Kodak Proofing Software 4.2 provides tools for administrators to manage proofing systems, color standards, ICC profiles, spot colors, media configurations, and calibration of proofers. It allows users to submit files for proofing, view proof status and errors, track media calibration, and view reports on color performance over time. The software helps to ensure color confirmation and avoid costly printing errors.

proofing software. It also provides simple tools to install/upgrade their
software as well as enhance their collection of media configurations and
color bars to support proofing to a wide variety of color standards.

with the color standards specified for that job, helping printers and print
buyers communicate and confirm color expectations, thereby avoiding
costly errors before going to press.
The Color Confirmation Wizard allows the user to check the color

libraries using Kodak Proofing Software's intuitive Color Database Error.
Kodak also provides several standard spot color libraries such as PANTONE
CMYK libraries.

28. Need to create simulation device link profiles for process colors? The Kodak
Proofing Software Proofer Administrator gives the user the ability to create
CMYK-CMYK device links using press or source characterization data
measured from a printed ECI 2002, IT8 7/4 or IT87/3 chart.
Moreover, if the characterization charts are printed with a flexo printing
process that
uses a highlight bump or highlight minimum dot (cutoff), Kodak Proofing

thresholds? Kodak Proofing Software's Media Configuration Editor lets users
tailor Kodak Media (or their own custom media) characteristics to fit their
processes.

their custom media to enable them to use it in the Certified Process for
Color Confirmation.

from all iterations and gives the tightest quality control. The Precision
Calibration Wizard guides users through the process of getting the tightest
calibrations for their media. It can also perform the process itself using
Kodak Proofing Software's automated calibration and measurement feature
