G7 Proofing & Contract Proofing 2

Question 1

What is the minimum bit depth recommended for a display used in professional G7 soft proofing?

Accepted Answer

10-bit

Answer

6-bit

Answer

8-bit

Answer

12-bit

Question 2

In soft proofing software, enabling 'Simulate Paper Color' achieves what primary effect?

Accepted Answer

Simulates the white point and optical brightener effect of the target substrate

Answer

Adds a paper texture overlay to the on-screen image

Answer

Maps all white values to the D50 standard illuminant

Answer

Increases display luminance to match press ink reflectance

Question 3

Which standard defines the viewing conditions used when evaluating proofs and printed samples in graphic arts?

Accepted Answer

ISO 3664

Answer

ISO 12647-2

Answer

CGATS.5

Answer

DIN 16536

Question 4

What is the purpose of measuring an IT8.7/4 target on a proofing device?

Accepted Answer

To characterize the proofer's full color response and build an accurate ICC output profile

Answer

To measure press halftone dot gain

Answer

To calibrate the spectrophotometer before use

Answer

To set up G7 press transfer curves

Question 5

A G7-compliant proof must primarily demonstrate correct:

Accepted Answer

Neutral gray balance and Neutral Print Density Curve (NPDC) conformance

Answer

Maximum ink density on solid CMYK patches

Answer

Exact Pantone spot color matching for all jobs

Answer

Minimum dot gain values across all ink channels

Question 6

When building a proof ICC profile, black point compensation (BPC) primarily affects:

Accepted Answer

How shadow detail is mapped from the source color space to the proofer's gamut

Answer

The maximum ink coverage allowed on the proofing device

Answer

The luminance of highlight patches on the proof

Answer

The rendering of spot colors in the output

Question 7

During soft proofing, an out-of-gamut warning indicates that:

Accepted Answer

Colors in the source document cannot be reproduced by the simulated output device

Answer

The display ICC profile has become outdated and needs recalibration

Answer

The rendering intent is incorrectly set to Perceptual instead of Relative Colorimetric

Answer

The monitor's calibration has drifted from its target white point
