COLOR MANAGEMENT

To achieve optimal color results, please generate your data and proofs in accordance with the ICC profiles described below.
For precise process control, you should add a Ugra/Fogra media wedge to your color-accurate templates.
 
With regard to "non-periodic screening" (FM), no special proof adjustment (Fogra 43 and 44) should be made on your part, as we compensate for the increased tone value increase.

We are happy to assist you with any questions you may have regarding uncategorizable printing papers (e.g., volume paper) and general questions.
