Motivation
• Harmonizing conformance assessment activities is a major task for TC130/WG13.
• The starting point for executing this task is interpreting the ‘shalls’ contained in the TC130’s standards.
– Most aims are clearly defined. Grey Reproduction aims are the exception to this rule.
– Tolerances are more challenging. The tolerances contained in TC130 standards share a number of limitations:
• Within the body of TC130 standards, the metrics (ΔEab, ∆E00, ΔH, ∆Ch, etc.) used to set tolerances for similar aims lack consistency.
• One tolerance is assumed to work in all applications, in spite of the fact some applications are substantially more color critical than others.

Background & Purpose
• TC130/WG3 has overall responsibility for setting aims and tolerances in Graphic Arts standards.
– New insights to overcoming the limitations of current aims and tolerances are evolving.
• The purpose of this presentation is to: – Present current work in the areas of Grey Reproduction and Tolerance
Harmonization.
– Determine if WG13 feels this work could contribute to its mission of harmonizing assessment procedures.
– Determine if WG13 believes we should seek the leadership of WG3 to incorporate these concepts into its portfolio of standards.

Harmonizing Grey Reproduction

Grey Reproduction • Solid tone and TVI control the behavior of individual
printing units.
• Grey reproduction extends Solids & TVI control in several important ways:
– It captures the impact of overprinting effects, i.e., ink transparency & trapping.
– It includes the impact of paper color on printed neutrals.
• For these reasons, grey reproduction is becoming an important process control parameter.
– As the need to assess grey reproduction conformance increases, the limitations of current assessment methods are increasingly problematic.

Limitations of Current Methods
• Current methods compare printed neutrals using predefined triplets to theore5cal grey ramps.
• This method introduces several limita5ons: 1. The predefined triplets are not necessarily neutral.
2. Conformance to the theore5cal grey ramps is judged qualita5vely -‐-‐ there are no numeric tolerances.
3. The assessment of neutral appearance is limited to the chroma5c dimension (a*, b*), not L* dimension.

Current Method – Version 1
• Use pre-‐defined triplet device values. • Measure printed patches colorimetrically. • Plot grey reproduc5on (a*/b* vs %Dot) & compare to
the substrate-‐based grey ramp (SBGR) as done by IDEAlliance.

Current Method – Version 2
• Grey reproduc5on may be ploVed using a*/b* vs. L* as proposed in ISO/WD 12647-‐2 (2010). • Varia5on of prin5ng are expressed as non-‐overlapping data points. • No pass/fail decision because there are no colorimetric aims.

Overcoming Limitations Using a Dataset
1. Star5ng from pre-‐defined CMY triplets.
• e.g., Media Wedge, P2P
2. Finding their colorimetric aims via the ICC profile of the target dataset.
• e.g., ISO Coated v2, GRACoL (2006)
• Absolute Colorimetric Rendering intent

Substrate-corrected Colorimetric Aims (SCCA)
3. Use tris5mulus linear equa5ons in ISO 13655 (Annex A) to adjust the target dataset for produc5on stock. – This method works for any color, including grey.

Conformance Assessment with Dataset 4. This chart shows the SCCA in terms of substrate
corrected grey reproduc5on aims. – Grey reproduc5on conformance can now be assessed versus the
colorimetric values of the triplets, not just based on the paper color.

Conformance Assessment with Dataset 5. Compare measured grey reproduc5on to the substrate-‐
corrected grey reproduc5on aims. • By adop5ng this method, we can introduce quan5ta5ve tolerances for
chroma5c and L* errors. • Two case studies demonstrate how the use of SCCAs overcomes the
limita5ons of current conformance assessment methods.

• Grey reproduction convergence – Good convergence (left); Partial convergence (middle)
– Poor convergence (right) is a function of ink set.

• ∆L* and ∆Ch are parameters describing the extent of the neutrality between substrate-corrected colorimetric aims (SCCA) and measurement of the triplets.
∆L* = L1* - L2*
L1, a1, and b1 are substrate-corrected colorimetric aims (SCCA). L2, a2, and b2 are measurements of the CMY triplets.

Grey Reproduction Conformance
• Option 1 – Compute weighted ∆Ch for all 23 triplets and determine pass/fail
based on the average not to exceed 1.5 ∆Ch and max not to exceed 3.0 ∆Ch.
• Option 2 – Grey reproduction conformance, based on 3 triplets, has 82%
agreement with Option 1 when the following tolerances are applied.
• (25C 19M 19Y) at 2 ∆Ch
• (50C 40M 40Y) at 3 ∆Ch
• (75C 66M 66Y) at 4 ∆Ch

Case Study I & II – Grey Reproduction
• Summary – Having predefined triplets, available from standard color control
targets, simplifies grey reproduction conformance assessment.
– Three triplets, at quarter-tone, midtone and three quarter-tone, e.g., as specified in ISO/WD 12647-2 (2010), are sufficient for grey reproduction conformance assessment.
– Standard-writing bodies can specify target colorimetric aims for these triplets from the target dataset.
– End users can convert target colorimetric aims into Substrate-Corrected Colorimetric Aims for conformance assessment.

Harmonizing Tolerances

21
Conceptual Framework
• One of limitations in the tolerances contained in TC130 standards is that
– One tolerance is assumed to work in all applications, in spite of the fact some applications are substantially more color critical and other applications are less.
• Work conducted over the past three months has opened a path for overcoming these limitations.
![Page 22: WG13 N 0009 - Rochester Institute of Technologyrycppr.cias.rit.edu/ISO/N009 GreyRepro_Metric_Tol.pdfISO/TC 130/WG13, Berlin, Germany 3/29/11!

22
Universal Tolerance Schema
* This schema assumes the use of substrate corrected colorimetric aims (SCCA) to overcome the limitations of target aims tied to standard paper types.
• The consistency of tolerance metrics could be improved by adopting a universal tolerance schema.
• To demonstrated the concept, we created this chart:
![Page 23: WG13 N 0009 - Rochester Institute of Technologyrycppr.cias.rit.edu/ISO/N009 GreyRepro_Metric_Tol.pdfISO/TC 130/WG13, Berlin, Germany 3/29/11!

23
Conceptual Framework
• Building on such a schema, it is possible to create a family of tolerances for each relevant aim.
– Tolerances would range from relaxed to normal to stringent, designed to balance application needs and process capability.
• Tolerances for grey reproduction (∆Ch, ∆L*) are good candidates for creating such a family. The table below illustrates the concept.
![Page 24: WG13 N 0009 - Rochester Institute of Technologyrycppr.cias.rit.edu/ISO/N009 GreyRepro_Metric_Tol.pdfISO/TC 130/WG13, Berlin, Germany 3/29/11!

24
Conceptual Framework
• Finally, the tolerance schema could be published as a separate standard.
• Such a tolerance standard would allow other Graphic Arts Standards to focus on aims.
• Standard specific aims could then be combined with relevant tolerances from the tolerance standard to provide the basis for conformance assessment.

Discussion
3/29/11
• Does WG13:
– Agree that clarifying Grey Reproduction and Harmonizing Tolerances could contribute to its mission of harmonizing assessment procedures?
– Believe that it should seek the leadership of WG3 to incorporate these concepts into TC130’s portfolio of standards?
