1 Introduction 

Features 

ORIS Certified Proof is an effective and easy-to-use quality control and 

certification system. It is a component of ORIS Certified Suite which also 

includes ORIS Certified Press and ORIS Certified Monitor. This is a suite 

of quality diagnostic tools designed to give printers ultimate quality control, 

from the prepress stage all the way to the pressroom. 

Proof and Press Sheet Verification 

A color bar on the proof is measured with a spectrophotometer. The software 

compares the Lab measurements against common industry standards 

such as SWOP, GRACoL or Fogra, or user-defined target values. 

You can use color bars of a printing standard or custom color bars. 

Press sheets can be measured and certified to the same industry or 

user-defined standards. 

Spot Colors 

Spot colors can be measured individually and compared to the stored 

library values of PANTONE® 1 , HKS or corporate colors. Spot color measurements 

can be saved and used as target values for proof verification. 

Reports and Trend Analysis 

The software gives you an instant pass/fail indication on the screen and 

also provides detailed reports and a trend analysis over time. The measurement 

results can also be output as a brief summary on a label. 

Integration with ORIS Color Tuner⁄⁄Web 

The software seamlessly integrates with ORIS Color Tuner⁄⁄Web, CGS’s 

contract proofing system.

Overview 

Before starting to work with ORIS Certified Proof you have to configure 

the program. Click on to open the SETTINGS dialog (see Fig. 2-1). 

Then click on one of the buttons displayed on the left: 

Create a list of your proof printers. The printer names can later be selected 

in the main window and are used for labels, reports and trend 

analyses. 

Create a list of the persons performing the measurements. These 

names can later be selected in the main window and are used for 

labels, reports and analyses. 

Select, configure and test your label printer. We recommend to use 

labels with a size of approximately 88 x 36 mm or larger. For DYMO 

printers you should set the paper size to 99012 LARGE ADDRESS. 

To include your company logo on labels and reports, select an image 

file with *.BMP format (Windows) or *.JPG format (Mac OS). 

Select, configure and test your measurement device. By default, the 

devices are set up for measuring according to the ISO standard. 

For Eye-One, specify whether strips or single patches are measured. 

If TECHKON devices are used, precisely specify the size of the 

color patches and the size of the gaps between them. We recommend 

a precision of two decimal places (see also page 8-19). 

Select a data source name (DSN) to establish the communication with 

an ORIS Color Tuner⁄⁄Web database running on a different computer 

on the local network. See below for more details. Leave the default 

DSN if ORIS Color Tuner⁄⁄Web runs on the same computer. 

Use the button to add entries to a list and to remove selected 

entries. Refer to page 8-13 for more details. 




Configuration 

Remote Access to Color Tuner Database 


Fig. 2-1 

‘Settings’ Dialog 


If ORIS Certified Proof has been installed together with ORIS Color Tuner⁄⁄Web, 

it is configured to access ORIS Color Tuner⁄⁄Web’s database. 

Thus users of ORIS Color Tuner⁄⁄Web are able to automatically certify 

their proof jobs. ORIS Certified Proof can display a list of proof jobs that 

need to be certified manually (see page 3-1). 

The same functionality is also available for stand-alone applications, i.e. 

if ORIS Color Tuner⁄⁄Web runs on a different computer. ORIS Certified 

Proof is capable of accessing the database of ORIS Color Tuner⁄⁄Web 

installations running on any computer on the local network. 

If the ORIS Color Tuner⁄⁄Web database is accessed from multiple 

installations of ORIS Certified Proof, the print targets will overwrite 

each other in the database. Therefore make sure the print targets are 

defined identically in all installations of ORIS Certified Proof. 





Configuration 


How to Set up Remote Database Access 

The following is required to establish the communication with an ORIS 

Color Tuner⁄⁄Web database via LAN: 

1. Select START | CONTROL PANEL | ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS | DATA

just configured. It is listed on the MACHINE DATA SOURCE tab. 




Configuration 



8. Click OK to close the dialog. The DSN appears in the input field. 

9. Click OK to close the dialog. 





3 Performing Measurements 

This chapter explains how to measure with ORIS Certified Proof to verify 

the quality of proofs, proofing systems and press sheets. 

These measurements will provide answers to the following questions: 

• Is the proofer color space large enough to correctly simulate a given 

printing standard? 

• Are there any density variations across the press sheet? Are the ink 

zone settings correct? 

Before you begin, make sure the program is configured accordingly (see 

page 2-1). See also Comparing Single Colors (page 5-1). 

