Vendor Instructions to Achieve Certification

Manufacturers of off-press proofing systems must apply for certification and submit a  Application Data Sheet (ADS) developed from a standard template and representative proofs for evaluation in order  to achieve Certification. The ADS provides directions for producing proofs as closely as possible to the appearance of a Certified  Proof. For all proofing systems, the proofs produced according to the ADS are visually examined and evaluated "to the numbers" and are granted certification if within given tolerances.

Step 1:  Apply to certify a Proofing System. (this will initiate invoicing and alert RIT of the pending certification.)

Step 2: Download Certification Procedures and follow the directions.

Step 3: Download the ADS Template and develop an ADS to be submitted with your proofs.
