Silverfast can create Device dependent CMYK data (e.g. offset) and wants its customers to get the most consistent, highest quality color output available. For this reason we are supplying a selection of ICC profiles as a free download for graphics professionals to use across their workflows. For the effective, safe and cost-saving workflow the following points need to be considered:

• the number of the used ICC profiles and the number of the associated digital proof standards should be as small as possible
• an orientation at international standards is the key for safe, stable and cost-saving colormangement workflows with compatibility to the well-known CMYK functions
• the color quality assurance in the context of the standards is the only possibility for CMYK data to be transferred in the further processing chain by appropriate control means (e.g. Fogra media wedge).

Here you can find the current standard offset profiles on basis of the Fogra characterization data for download. The new profiles replace the past profile versions from January 2003. The consistent employment of the new profiles is generally recommended, since they correspond both to the current conditions of the ISO standardization and represent in the standardized offset printing attainable results.
