Color Reference Kit, reference images and printings:
The reference image of the Color reference Kit is declined on digital version and printed version. It is recorded on the CD-Rom. It is available on TIF and JPG format on 150 and 300 dpi resolutions. A high resolution A4 reference image printed on high quality photo paper is furnished. Reference image and printing can be used together or separately at the time of a print or screen display testing, as spaces conversions.
A PDF manual user is included on the CD-Rom : methods to test and authenticate calibration of graphic chain peripherals, determine abilities to an accurate colors rendering with the Color reference Kit ...

Complementary solution to colorimeters and spectrophotometers:
The Color Reference Kit can be adding to a screen or printer measure systems (colorimeter, spectrophotometer). Whatever the hardware or software part used, it permits to test a graphic chain as:
- To evaluate and adjust the display and the calibration of a monitor (LCD and CRT),
- To authenticate setting and options of a printing driver,
- To determine rendering ability of a specific trio ICC profile/paper/inks,
- To test quality of laboratories printings (online or traditional)
- To evaluate on Photoshop result of the conversions of colorimetric spaces.
On image treating as well as in post-production, the Color Reference Kit is an adapted tool to colorimetric managing of a graphic chain. As well in its conception as its manufacturing, it possesses every requirements of high quality reference tool :
* It proposes a digital image with its reference printing in the same unity,
* This reference image integrate specific color patches (RVB, CMJN) and grey scale,
* It shows known elements of colors and texture,
* It contains portraits with various skin colors and detailed hairs,
* It renders details in low and high lights.
