Read color validation results
The color validation test results show if the color reproduction of the printer is according to the
selected digital print certifications or the custom defined printing condition.
Color validation tests have metrics and tolerance levels to evaluate if printed colors are close
enough to their reference colors or not. Color validation tests can also use quality levels that have
different tolerance levels for the same metric. (

Read the quality levels
It depends on the color validation test definition which quality levels can be obtained. Per defined
color metric, at least one quality level (A) is defined. The results of the individual color metrics
determine the final quality level of the test.