Step 1: Select ORIS Color Tuner⁄⁄Web Job 

Note: 

If ORIS Color Tuner⁄⁄Web is installed, you can easily certify proof jobs 

printed with this software. Click on the QUERY…DATABASE button. 

This opens the list of jobs that were printed with ORIS Color Tuner⁄⁄Web 

and set to require certification. Double-click a job. The dialog closes and 

the job name and print target to be used appear in the main window. 

Then proceed with Step 5 (page 3-4). 

Having completed the measurement, the job will be removed automatically 

from the list of jobs to be certified. 

Fig. 3-1 

List of Jobs to be Certified 




Performing Measurements 

Step 2: Select Print Target 


Step 2: Select Print Target 

A print target defines the patches to be measured as well as the target 

values and tolerances. Select a print target in the main window (see Fig. 

3-2). 

ORIS Certified Proof provides predefined print targets for various standard 

printing conditions (see page 8-2). 

The selected print target is indicated on the title bar of the main window. 

Fig. 3-2 

Main Window – Print Target Selection 

Step 3: Create or Customize Print Target 

If your company has its own printing standard and color bar, you can customize 

the predefined print targets. If you need print targets for measuring 

press sheets (density), you have to create them. Proceed as follows: 

1. Click on to open the DEFINE PRINT TARGET dialog. 

2. Click on NEW in the list of PRINT TARGETS, or select the print target to 

be modified from this list (see Fig. 3-3). 

3. Enter a name into the TARGET NAME box, or overwrite the existing 

name if the original print target should be left unchanged. 

4. When creating print targets for press sheets, set the MEASUREMENT 

VALUES option to DENSITIES (see Fig. 3-3). 

5. Refer to page 8-1 for details on the other dialog options. 







Step 4: Enter Measurement Details 

Tips 

• You can define color bars by measurement (see page 8-5) or by 

importing spot colors from a spot color library (see page 5-1). 

• For density measurements, use a color bar containing primary colors 

only. Non-primary colors will be skipped during measurement. 

• Density tolerances are relative values. If the maximum negative 

tolerance is 10% and the target density is 2.0, for example, density 

values ranging from 1.8 to 2.0 are within the tolerance limits. 

Fig. 3-3 

Customizing a Print Target 

Step 4: Enter Measurement Details 

Specify the details which clearly identify the measurement you are about 

to make (see Fig. 3-4). 

• PROOF PRINTER: Device on which the proof was output 

• USER: Your name 

• JOB: Publication, edition, page number, etc. 

• INFO TEXT: Any comment you like (optional) 

A unique measurement ID is created automatically. 

The details will be included in measurement files and reports and printed 

on labels. The details of proof measurements can also be used as filters 

in the trend analysis function (see page 6-1). 





Step 5: Start Measuring 


Fig. 3-4 

Main Window – Measurement Details 

Step 5: Start Measuring 

Click this button in the main window to start the measurement 

process. Follow the instructions that appear at the bottom of the 

window. See also Measuring Tips (page 7-1). 

Spectrophotometers may request you to place the device on its 

base. A white calibration will then be performed. If density values 

are measured relative to the paper white, you also have to 

place the device on a white area of your substrate. 

Click this button in case of measurement mistakes or erroneous 

results. The last strip or patch measurement will be dismissed 

and you can repeat it. 

If this button is clicked at the end of the measurement process, 

the entire measurement will be dismissed and not added to the 

data collected for trend analysis (see page 6-1). 

Click this button if you want to cancel the measuring process. It 

is not necessary to press this button after completing the measurement 

process. The next job can be measured directly. 

Loading Measurement Files 

If the color bar has been measured already, click this button 

to load the measurement file. 

Step 6: Evaluate Results 

Having completed the measurement, the program displays the result 

and checks it against the target and tolerance values. 






Step 6: Evaluate Results 

Pass/Fail Indication 

The icon at the bottom of the main window indicates the overall result: 

OK – All values are within the tolerance limits 

Error – One or more values are out of tolerance 

If 2-level tolerances have been defined, there is an additional icon: 

OK – All measurements are within the strict tolerance limits 

Caution – All measurements are within the standard tolerance limits 

Error – One or more values are out of tolerance

-2-LEVEL TOLERANCES (PAGE 8-13) 

Deviation Values 

Note: 

Some characteristic deviation values are also indicated (see Fig. 3-5): 

• Delta E and delta H values (proofs) 

Indicate compliance with the selected printing standard. 

dH values can also be negative. This depends on the direction of the 

hue angle deviation in the LCh color space. The absolute value (without 

the sign) indicates the degree of this deviation. 

