Why use a Verification Test Target?
Spectrophotometer devices are sensitive instruments and can drift from the manufacturers tolerance range for various reasons, such as lack of care and cleaning, or for environmental issues. Proper measurement practices are key to effective process control and assuring consistent brand color and proof-to-print matches. Using an instrument that has drifted out of compliance costs companies thousands of dollars in lost time, bad proofs, re-work, and lost customer confidence.
How does the Verification Test Target work?
- The first step in proper measurement control is to set a baseline for your measurement device by using the IDEAlliance Verification Test Target to record the measurements of your new or factory re-certified spectrophotometer.
- Use your instrument to measure the patches on the target and record the measurements.
- Take measurements on a regular basis and compare the data over time to determine if your instrument is stable.
- If the data trends out of the manufacturer’s specified tolerances, then you need to take corrective action!
