The Version 6.0 Test Forms come in the following sizes:

• 25 x 38 – 4, 6, 8 color
• 19 x 25 – 4, 6, 8 color

Each of these test forms incorporate many targets to help printers diagnose problems on press, including targets that focus on resolution, registration, image fit, mottle, and gray balance. The forms also include tone scales, vignettes, ladder targets, color bars, digital register analysis targets, and quality control photographs. Each test form is accompanied by an extensive user’s guide that outlines each of the targets and describes how to use the form to produce quality print.

A new unique feature of this product is the color management designation area within the form. There is an area left intentionally blank on these test forms where the user is able to drop in any color management target they might require, many of which are included on the CD with the form. Included are the ANSI IT8.7/4-2005 target and the ECI 2002 target as well as Printing Industries of America’s Photo Montage page that can be used for visual evaluation of the press’s conditions. This enables printers to test the press both mechanically and visually when needs arise. It also allows printers a space to incorporate their own test targets as well as artwork, cartons, and labels for specific clients.
