the monitoring of digital proofs and can also be used as a digital control aid to monitor the effect of imaging in CMYK mode and other prepress work.
Designed for print service providers, photographers and artists, the Designjet Z Series are HP's first printers with an integrated spectrophotometer, offering an automated, intuitive experience in image reproduction. For contract proofing, it is essential that a media wedge is placed on a proof for measurement-based verification. The new UGRA/Fogra Media Wedge CMYK v2.2 layout is specifically designed to take advantage of the HP Designjet Z Series spectrophotometer, which is the industrys first to be embedded.
The new media wedge is already supported by EFI Colorproof XF in a way that proofs can be automatically printed, measured and verified.
