The target is designed for use, in the commercial and desktop arenas, as a comparative control tool to help customers calibrate their input product to the final output. This target maps the gamut of color space that EKTACHROME Film can reproduce.
When used properly, customers will be able to compare their output-whether it is separations for the printed page and four-color printing or second generation originals from a film recorder-to the original. This will help customers optimize the capabilities of their system for color reproduction of an extreme range of color gamut.
Scanner color characterization targets are produced in accordance with ANSI IT8.7/1 (transmission) and IT8.7/2 (reflection) Standards (or ISO 12641).
