Expert Interview with Global Graphics Software: Color Consistency in Digital Printing

The role of color consistency in digital printing with Global Graphics Software

Viktor Lazzeri visits the Global Graphics Software headquarters in Cambridge, UK, to explore the exciting synergy between their cutting-edge color measurement technology and Global Graphics’ innovative Smart Digital Front End (DFE) for industrial printers.

Tom Mooney, Product Manager for Smart Media at Global Graphics, underscores the crucial role of precise color measurement in achieving top-tier print quality. With a commitment to excellence, Tom ensures that the Smart DFE delivers exceptional color and quality. The collaboration with Barbieri, featuring the Barbieri Spectro LFP qb color measurement device, is a key factor for achieving unparalleled accuracy and consistency in print production.

Global Graphics Software’s typical customers are inkjet printers—whether operating in CMYK or extended gamut modes—working across a diverse range of substrates, from plastics and clear plastics to paper and textiles. Accurate color measurement is essential for maintaining high standards and delivering stunning print results across various applications.

Tom emphasizes that consistent color accuracy is vital, particularly for brand colors and short-run digital prints where every batch must match perfectly. The discussion wraps up with Tom recognizing the need for robust measurement equipment that adapts to different conditions, including substrate reflections and UV properties.

Powerful tools like Barbieri measurement devices and Global Graphics Smart DFE are crucial to achieve highest print quality and color accuracy, providing industrial printing clients with the features they need to achieve excellence in every print job.
