Print out and measure the Fogra MediaWedge. When inline measurements are once qualified by Fogra, these systems can validate the colour immediately.
Save the measurement data as a text file including information on the date of the measurement, the model name and serial number of the measurement device and method (e.g. M0, M1, M2).

Would you like to have different versions certified? Please name the measurement files accordingly (_#1, _#2, ...).

After receiving your measurement file, we will check and evaluate the data via our Matlab routine, which was specially developed for the PSD Colour Data certification. Within 2-4 working days, you will receive the result and information on the classification of the achieved quality level A, B or C (see PSD Handbook Chapter 6.5).

In case of a successful (re-)certification, we issue a certificate and list your company in our FograCert database.
