Certifying jobs

Certifying jobs means that you check whether the proof’s colors are up to ISO or custom standards. The process goes as follows:
  1. You print a job with a Ugra/Fogra, ISO, IDEAlliance or PrintFactory control strip.
  2. You measure the values and compare these values with the tolerances allowed by the standard.
  3.  You save the result of this comparison in a certification report.
  4. You can print a summary on a label, which you can then attach to the proof.
