The "ISO 12642-2 / ANSI IT8/7.4 Random" test chart contains the same 1617 patches as the "ISO 12642-2 / ANSI IT8/7.4 Visual" test chart.
However, the patches in this test chart are rearranged so that ink is always applied evenly to the ink zones during printing. The test chart can be printed both in longitudinal and cross direction.
IT8.7/5 (TC1617x) with additional grasycales can be used for G7 scoring.
You can export IT8.7/5 quality data with for G7 scoring from Image Control and then process and analyze this data in Color Toolbox.
