FOGRA55-Certified ECG Proofing — Why PackProof’s World First Matters

About this event

Elevate ECG printing from “good practice” to measurable, certified performance

Esko PackProof is the first solution worldwide to achieve FOGRA55 certification, the new benchmark for extended color gamut printing, building on its existing FOGRA39 and FOGRA51 accreditations.

As brands and converters push for vibrant, consistent color, demand for ECG printing is soaring. It delivers predictable, certified color while supporting sustainability, cutting ink and material waste, reducing energy use, and lowering carbon footprint. That’s why PackProof is key to creating proofs that confidently match the final packaging.

In this session, we’re joined by Dr.-Ing. Andreas Kraushaar from Fogra, who will introduce Fogra, explain how its certification process works, and share why FOGRA55 is a major step forward for achieving consistent, accurate color in everyday packaging workflows.

We’ll also demonstrate how PackProof handles spot colors and expanded-gamut ink systems to deliver contract proofs that match the final packaging, right the first time.

Key Takeaways

  • Understand FOGRA55: What CMYKOGV ECG proofing means and how the dataset underpins predictable, certified color.
  • Watch PackProof in action: Learn how to create certified proofs that meet industry standards and Fogra guidelines.
  • Why certification matters: How Fogra’s independent, research‑based program validates systems, processes, and quality - reducing rework and risk.
  • Path to ECG adoption: Practical tips to move from CMYK to fixed‑palette ECG with confidence across proof‑to‑press.

We’ll close with a live Q&A so you leave with clear, actionable steps to implement certified ECG proofing.
