Roman 16 bvdm-reference pictures
Visual assessment, processing and output in media pre-media and printing, map, brochure (DIN A4, 64 pages) German/English, Booklet 2DVDs with 16 reference pictures RGB/CMYK, 2007
All roman 16 bvdm reference pictures are specially developed test motives for visual assessment, processing and output in media pre-media and printing. They allow comprehensive statements about colour reproduction and details of the image reproduction in the production process. Roman 16 reference pictures consist of digital data on a DV-ROM and relevant documentation.
The DVD-ROM contains data sets of the images in ECI-RGB colour mode as CMYK-separations at a 700 dpi resolution.
The CMYK files are available as 16 bit and 8 bit data. They were converted in Adobe Photoshop CS3 with Adobe (ACE) CMM (Colour Matching Module) and perceptual rendering intent into ISO Coated v2 (ECI). The current FOGRA39 characterisation data, the current ISO Coated v2 (ECI) and the RGB profile eciRGB v2 are also on the DVE-ROM.
The series of roman16 bvdm Reference Images from the Bundesverband Druck und Medien e.V. (bvdm) has been created to allow the whole print and, in particular, pre-media production sequence to be checked and assessed. The objective was to develop a series of motifs that formed an aesthetically unified family whilst on the other hand displaying image criteria that are important for their intended purpose as a test system. Long experience has shown that images with a small number of objects are suitable for test purposes. It is important that the problem points are readily and quickly apparent even to new users without words and long searches. The Reference Images reflect this.
The CD-Rom with booklet Windows/Mac can be obtained via your responsible Federation.
