The Functions of UPPCT

The main test window is opened in the middle of the display. The software starts with the tab "Measure". The measuring device and the used wedge or test chart are selected.

A valid proof or print requires information about the job, the printer, the used paper, the ink type as well as the assigned print profiles. All these information can be documented in the tab "Info".

In the tab "Evaluation" the reference, such as ISO coated v2 (FOGRA39), the evaluation method can be selected. With this window a short summary and information about the print standard are displayed. A total of three different evaluations are possible:

according to ISO 12647-2 for prints
according to ISO 12647-7 for proofs
according to Ugra Proof Standard

The TVI window shows the tone value increase for each color. Information of the print standards as well as the reference are displayed as well.

The report tool shows the a summary of the measurement and detailed measurement results, such as CMYK tolerances, L*a*b* tolerances, measured L*a*b*, DeltaE and DeltaH values for each measured patch of the evaluated wedge. The result of the TVI can be included in the report. The report can be saved as PDF file.

The following measurement types are supported for export:

Spectral values
CIELAB values
TVI data

UPPCT provides reports in PDF and prints labels.
