A cornerstone of the G7 Calibration method for the process color inks (CMYK) to conform to international standards, specifically ISO 12647-2. This standard defines the color of lithographic inks on various paper grades. However, it is necessary to characterize the inks independently of the paper. ISO 2846-1, instead, defines the color and transparency of lithographic inks within a specific ink film thickness range. Inks that conform to this standard will produce a similar color on the same substrate when printed at the appropriate ink film thickness.

Options and Required Materials
Inks can be evaluated individually, however it is more common for an entire set of four inks (CMYK) to be evaluated. A minimum of 4-ounces of ink is required for evaluation. Also, please include MSDS sheets for all inks.
