For Repro & Prepress Studios

Validate the profile.
Certify the proof.

A proof that doesn't match the press, or an ICC profile that doesn't reflect actual press behavior, costs time and money for everyone. ChromaChecker gives repro studios the tools to catch mismatches before they reach production.

Where color goes wrong in prepress.

01

ICC profiles that don't reflect press reality

A profile built months ago on a different substrate with different ink lot may no longer accurately represent press behavior. Soft proofing based on a stale profile misleads everyone downstream.

02

Proofs approved on screen that fail on press

Display-to-press color matching requires both the monitor and the ICC profile to be accurate. When either drifts, the proof becomes unreliable — and the discrepancy is only discovered after production.

03

No objective data for color approval

Telling a client their proof is "close enough" without measurement data is risky. ChromaChecker generates ΔE 00 per-patch proof verification reports that make approval objective and defensible.

Key Tools

Precision tools for every prepress workflow.

ICC Profile Validation

ICC Profile Validation

Measure your press output against your ICC profile's prediction. ChromaChecker shows ΔE 00 per channel, per tint, and per gray balance point — so you know exactly where your profile is still accurate and where it needs rebuilding.

Proof Verification

Proof Verification

Measure a physical proof and compare it against your press reference. Get a per-patch ΔE 00 report. Know immediately whether the proof is a valid representation of production output.

P2P & Proof Bar Analysis

P2P & Proof Bar Analysis

Upload CGATS data from any P2P target or proofing bar. ChromaChecker computes full conformance analysis against ISO 12647, GRACoL, FOGRA, or a custom reference — in seconds.

Soft Proofing Alignment

Soft Proofing Alignment Check

Use ChromaChecker's substrate and paper white measurements to verify that your display soft proof is calibrated to the actual substrate being printed on — not a generic reference.