• Density deviations (press sheets) 

Relative deviations from the respective target values in percent. 

Deviations from 0 are indicated as absolute values. 

The names of color patches with maximum values are indicated in parentheses. 

The character after a parenthesis indicates the color name. 

Out-of-tolerance values are indicated in red. Further details about 

these values are available in the report (see page 4-1). 

Fig. 3-5 

Deviation Values (Lab and Density Measurement) 





Step 7: Print Label 


Color Bar 

The color bar displays the target values and the actual values you have 

measured. The first strip appears as soon as you have finished measuring 

it. This allows you to recognize measurement errors immediately. 

The color with the largest deviation is underlined in red. 

If you place the cursor on a color patch, the Lab or density values, respectively, 

are displayed in a small yellow window. The target values appear 

at the top, the actual values at the bottom. The dE values are additionally 

indicated as soon as the measurement has been completed.

Color Bar with Target and Actual Colors 

Step 7: Print Label 

Having completed the measurement, a label is printed automatically, if 

this has been specified. If it hasn’t, you can print it manually by clicking 

on the button. 

The label provides a summary of the measurement results. The icons 

and indicate whether all values are within the tolerance limits. 

The icon indicates that some of the values are outside the strict tolerances, 

but none outside the standard tolerances (2-level tolerances). 

The label should be signed by the operator and affixed to the proof or 

press sheet. Together with the color bar, the label clearly indicates the 

proof’s or press sheet’s quality and identity.

• DATA – Data table (see below) 

• COLOR SPACES – Color space diagram (see page 4-4) 

Unavailable for density measurements (press sheets) and print 

targets defined without a CMYK reference file (see page 8-4). 

The data table allows you to precisely inspect the Lab values measured 

for every color patch and the calculated delta values. This table is provided 

online (REPORT dialog) and also included in the printed report. 

The following is displayed for every color patch: 

• Patch color and name 

• CMYK reference values (printed table only) 

• CIE Lab values (TGT = target, ACT = actual) 

• Lab differences (delta E, delta L, delta a, delta b) 

• Difference in hue (DH) and chromaticity (DC) 

• Tolerance values (printed table only) 

• Pass/fail indication in green or red (printed table only) 

The online table can be sorted by clicking on any of the column headers. 

The sorting order is maintained when the table is printed.

6 Long-Term Control and 

Trend Analysis 

It is not only important to analyze individual measurements, but also to 

monitor color over time. This can be done using the TREND ANALYSIS tool. 

This tool allows you to keep track of color drifts and to find out when 

recalibration is required, for example. It also shows you the tolerance 

values that can be met in practice by calibrating your system regularly. 

Click 

in the main window to open the TREND ANALYSIS dialog. 

Note: 

It is not possible to analyze density measurements with this tool. 

‘Trend Analysis’ Dialog

Long-Term Control and Trend Analysis 



Selecting Measurements 

Use the options at the top right to select 

the measurements to be included in the 

trend analysis (see figure). The delta E 

curves will be updated automatically. 

Note that the input boxes are case sensitive. 

Only measurements which meet 

all of the specified criteria are displayed. 

In the diagram, the measurements are 

displayed on the x-axis (the IDs are listed 

if there is enough room) and the delta E values on the y-axis. The 

total number of selected measurements is displayed at the top. The 

measurement date and ID appear in a small yellow window when you 

place the cursor next to a measurement. 

Compressed Diagrams 

If you have selected more measurements than specified under COM- 

PRESS DIAGRAM FROM…, a certain number of measurements will be 

combined and displayed as one. In this case the heading of the diagram 

reads …MEASUREMENTS (COMPRESSED). 

To see all measurements individually, enter the number of measurements 

you have selected into the COMPRESS DIAGRAM FROM… box. However, 

this may cause the diagram to become extremely difficult to read. 

Hiding and Displaying Curves 

Use the options at the bottom right to select 

the delta E curves that should be displayed on 

the left. 

Every curve is displayed in a different color. 

The meaning of these colors is explained by 

abbreviations which appear to the right of the diagram.

Use the TOLERANCES option to display the tolerance limits. They are represented 

as dashed lines in the color of the respective delta E curves. 

This option is only available if the same standard tolerances were used 

for all of the selected measurements. 

