Criteria for Color Verification

During color verification, the average and maximum delta E values in color deviation are evaluated using the standard and the tolerance values specified by the selected color space. The color chart used for verification is reprinted with the ICC profile resulted after the color adjustment and does not guarantee conformance with various verification standards.
