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...

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...

Good Morning PrintPlanet, This is my dilemma, we have two muller martini presses (alprinta & progress). Our graphics no longer contain the colour bars and the camera that read them has been broken for some time. What options are left for the printer to gauge whether or not he is printing with...

I work in the pre-press department of a large printing house. I control the colour management from the preparation of the graphics to the creation of the plates. We have always worked to the SWOP standard, the old version. I know that there is the new 2006 version. I am also aware of the Fogra...
