Idealliance unveils control wedge for print control

Idealliance, known for creating legendary print standards and specifications such as GRACoL, SWOP, and G7, and many ISO standards, has unveiled a Large Format-Industrial-Textile Printing Control Wedge to help users in wide format, industrial, and textile printing. The wedge is designed to help digital print users on non-traditional substrates.

The Idealliance Large Format-Industrial-Textile Printing Control Wedge was created by the Idealliance Print Properties and Colorimetric Council in order to support the wide format, industrial and textile print segment of the industry. The Idealliance Large Format-Industrial-Textile Printing Control Wedge is designed to help digital print users on non-traditional substrates exceptionally control their print processes and this Idealliance release is a first of its kind for this segment of the industry.

The Large Format-Industrial-Textile Printing Control Wedge is available at no cost from Idealliance. The control wedge comes in a variety of configurations, including default charts and reference files for the X-rite i1 Pro3 Plus, as well as the Barbieri Spectropad. These charts can be read with devices that have larger apertures, and work especially well in situations with uneven surfaces, textiles, and wide format printing.

“This chart will help wide format and users who print on non-traditional substrates,” said Tim Baechle, CEO of Idealliance. “It is another example of how Idealliance helps move the global supply chain, every segment and every print process within the industry. Idealliance has always led the development and implementation of colour management and process control in wide format, industrial, textile printing and all printing processes in the industry. We have been certifying companies, technologies, OEMs and individuals throughout the world for an extremely long time and this are another breakthrough from Idealliance that we are bringing to this segment in order to continue to lead and serve.”
