Please contact
sms@spot-nordic.com if you would like to order the following
products:
P6c / P6u
SKU: P6c or P6u: ISO
certified proof according to ISO 12647-7-2016 with customer's
SMS colour samples for sending out for quality control during production,
8 tickets pr. A4, 16 tickets pr. A3, 32 tickets pr. A2.
We recommend
attaching each colour sample to a job description for your
Printer/manufacturer, describing where in your layout your SMS colours are
to be found (Example: "Logos on pages 1, 5, 7 and 29, product images
on pages 1, 6, 7 and 19").
This is especially important in the case where your SMS
colours are printed in CMYK, since they become a part of your CMYK layout
and thus you need to pinpoint them if you want the Printer/operator to
pay attention to ensure that your SMS colours are kept correct from
beginning to the end of production.
or
SKU: P7c or P7u: ISO certified proof according to ISO 12647-7-2016 with colour samples of your logo / logos and other brand related artwork.
Intended for professional agency promotions of new design / new visual brand identity proposals primarily.
Perfect as a part of a printed brand standard for production partners - contact sms@spot-nordic.com for custom sizes.
Design by advertising agency / designer.
or
SKU: P8c or P8u: ISO certified
proof according to ISO 12647-7-2016. Proof can in this case contain
whatever - photographs, layout, text and graphics. In this case it is a
very good idea to insert those SMS colours that are used in said layout,
approx. 1,5 x 1,5 cm at least each colour along with a short description
on where each colour is to be found in the layout.
It is important for designers to keep in mind that unless it is made
clear where each SMS colour is within the layout, the Printer/operator is
"blind" and can basically only do his best to keep the job within the
normal parameters of his ISO standard and to ensure that the job is in
register.
Please contact us before you prepare your own PDF for SMS proofing
to ensure correct settings.

* In the
case where a customer requests an SMS colour to be adjusted for printing in
accordance to Fogra 39 or Fogra 47 (the old ISO standard), we can adjust for the difference in final dotgain between the new standard and
the old one and still assume printing on typical, commercially
available, bright white paper containing a typical amount of OBA for
both coated and uncoated paper (P10
and P12).
We have also added the options P9b
and P11b,
where the white point of the paper chosen for the print job is close to
being neutral white - i.e. not "typical". The LAB value of the paper
chosen for the job in this case is assumed to be according to the old
ISO 12647-2-2004 / AMD 2007, or 94, 0, -3.
We do not guaranty that the outcome will
be as good/as correct as with our standard colour combinations, which are
based on the new/current ISO standard but they are adopted as closely as
possible and should be very close to the original SMS colour(s). It is
possible to measure the actual white point of any substrate with an M1
condition enabled instrument.
