Highly specialized equipment is required to achieve the system standard. Therein lies a unique opportunity for the trained service provider who invests in instrumentation. The equipment required will depend on the calibration service to be rendered to the customer.
An optical comparator is available from the ISF for under $500 US. Further instrumentation is also discussed and demonstrated at the seminars. This additional equipment can be obtained through means outside our organization, and starts from approximately $3000 up to $15,000.
The ISF seminar demonstrates the value of understanding why and how electronic image reproduction works, plus the added value of having the right tools to implement the system specifications.
