Spectral Proofing

The revolution of Device Independent Color (Changing from density matching to colorimetric matching) has completely changed the workflow (from analog to digital) of color reproduction and has made a tremendous impact on the Graphic Arts industry. Now, another color revolution is about to come. This will be the change from colorimetric matching to spectral matching. Colorimetric Matching matches color only for the average viewer when viewed under standard viewing conditions. Spectral Matching will match color under any viewing condition for any viewer. Therefore, this revolution will not just change the workflow but redefine the entire Printing and Publishing industry. In this paper, color proofing application using spectral matching technology will be discussed.
