In November 2008 Nicholas Hellmuth (Flaar Reports) visited a digital signage printing company with more than two dozen wide-format inkjet printers with the goal to see how color management equipment works in the real world. The result is his “Site-visit Case Study with grand format solvent and UV-curable printers”.

Nicholas Hellmuth is a consultant and lecturer in wide format printing and lectured all over the world. He is also president and founder of FLAAR. Their websites www.FineArtGicleePrinters.org, www.wide-format-printers.org, and www.large-format-printers.org are reviewing high end scanning and large format printing hardware and software and are read by over one million people a year.

In his recent report Nicholas Hellmuth describes the easy-of-use of color management software and devices in combination with many different UV-curable printers, solvent printers and textile printers. The most interesting part to end-users most probably is the explanation on cost benefits when using ICC profiles.

In this report Nicholas Hellmuth dedicated a part also to BARBIERI electronic and their measuring devices. Thanks to several statements of actual BARBIERI equipment users readers will understand which benefits BARBIERI solutions offer.
