For the last several years Lexigraph has been working within the imaging industry to create a new color management process for what we call "industrial color".
As cost per color page plummets our customers needed technology to help them keep up on the color side. Industrial color is basically the color you get as you move your job (transpromo, statements, etc. with 25K-500K page counts and full color) from an environment where there are expensive, trained color-knowledgeable staff to the 24x7 lights-out automation needed to manufacture and process this type of output.
While high-speed printers have perfectly reliable color management built into them the organizations involved in managing and using them do not typically have color experts nor do they understand how to make color management work with these types of jobs. And, even if they do understand, there aren't tools designed to support these types of files and workflows nor is their budget in the cost per page pricing to support traditional color management.
We are going to roll out the thought process and technical product description on our blog Lone Wolf starting toward the end of this week. I suspect this discussion will be somewhat controversial but I thought I would put it out here because my guess is that some people here are already experiencing problems they are having a hard time solving.
