Ghent Output Suite (EX
Print Server)
• These are two different tests to help a
printer comprehend how the Print Server
manages color, PostScript Overprint and
other common color print issues.
• The tests suites test and verify both PDFX-
1A and PDFX-3 capabilities.
• The files are specially designed for testing
digital output devices – primarily proofing
systems as well as conventional and digital
printing systems.
• In customer environments where tight
color controls are requirements, and/or
passing of the Altona Suite, Fogra
Media Wedge and Ghent Suite, it is
highly recommended to have EFI
Profiler to help maintain color
consistency.

Suite can be found at:

Fogra Media Wedge (EX
Print Server)
• The Fogra Media Wedge is a color proofing
bar used to monitor and measure color.
• It is a comparison tool, designed for
checking digital proofs against print
standards.
• To maintain tight consistency for this
industry standard requires EFI Profiler
to calibrate and profile engine.
• Profiler is recommended to calibrate
and profile both the monitor and press
and to inspect and measure the
output.
