ORIS CxF Toolbox creates ISO 17972 compliant CxF/X-4 files from existing color data, such as CGATS measurement files, QTX files and legacy CxF formats, or by measuring printed samples.

Spectral reflectance data can be viewed in detail, including data embedded in PDF/X files. All metadata information can be added and corrected.

ORIS CxF Toolbox also allows you to conveniently assign CxF/X-4 data to the spot colors in a PDF/X file and to extract such data to a file. Missing CxF/X-4 data is assigned automatically if CxF/X-4 library files are specified. You can also modify the ink laydown order and extract the output intent profile. Missing output intent profiles can be assigned manually.

If a brand color is only available as a printed sample, ORIS CxF Toolbox quickly finds the best matching color definition available in a CxF/X-4 library.

Print quality can be verified by measuring spot ink characterization charts against the tolerances defined in the CxF/X-4 metadata. Alternatively, if your measurement device is not supported, you can load a CGATS measurement file or QTX file. Process color validation based on the PDF output intent or a user-selected ICC profile is also supported. The validation results can be saved as a PQX file and sent on for evaluation.

The report function provides an overview of all spectral and colorimetric data both graphically and numerically. It also includes data for print process control such as TVI aims and ink properties. There are also validation reports.

ORIS CxF Toolbox also allows you to access CxF/X-4 data stored on the Global Brand Assurance web server. The data can be analyzed, extracted and used for verifying print quality. The verification results can be uploaded to the GBA database.
