THE BERTL DTP BOOKLET
BERTL’s production-printing analysts ran a broad range of
tests in order to evaluate all
aspects of image quality and
functionality using a hand-picked
selection of standard test targets
and scientific matching charts.
BERTL also produced copies of
the 32-page BERTL Digital Test
Portfolio (DTP) that contains a
variety of text, lines, gradations
and synthetic images printed onto
a variety of substrates.
The BERTL DTP Volume 2 was
designed specifically with layout,
imaging, color, evaluation tools
and media selection in mind, to
truly test the abilities of digital
presses. This challenging
document was able to illustrate
the RISO ComColor® 9050’s
image-quality capabilities.
This DTP project was composed entirely with Adobe
Creative Suite® 3 Design Premium – the ultimate
creative toolset, with Adobe®
InDesign® CS3 for page layout,
Photoshop® CS3 Extended for
specialized image editing,
Illustrator® CS3 for vector
graphics creation, Flash® CS3
Professional for interactive
design, Dreamweaver® CS3 for
Web design and development,
and Acrobat® 8 Professional for
Adobe® PDF workflows.
All test targets and graphics were
integrated into Adobe®
InDesign® using their default
palettes and native resolutions.
If possible, all image-quality tests
were printed on 256 gsm gloss
cover stock with various
intermittent stocks for
comparative value. The booklet
was produced both as a finished
booklet and as a straight-through
print test for image-quality
evaluation.
