Today's packaging workflows are complex, often involving multiple brand owners, design agencies, premedia professionals, and plating and ink manufacturers, all providing input into the production workflow. This can make managing accurate color and print consistency a challenge. The ColorCert Suite simplifies color communication across all internal and external stakeholders. From prepress and the inkroom to production process control, it helps you manage precise color and print specifications, uniting traditional silos of information into one common workflow.
ColorCert for Print & Packaging Converters
The ColorCert Suite was developed from the ground up to enable the packaging industry to better manage the complexities of CMYK, Expanded Gamut, and Spot Color workflows, regardless of the printing process, substrate, or industry standard. Its modular set of tools streamline communications, provide actionable data and enable better utilization of existing people, processes and technologies.
ColorCert for Brand Owners
For brand owners, ensuring accurate, consistent color and print consistency across a regional or global supply chain can be challenging. Many brands rely on on-site press approvals to ensure this consistency... But what happens on a rerun? The traditional "mail in samples" approach can be complex to manage, and in most cases samples are not viewed until a problem occurs and the product is already on shelf.
The ColorCert Suite enables digital communication of exact color and print requirements, producing near-real-time data for each and every press run in an easy-to-understand dashboard. ColorCert allows converters to provide their brand owner customers with real-time reporting Scorecard data that confirms compliance with brand owner specifications including G7 and PSO guidelines, speeding approval processes and often eliminating the need for expensive and time consuming on-site press checks.
Brands and Converters are increasingly leveraging ColorCert's ScoreCard approach for a more strategic approach to color management, viewing color performance holistically rather than based on a single press sheet.
ColorCert for Premedia
For Premedia companies, gaining additional control and tracking of color performance helps improve the service you provide. Knowing if separations are being reproduced as intended or if adjustments need to be made for a better match.
For Print Specification and Process Control
ColorCert Desktop Tools is a modular solution to create accurate color specifications and control processes at multiple points throughout the packaging workflow.
For Quality Control in Print & Packaging
ColorCert QA is a pressroom and ink room quality assurance solution that provides actionable guidance to manage color standards, improving color performance and reducing makeready time and waste.
For Managing and Distributing Digital Assets
The ColorCert Repository Server is a secure, cloud-based portal to manage and deploy digital assets based on user type, location, brand, workflow stage, or other parameters.
For Monitoring Quality Assurance
The ColorCert ScoreCard Server is a cloud-based portal that provides an overall view of print quality, summarizes quality levels, and consolidates metrics filtered by a variety of criteria.
This online course consists of 24 modules to train both new and existing ColorCert users on the all-new ColorCert 5.0 interface.
Learn how L&E uses the eXact, NetProfiler, PantoneLIVE, and ColorCert for quality assurance within their entire packaging supply chain in China and South-East Asia.
Utilizing a combination of ColorCert modules, every stakeholder in the workflow – including brands, prepress, ink room, and pressroom, in one site or many – can be linked to communicate color and print expectations and monitor print quality.
