Trend report: Production color management

When people think about color quality, many think about how “good” the printer is.

If you’ve got a device that handles color well, color should be fine, right? But the fact of the matter is sound color management is an end-to-end process, one that sometimes doesn’t even involve a printer at all. Ultimately, printers only really make up about one-fifth of the color management process. The rest is with photographers, designers, computer monitors, order intake and elsewhere.

In this trend report, we will discuss:

  • Sources of “gaps” in color quality

  • How to address them

  • How to select expert color consultants to improve color quality across your fleet

  • When to seek formal G7 Certification and when to simply strive for G7 color standards
