David Crowther, managing director, Colour Graphic Services told Australian Printer, “The new ISO standard for Quality Systems Management gives customers assurance that we provide quality management services.”
Crowther will be joined with Alan Dresch from Mellow Colour, UK, who is an internationally recognised authority on printing standards and brand colour management utilising PrintSpec and InkSpec.
Crowther says, “New for us at PacPrint 2013 will be the local release of Mellow Colour’s latest colour QA products, ImpressionProof and RabbitScanner. Alan is making a special flying visit to demonstrate the new products. Rabbit Scanner is a press side strip reader for 20, 30 and 40 inch presses, that provides accurate ink key data. ImpressionProof enables local and remote proof checking even while the press is running, and uses Adobe’s Print Engine 2 at its core.”
He says, “Additionally, new for us at PacPrint 2013 is the launch of our ChromaTrain programme of onsite colour training where the culture of critical colour standards is imparted in a familiar environment and with a minimum interruption to normal production.”
“The conversion of RGB to CMYK has always been a bit of a mystery to photographers and advertising agencies. There is often a feeling they are being short-changed when they see their RGB work in print. This need not always be the case if thorough processes are put in place. By being ISO-conscious from image capture to reproduction, all stakeholders can be satisfied,” concludes Crowther.
