Thanks Peter, The software you have recommended is definitely worth investigating. I am looking for an integrated solution to manage colour output from multiple devices ranging from offset to digital. We use Prinergy Evo for our offset work. Our digital presses have a separate rip over which I...

Hi Everyone, Thank you for all of your input, it has been very helpful. I realise that any large investment in colour management is probably not on the cards for now. I would like, however, to propose a bare-bones system of colour management. Is there anyone who can advise me on how to go...

I'm finished for the weekend. I will get on the case with a renewed sense of purpose starting first thing Monday morning. Cheers and have a great weekend!!

That is a fantastic idea. Try explaining to the clients that we can only print in b&w...

I am glad to see that I'm not the only person out there who has noticed the lack of real world color management. I love the whole subject and I really hope my bosses can see the benefits of a well managed color controlled workflow. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks SZmetana I will dig a little deeper into our Prinergy Evo. I have seen the ColorFlow name in the software but I need to seen how to use it.

Thanks JL, I will talk to my supervisor to see where colour management can really save us money. You are absolutely right about doing the maths. It is after all about the bottom line. I hope I can pull some meaningful figures from my research. Thanks again Ben

Maybe I am just over enthusiastic, I don't know. We (as in our pre-press department) had some in-house colour management training by an outside Colour Management Expert. He was great. I left the sessions inspired and ready to bring our print factory in line with the "rest" of the world...

Good Day Everyone, Do I need Curve3 if I already have Prinergy Evo 5.2? I would like to know if there would be any benefit to having a separate program to measure and produce tonal calibration curves for digital and offset presses. I am basically looking for a unified workflow? Ideally I...

Yes, that is the kind of target file I need. We are using SWOP Coated standards so does that mean I should use a swop target file? I have another question to you all. We have always used the swop standard. No though, we have newer digital presses that run alongside our offset presses. I wish to...

Thank you for all of the advice. Sure, the whole process is a bit daunting but I like a challenge. I have another question though. What target file should I use? Or should I created my own?

Good Day Everyone, As you may have noticed, I am throwing myself in at the deep end with the tasks I wish to accomplish. My query today concerns the creation of calibration curves. Our workflow is very basic and heavily relies on old school visual adjustment at the time of printing. This is...

Thanks for that. I can't wait to get testing.

Good Day, I'm investigating the possibility of using scholastic FM screening for use on our Alprinta offset press. Firstly is it a viable option? If not then I need not investigate further. Thanks for any help you can give. Ben

I will check out the manuals right away. Thank you, I am very gtareful.
