II. Product
The ORIS Digital Proofing System™ consists of ORIS Color Tuner™software, Canon 6-color ink
set and ORIS digital proofing paper together with the following inkjet printers:
Canon imagePROGRAF™W6400 and W8400
III. Introduction
The Canon printers listed above in section (II) are non-halftone, digital inkjet devices. They utilize
Canon’s Bubble Jet,™six-chip head (C, M, Y, K, PC, PM) technology which, in combination with the
specified paper and ink, allows them to achieve photo reproduction quality continuous tone proofs.
This document contains CGS ORIS operating procedures for conformance to the SWOP Application
Data Sheet for this system per SWOP specifications. The SWOP Review Committee has approved
the use of off-press proofs as input material to publications. (Please see explanations and
recommendations as outlined on pages 21 and 22 of the 2001 edition of the SWOP Specifications.)
IV. Consumables
In order to closely simulate the appearance of a SWOP press proof, CGS specifies the use of the
following:
●CGS Media
ORIS PearlPROOF™ Publication semi-matte (PSMP) paper, 185 g/m2
●Canon Ink
Canon 6-color ink set for Canon W6400/W8400

V. System Set-Up
In order to ensure the quality and consistency CGS specifies that a CGS ORIS Digital Proof must be
run in a controlled and calibrated workflow. This workflow is described as follows:
●Examination of device
Using the Canon device control panel, check that the printer nozzles are printing smoothly and
alignment is correct. Please refer to individual Canon manuals for the specific procedures.
●Automatic Printer Calibration of device to Reference Printer Profile
Using the ORIS Color Tuner software application, perform an Automatic Printer Calibration of the
CANON printer to the Reference Printer Profile reference file provided by CGS:
http://www.cgsusa.com/downloads/SWOP/ORIS_SWOP_W6400-W8400_CanonInk.zip
For detailed automatic printer calibration procedures using ORIS Color Tuner™please refer to the
ORIS Color Tuner User’s Guide, Chapter 4-6 (Color Management).
VI. ORIS Digital Proof Control Strip
All proofs from the printer must print an ORIS Digital Proof Control Strip using ORIS Color Tuner™.
The control strip (figure 1) must fall within the specified CGS ORIS Digital Proof tolerance, defined in
the following section of this document.
The control strip (in TIFF or ORIS-specific DDP format) is available at the CGS USA web site:

VII. Final Proof Characteristics
All certified proofs must display the ORIS Digital Proof Control Strip. The control strip must be
checked for color quality using the following expected color and image characteristics.

*Delta E represent values within material color difference measured at target density
The above CIE LCh(ab) measurements were made using a calibrated GretagMacbeth Spectrolino with
GretagMacbeth KeyWizard software. All CIELCh values are in accordance with CGATS.5 Standard on Colorimetric
Calculations.
The TVI values were calculated using the Murray-Davies equation, Print Contrast as absolute. All calculations are in
accordance with the CGATS.4 Standard for densitometry.
The above density measurements were made using a calibrated GretagMacbeth Spectrolino with GretagMacbeth
KeyWizard software with absolute Status-T response, no filter, D50 illuminant and a 2°observer and black backing.
All density values are in accordance with CGATS. 4 Standard for densitometry.
