Printing

Color that echoes the appearance of the original:high-quality color correction and color conversion technologies support consistent color management.

High-caliber color reproduction is a vital aspect of commercial printing. To produce printed materials with high-quality color, a variety of technologies are used to analyze and correct the initial RGB image for attractive color, followed by color conversion to a CMYK image appropriate for printing*. The incorporation of color profile services based on print diagnostic technology and color management services using sophisticated color matching technology supports consistent management of color quality during production of printed materials.

*NOTE: When producing printed materials, RGB images from digital cameras and other sources must be converted to 4-color (CYMK) data.
