Hello!
There is no official RGB-printing standard existing to my knowledge.
Only process-related standards exist. As the process for RGB printers (and
that's true for the entirety of digital printing) is not defined. Though,
they can be treated as simulation devices, simulating standardized
processes. The quality of the simulation can then be evaluated.
In analog printing like offset, flexo, and gravure, the process is well
known and given within a set of adjustable parameters. The definition for
actual process standards makes sense there. In analog printing, a
"reverse-color-management-strategy" can be applied where tuning the
parameters of a printing condition to defined values leads
to foreseeable color reproduction characteristics. Well defined in profiles
like ISO coated V2,V3, GRACoL 2006/2013 to name a few.
To date, such an approach does not work for digital printing as different
device manufacturers have different system designs and parameters available
for adjustment.
TAC-limit and linearize(if applicable) an RGB printer then
characterize/profile it. Convert your standard-profile tagged image data
into the printer's gamut and print from there. Check the result against the
criteria of the process standards you are simulating.
However, "proofing standards" do exist. Have a look at the ISO 12647-7 (
https://www.iso.org/standard/66426.html)
Less helpful but maybe interesting too: ISO 12647-8 (
https://www.iso.org/standard/77104.html)
Kind regards

Hi,
are there any standards to *evaluate a RGB printer **specifically*?
Something like Ideal Alliance certification stuff maybe or whatever but for
an RGB printer.
