Target density import from CGAT

Target density import from CGAT

Problem/Question

Can the Density Linearization Correction Wizard import custom target density curves for workflows that use additional color channels, or is it limited to CMYK?

Solution/Work-Around

With the upcoming Winter Release 2026, the CGATS-based target density file import in the Density Linearization Correction Wizard has been extended to support all additional color channels, removing the previous CMYK-only limitation.
This enhancement enables the definition of custom target curves, such as G7 or SCTV.
As a result, Density Linearization can be applied consistently in expanded-gamut and multi-channel printing workflows, not only in traditional CMYK environments.
