Color management

Color management technology creates happy customers

When it comes to color printing for customers, accuracy and consistency are everything. Yet, achieving predictable, repeatable color across devices, media types, and environments is no small feat. That’s why we invest in color innovation across devices, software, and automation — to ensure you get the color you need, every time. And the best part, we’ve done it so that even novices can match colors across an entire fleet of devices.

That color may not be all that it seems

The reality is, you can’t trust your eye to confirm color. The same color may look different to different people, especially on different materials and under different light sources. And if you’ve got different output devices, you’ve added more variation. Fortunately, with color management technology, you can match and produce the same color across digital devices (regardless of manufacturer), even matching an offset press to a digital device.

Getting the right color, the first time

Knowing and agreeing with your customer on a color standard is only the first step. Next, the color output, on whatever substrate it will be applied, will need to be correct and consistent. It’s why we’ve developed, offer, and facilitate the integration of color management technologies that support the entire workflow.