Delta H curves are only displayed if measurements with ‘ISO 12647-7 

color bar’ tolerances are selected (see page 8-7). Delta H values are 

always displayed as positive numbers, even if they are negative. 

Curves for gray and skin tones are only displayed if measurements 

with SICOGIF tolerances have been selected. 

Zooming In 

By default, the scale used for the y-axis is set such that all delta E curves 

are completely visible. To closely inspect lower delta E values, you can 

set the maximum delta E value displayed on the y-axis to a lower value. 

Select this value from the list titled MAX DE AXIS. The diagram becomes 

more detailed, since more intermediate delta E values are displayed.

Miscellaneous 



Loading Measurements 

Using the button you can load measurement files, e.g. those of 

previous measurements or measurements made with another program. 

These files must comply with the IT8.7 or CGATS.5 file format. 

Using the measurements you have loaded can be added to the 

data records collected for creating trend analyses (see page 6-1). 

Using the measurements you have added can be removed from 

the data stored for trend analysis. 

You can also load the measurements of large test charts (e.g. 

ECI2002 or IT8.3). The program automatically extracts the values of 

the relevant color patches, e.g. the patches of the FOGRA bar. This 

requires that all of these patches are available on the test chart. 

Repeating or Canceling Measurements 

When you click on , the button changes to . This button allows 

you to cancel the measuring process. 

It is not necessary to press the button when the measurement is 

completed. But you can do so if you want to repeat the white calibration. 

Some spectrophotometers perform a white calibration whenever you 

click on the button. 

Click in case of measurement mistakes. The last strip or patch 

measurement will be dismissed and you can repeat it. 

If this button is clicked at the end of the measurement process or after 

loading a measurement file, the entire measurement will be dismissed 

and not added to the data collected for trend analysis (see page 6-1). 

You can click repeatedly, e.g. to dismiss the measurements of 

several patches or of two color strips at the same time. 





Miscellaneous 


Color Bar Geometry for Eye-One 

Color bars can only be scanned automatically with Eye-One if they have 

a particular geometry: 

• There must be a white area to the left and right of every strip. The 

minimum width of this area must be the width of a color patch. 

• Color patches must have a minimum width of 8 mm. If neighboring 

patches are similar in color, there must be a gap between them. 

Strip Scanning with DTP41/45 

1. Center the color strip below the alignment mark and insert it into the 

strip entrance as far as it will go. 

2. Press the instrument button. The DTP41/45 pulls the strip through 

automatically and measures the color patches. 

The LED on the DTP41/45 flashes if an error occurs during measurement. 

In this case make sure the number of color patches and the 

measurement geometry has been set correctly in ORIS Certified 

Proof, then repeat this process. 

3. Measure the second color strip (if any) in the same way. 

Strip Scanning with Eye-One 

1. Place the scanning ruler on the printed sample and align the guide 

slot on the upper row of color patches. 

2. Place the measuring head of the Eye-One on the white area to the 

left of the color bar. 

3. Press the instrument button and wait for a beep to signal that the 

device is ready. Instructions on how to perform the measurement are 

displayed at the bottom of the dialog. 

4. Hold the device button pressed down and move the measuring head 

slowly and steadily over the color patches (in about 6 seconds). 

5. Release the button when you have reached the end of the row. If the 

measurement was successful, the color patches you have measured 

are displayed in the dialog. 

6. If the color bar consists of multiple strips, measure the next strip in 

the same way. 




Miscellaneous 



If a color bar has to be measured in the single-patch mode, make sure 

to do this in the correct order. Start with the strip at the top and measure 

the patches from left to right. 

Strip Scanning with SpectroJet and RS 800 

1. Make sure you have precisely specified the size of the color patches 

and the size of the gaps between them. You should use a precision 

of two decimal places (see page 8-19). 

2. Place the instrument’s measuring head on the white area to the left 

of the color bar, very close to the first patch. Precisely align the edge 

of the measurement device parallel to your color bar. Don’t leave any 

space between the device and color bar (see Fig. 7-1). 

3. Press the button on the device once (SpectroJet) or twice like a double 

click (RS 800), respectively. 

A beep indicates that the device is ready. Instructions on how to perform 

the measurement are displayed at the bottom of the dialog. 

4. Glide the device over the color bar until a beep indicates that the last 

patch has been measured. If the measurement was successful, the 

color patches you have measured are displayed in the dialog. 

5. If the color bar consists of multiple strips, measure the next strip in 

the same way.

USE STANDARD TOLERANCES 

Enable this option to use the tolerances and DELTA E FORMULA of a particular 

printing standard. The available standards are listed below. 

