The SWOP Review Committee has approved the use of off-press proofs as input material to publications. SWOP specifications recommend 

that: “The appearance of an off-press proof used in this application must closely simulate a SWOP Certified Press Proof.”  See other 

explanations and recommendations as outlined on pages 21 and 47 of the 2001 Ninth Edition of the 

SWOP Specifications for Web Offset Publications.

The history of Matchprint proofing products designed to meet the needs of the printing industry began in the 1960’s when proofing films 
were introduced. Throughout this time, we have viewed color reproduction as a process rather than a series of independent events. We 

base this on the premise that an advertiser's major commitment to expense and image is determined at the print production site. For this 

reason, a Proof, when made to the following guidelines, is intended to simulate the characteristics of a production press operating within 

the SWOP guidelines for production printing. 

SWOP specifies that a control guide such as a GATF/SWOP Proofing Bar be supplied on every off-press proof. As a minimum, this guide 

should contain solids for the primary process colors and two-color overprints, as well as a 25%, 50%, and 75% tint in of each of the 

process colors. A control guide containing these imaging characteristics must be present on every proof. All control guides should be 

checked for accuracy of the original values. Use and interpretation of a control guide is the responsibility of the user. 

For a KPG Matchprint ProofPro 2610 inkjet printer proof to be considered a "SWOP" proof, the following components must be used: 

•  Matchprint ProofPro RIP or DirectWorks Suite  
•  KPG Matchprint ProofPro 2610 inkjet printer 
•  Matchprint ProofPro Inkjet Media Publication/Dye 
•  X-Rite AutoScan Spectrophotometer DTP-41 or equivalent
