[Printing Column 4] Achieving Consistent Print Quality through Color Management Implementation

Anyone can print the same thing.

At the printing factory department, we have three printing machines, and in the three-shift printing operation, there are multiple team leaders who rotate their work according to the duty roster. However, it is absolutely unacceptable to say things like, "The color reproduction changed when the team leader changed," or "It was because the team leader had little experience..." Therefore, at Ohira Printing, we collaborated with the pre-press DTP department to establish a color management environment. Color management involves aligning the print reproducibility of different output devices, such as printing machines, inkjet printers, and digital printing machines. Furthermore, by matching the hues of the monitors used by the image processing operators, we have enabled them to process images while envisioning the final printed materials, making it possible to faithfully reproduce the color direction finalized during the proofing exchanges with customers in the final printed products. *For more details on the column, please refer to the related links.
