Ugra/Fogra Media Wedge Fiery Graphic Arts Package, Premium Edition 30 Ugra/Fogra Media Wedge The Ugra/Fogra Media Wedge CMYK v2.0 is a control device used to evaluate hard copy proofs. Adding the Ugra/ Fogra Media Wedge to any job allows you to check the color accuracy and consistency of the printer by measuring the colors in the Ugra/Fogra Media Wedge with a measurement instrument and comparing the measurements to reference values. Ugra (the Graphic Technology Research Association of Switzerland) and Fogra (the Graphic Technology Research Association of Germany) are organizations that support standardization and quality control of graphics technology. Together, they developed the Ugra/Fogra Media Wedge. The Ugra/Fogra Media Wedge, as printed on the C9 Server, includes the standard color patches as well as static information required by Ugra/Fogra, such as the printer resolution and C9 Server model name. You can use the Ugra/Fogra Media Wedge to compare digital proofs with print standards, print runs with print standards, and digital proofs with print runs. It was originally designed to check the accuracy and consistency of CMYK values when compared to the international ISO 12642 standard, but this is not its exclusive usage. When the Ugra/Fogra Media Wedge is printed in a job, you can measure the color accuracy and consistency of the output device for any printing condition. Note: This version of the Ugra/Fogra Media Wedge is different from the Ugra/Fogra Media Wedge used in the Integrated Altona Visual Test.