Disable it if you want to enter your own tolerance values or to use another 

DELTA E FORMULA. Enter the tolerances into the input boxes further 

down below in the dialog. The selected DELTA E FORMULA determines 

whether color deviations are interpreted as delta E, dE94, or dE2000. 

The USE STANDARD TOLERANCES option is only available for Lab print targets. 

Some of the tolerance input boxes are unavailable if SINGLE TOL- 

ERANCES are enabled (see page 8-11).

DELTA E FORMULA 

The DELTA E FORMULA defines the calculation method for color deviations. 

This option is only available if you have selected an Lab print 

target and disabled the USE STANDARD TOLERANCES option. 

Delta E 

Numerical value that represents the ‘distance’ between two colors in the 

CIE Lab color space. This formula was introduced in 1976 and is therefore 

also known as ‘Delta E 1976’. 

Delta E 94 

A variant of the Delta E color distance formula published in 1994. It gives 

more weight to chroma, which comes closer to what the human eye perceives. 

Delta E 2000 

Revision of the Delta E 94 formula, released in 2000. 

Unlike Delta E 94, which assumes that L* correctly reflects the perceived 

differences in lightness, delta E 2000 varies the weighting of L* depending 

on where in the lightness range the color falls. 

Delta E CMC 

Color difference formula adopted by the Colour Measurement Committee 

of the Society of Dyers and Colourists of Great Britain in 1984. It describes 

color differences in the CIE LCh color space. 

The human eye is more sensitive to chroma. Therefore, this formula 

uses an equation which allows the setting of lightness and chroma factors. 

CMC 2:1 means that lightness has twice the weighting of chroma. 







Tolerance Input Boxes 

Enter the tolerance values here (see Fig. 8-5). A tolerance is the maximum 

deviation from the target value that is still acceptable. 


-USE STANDARD TOLERANCES (PAGE 8-7) 

-SINGLE TOLERANCES (PAGE 8-11) 


Tolerances for Lab Colors 

If the USE STANDARD TOLERANCES option is enabled, the tolerance values 

defined by the respective printing standard are used automatically. Refer 

to page 8-7 for more details. 

If you disable this option, you can adjust the tolerance values according 

to your requirements. 

Tolerances for Density 

You can specify the following tolerances: 

• Average of negative deviations 

• Average of positive deviations 

• Maximum of negative deviations 

• Maximum of positive deviations 

These tolerances are relative values. If the maximum negative tolerance 

is 10% and the target density is 2.0, for example, density values ranging 

from 1.8 to 2.0 are within the tolerance limits. 

Fig. 8-5 

Tolerance Input Boxes for Lab (left) and Density (right) 

SINGLE TOLERANCES 

Enable this option and click the EDIT button to open the SINGLE TOLER- 

ANCES dialog (see Fig. 8-6). It allows you to enter a separate tolerance 

value for every patch. In the case of Lab print targets, this applies to 

delta E tolerances. 







This option is only available if USE STANDARD TOLERANCES is disabled. 

Some of the tolerance input boxes, such as dE paper or primaries, 

become unavailable if single tolerances are defined. 

‘Single Tolerances’ Dialog 

1. Click on a table row (see Fig. 8-6). This will automatically open an input 

box. If a table row is selected already, you have to double-click it. 

You can also use the and keys to select the next or previous 

color patch. 

2. Enter a tolerance value for the selected color patch. 

If the 2-LEVEL TOLERANCES option is enabled, you can enter two different 

tolerance values (see page 8-13). 

Fig. 8-6 

‘Single Tolerances’ Dialog 







2-LEVEL TOLERANCES 

This option is only available for Lab print targets. Enable it to define two 

sets of tolerance values (see Fig. 8-7): 

Low value, strict tolerance limit 

High value, standard tolerance limit 

If you have defined two-level tolerances, one of the following icons 

appears after you have completed a measurement: 

All measurements are within the strict tolerance limits 

All measurements are within the standard tolerance limits 

One or more values are outside the standard tolerance limits 

Note: 

Two-level tolerances are used automatically for the SICOGIF standard.

printing standards, i.e. under

The file names indicate the measurement device to be used. When using 

DTP20, you first have to measure a TID strip. The names of theses 

files are similar to those of the corresponding color bars (…TID.tif). 

Reference files (*.txt) are available under …\Standards\…\Reference\. 

These files define the number of patches to be measured and their 

CMYK color values. They can be loaded when creating a print target.
