The RGB versions of the three black and white images can be used to check the grey reproduction and the black composition of CMYK printing profiles. A sample application is a black and white ad printed in four colours for better contrast.
The CMYK versions of the three black and white images can be used to assess the grey reproduction, the mid-tone spread and the ink trapping of a print run.
The grey scale versions of the three black and white images, in turn, can be used to assess the black simulation of a digital proof printing system. Besides black ink, such systems also use the chromatic colours to simulate single-colour printing with black ink. This can lead to different colour casts in different tonal value ranges of the proof print.
Love the pike. Clearly it’s essential for print quality evaluation.

It scans to text: “almost there”
This better not awaken anything in me.
…again…
The Romans figured that out?
Romans 16:B8F
When I worked at a print shop, we had to calibrate the copiers every morning. It involved printing out a scale of colors and using a device that determined whether a color was correct. Before the device, we did it manually, for the blacks. For the colors, the copiers printed several sheets that we then put through the copiers scanner, which calibrated. There were deviations rarely.
Edit: clarified a few things, now that I thought about it.
I always think they look like Pokémon gym leaders whenever I print these at work
A gym leader carrying around an eel pokemon in a wicker basket. Petty cool
That’s a lotta green.
Humans are quite sensitive to green.
Isn’t it a survival trait?
Since we used to live in the forests, it allowed us to see prey and predator amongst all the green.
I’m not being sensitive, you’re being sensitive!
I work for a huge printing company and normally when onboarding a new brand or processing tests for product changes we will get whole books full of these.
We also have a large library of images put together by the Devs of holidays, weddings, days out etc. to provide a little more variation in our tests.
