This is an IT8 color target made in EGM Laboratories in Barcelona, Spain. It has a very big gamut, slightly bigger than ProPhoto RGB color space.Ĭalibrating all devices involved in the process chain (original, scanner/digital camera, monitor/printer) is required for an authentic color reproduction, because their actual color spaces differ device-specifically from the reference color spaces.Īn IT8 calibration is done with what are called IT8 targets, which are defined by the IT8 standards.
These targets consists of 24 grey fields and 264 color fields in 22 columns: Special targets, implementing the IT8.7/1 (transparent target) or IT8.7/2 (reflective target) standards, are needed for calibrating scanners. Column 01 to 12: HCL color model, which differ in Hue, Chroma, and Lightness.Column 13 to 16: CMYK-Colors Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key ( black) in different steps of brightness.
