Esko Pack Proof Secures Fogra55 Certification - News

Esko Pack Proof has made history as the first image processing software to earn the prestigious Fogra55 certification for the Extended Color Gamut (ECG) printing process. This breakthrough adds to its already impressive Fogra39 and Fogra51 certifications, further solidifying Pack Proof's reputation for precise color matching in packaging. Esko Pack Proof, part of the Esko software platform, integrates with Automation Engine, which enhances the prepress workflow from concept to shelf. This certification is a milestone for Esko and its customers, as it proves their commitment to innovation and sustainability in the packaging sector.

Pack Proof is revolutionizing the packaging industry by ensuring that brand colors are consistently and accurately reproduced, whether it's for premium consumer goods or everyday essentials. Martin Cusack, Product Manager Color & Digital, Esko, shares his excitement about the achievement, emphasizing how critical color consistency is in the competitive packaging world. 

The Fogra55 certification is especially important as ECG printing continues to gain traction. With its ability to handle complex designs—like double-hit colors and large solids—ECG printing maintains press stability while ensuring vibrant, accurate colors. Esko’s Equinox solution plays a crucial role here, speeding up the printing process, enhancing quality, and cutting costs.
