Top performance through process control

Top performance through process control

Back to Barbieri ONAndreas Kraushaar is head of prepress department at Fogra and acts as president of the German Color Society. What can you tell us about the FOGRA media wedge and what does process control mean for you? What is process control? The trend we see in those cases is that any industry, sooner or later, faster or slower, move toward an industrial process. That means we try to move from a more visual base to a more objective measurement-based way. And if you have happened to have customers expecting a certain quality, a certain level of color accuracy for spot color matching GRACoL  and or FOGRA, then you are needed, you are requested to print the expected and to double check and going to industrial printing, going more to the industrial way of working this kind of objective report gives you the right fundamental tool to objectify you're doing, to objectify your work. And also a lot of what people do not always explicitly ask for the quality, but those kind of quality ...

Color Excellence with the power of spectral data

Color Excellence with the power of spectral data

Back to Barbieri ONDorin Pitigoi is Color and Standardization expert and active in the graphic technology industry for over 25 years. He participates in many international committees, working groups and standards.How can accurate spectral measurement data help to improve print quality? If we think, we mostly talk about color, but in a very direct sense, color belongs to the eyes that sees the color of the object rather than the object itself. And we can describe spectral data as good collection of information, that allows us to understand the properties of any object. In graphic technology we employ various methods to print and reproduce the graphic content in such a way that we achieve another goal, which is basically printing the expected.How can we print the expected? To print the expected we need a meaningful way to understand how these spectral data can help the print operator to better control its process, in terms of the printing system. And then in the end, to do what ...
