The Colour Doctor David Crowther of Colour Graphic Services (also Idealliance Australasia) has introduced two special offers to help and assist printers around Australia to standardise their colour and benefit from the savings that brings.

“With the start of the new financial year there can always be some uncertainty around continuity of work and production from print buyers. Therefore, we would like to step in with a couple of colour standardisation offers that brings huge benefits to printers of all types – small, medium or large – offset, digital, wide format or flexo,” Crowther said.

The first offer includes full training and set up of a print device to ISO 12647 or G7 or another standard of a printer’s choice. Included is a copy of Mellow Colour PrintSpec for CMYK colour control, calibration and verification. Additional Mellow Colour software modules included are;

• InkSpec (for spot colour control and verification)
• ProofSpec (for contract proof verification)
• RetroSpec (allows the analysis of trends and accurate process tuning).

Additionally, this offer includes Idealliance G7 Master qualification. The Idealliance G7 Master qualification can be completed across the chosen choice of print process – offset, digital, wide format, flexo, etc and includes a web listing, certificate and use of G7 Master logos for the print company’s marketing, etc.

“We are providing the tools, the instruction, the training, the support and Idealliance G7 Master qualification which would normally require some significant investment to complete. It still requires some planning, resources and commitment from the ‘printer’, but it is completely achievable – and it is at a never to be repeated price point,” Crowther said.

“Standardising colour quality in print to G7 or ISO 12647 needs time and energy but the ROI can be realised quickly. Reduced make ready in offset, repeatable and consistent colour, reduced wastage, increased productivity, less re-makes or re-do’s due to colour complaints or colour errors and improved customer satisfaction.”

As for the second offer, it is targeted at those that don’t have a suitable measurement device (spectrophotometer).

This offer includes all of the first offer but with the addition of theMyiro-1 handheld spectrophotometer and Myiro Tools Advanced software for additional colour measurement, analysis and complete colour profiling.

The Myiro-1 combines accuracy and ease of use for an entry level spectrophotometer. It captures the colour behaviour of print samples and outputs – all the M-conditions required in one scan pass. It also has wireless connectivity for greater flexibility.

“When used with Myiro Tools you get high end CMYK and RGB profiling for all print processes, and user-friendly QC for production, proofing. Integrated into Myiro Tools is basICColor display 6 for monitor calibration and profiling! The Myiro-1 also interfaces to the Mellow Colour software suite for direct measurement, verification and colour quality reporting,” Crowther said.

“These two special offers are at never to be repeated, almost below cost prices. We have worked hard behind the scenes to make these offers available and attractive to print service providers.”

Terms and conditions do apply to the offers, so contact David Crowther for further details.
