The PRINTING United Alliance Print Properties Committee has just unveiled a new Uncoated UV Print Dataset and Standard Profile. This is a significant leap forward for those of us striving for precision and consistency in print production, especially when working with challenging substrates like uncoated materials. With this new dataset, printers, designers, and color experts gain access to more accurate profiling tools that improve the predictability and quality of UV ink printing on uncoated paper. It's an exciting step for our industry as we continue to refine and innovate in the realm of color management. Congratulations to the committee for their dedication to advancing print technology standards.

Idealliance’s Print Properties Committee announces the release of the new ECG 7 Color Profile & Dataset. Download your copy for free from iLEARNING+. https://lnkd.in/eBSaPNVw The new ECG profile developed by the Idealliance Print Properties Committee (PPC), now a division of PRINTING United Alliance, is designed to standardize extended color gamut printing and ensure consistent, repeatable results across different printing platforms, substrates, and devices. While there are existing ECG workflows in the market, many of them are proprietary or limited in scope. The Alliance’s new ECG profile is an open specification, making it accessible across the industry, from design to print. "This idea of the ECG profile is to do for 7 color printing what GRACoL did for CMYK print. This new ECG profile is a standard 7 color space that printers can easily print to, and designers can proof and create with knowing printers can hit these colors. The Alliance’s new ECG profile comes with guidelines to help professionals implement it in their workspaces." says Ron Ellis, Chair of the Print Properties Committee. Idealliance and PRINTING United Alliance would like to thank the contributions of industry experts and organizations spanning print technology and print production who actively support the Print Properties Committee ECG project.

In the world of design, manufacturing, and printing—color accuracy is critical. Ensuring that colors are communicated correctly from design to production across different software platforms, devices, and materials can be a challenging task. This is where the Color Exchange Format (CxF) comes into play.
