IT8 charts for scanner characterisation
Our "IT8" charts are based on international standard (ISO 12641).
They are available in four versions:
two transmissive versions (4"x5", 24x36mm)
and two reflective versions (5"x7", A4).
Production of three types is possible:
Kodak type (portrait + flesh tones on right hand side of the image),
Fuji type (flesh tone patches in right hand columns)
and Agfa type (colourful patches in right hand columns).
Any type could be exposed on any material (e.g. Kodak type can be produced on Fuji material).
There are only two products on stock: reflective chart 5"x7" Kodak type glossy
and reflective chart A4 Kodak type semimatt.
Please, ask us about availability of transmissive charts.
We produce the charts mostly on Kodak photo materials (Ektachrome, Ektacolor).
Production on other materials (Fuji, Agfa, Konica) by request.
Charts are measured by corrected spectrophotometer Gretag Spectrolino.
Average batch colorimetric data (XYZ, L*a*b*) are available for each production batch.
ICC profiles created by way of our charts are identical with profiles of Kodak charts.
Transmissive Target 4"x5" (IT8.7/1 Type 1)
