FograCert Softproof Monitor was developed by Fogra, the German graphic arts research association. A FograCert Softproof Monitor is part of a FograCert Softproofing System that specifies requirements for a complete softproofing system for achieving a high-quality visual match between a monitor and a printed reference.

The following EIZO ColorEdge color management monitors have obtained this certification.
 

Testing Criteria for FograCert Softproof Monitor

1. Viewing angle (Viewing cone characteristics)
   Viewing cone characteristics are evaluated by hue, chroma, lightness, and gradation (gamma stability) properties.
2. Uniformity (homogeneity)
   Evaluated by 25 patches (5 by 5) across the screen
3. Warm-up behavior
    

Why ColorEdge Monitors Meet the Certification Requirements

•    Minimal Delta-E deviation between display of sRGB and Adobe preset modes and sRGB and Adobe ICC profiles.

•    High-precision calibration using the bundled ColorNavigator color management software ensures accurate color display.

•    Most ColorEdge CG Series monitors take just three minutes for the brightness, color, and grayscale characteristics to stabilize.

•    EIZO’s patented Digital Uniformity Equalizer technology counterbalances fluctuations in brightness and chroma across the screen.

•    IPS panel minimizes color shift when viewed from an angle.

By using a monitor certified for color accuracy and soft proofing, creatives can trust that they are working with accurate, stable, and uniform color display.
