The characterisation data and the ICC profile Ref-ECG-CMYKOGV_FOGRA55_TAC300.icc have been published on the Fogra website in recent weeks. We have now carried out the certification via GMG ColorProof, as  … read more

Digimarc is a digital watermark that can be used to embed information in images, videos or other media.
