Colour Management Benefits

	Precise matching of printing to colour proof sheet
	Greater Print quality consistency
	Completing colour proofs in prepress allows for better adjustments in plate making, printing and streamlining of the entire process
	Shorter drying time allows for more efficiency in the process
	Cost efficiency due to less paper wastage and reduced ink consumption

New Approaches to Color Management Are Key to Economic Success

With quality demands from customers increasing, shorter and shorter production times and fast job changes even on large presses, color management continues to play a key role in the economic future.

The ability to print high-quality products at an attractive price using standardized methods is often the deciding factor in winning jobs.

Objectives of an integrated color workflow

	True-color proofs thanks to systematic use of standards and ICC profiles
	Optimized ink presettings that can be selected either manually or automatically on the press mean faster inking up and less waste
	Extremely rapid response to changed print conditions with automated process control
	Long-term analyses and recording of print results

In an integrated color workflow, all the processes from plate production to printing are based on standardized production conditions. This ensures an immediate reaction to any changes during the print process. And although the color workflow is largely automated, the operator still retains control over whether and how to respond to deviations in color quality.
