Color Management for Pre-Media

Graphics for Pre-Media:

Achieving color and design standards across suppliers, materials, and locations can be challenging. With the right solutions, you can eliminate variability and subjectivity of physical standards and accurately proof design intent for the printing process.

• PantoneLIVE:

  Communicate with suppliers digitally, provide achievable standards, and implement a data-driven color and print quality program to achieve color consistency across suppliers, materials, and locations.

• Judge QC:

  For optimal color results, proofs and print samples should be examined under the correct lighting conditions. Judge QC offers a variety of controlled lighting conditions that enable you to determine how your color will look in different lighting conditions.

Art Production for Pre-Media:

Managing brand and printer expectations from monitor, to proof, to print is a critical, yet challenging role that is played in pre-media. X-Rite has solutions to help optimize standards for specific substrates and processes within the art production process to help you evaluate color objectively and ensure the print quality regardless of process or substrate.

• PantoneLIVE:

  With PantoneLIVE, you can connect partners to a secure, cloud-based repository of common Pantone color libraries and the corresponding dependent color standards based on common printing substrates. With these digital standard capabilities, you can ensure color and design consistency and shorten approval cycles and ensure accurate spot color proofs across suppliers, materials, and locations. 

• i1Pro 3:

  To produce a successful and accurate proof, it’s imperative that it matches the standard and target. Leveraging the i1Pro 3 helps to identify and target what you need to calibrate and profile cameras, monitors, projectors, printers, and presses, helping to ensure any color input and output is in line with color expectations.

Quality Control for Pre-Media:

Quality control means being able to calibrate, profile, measure, and communicate color across digital and print conditions. Leveraging X-Rite solutions for your quality control needs ensures your job will have consistent color throughout the supply chain onsite and across the globe.

• ColorCert Desktop Tools:

  When preparing files, it’s important to remove subjectivity. The comprehensive reporting capabilities of ColorCert enables the creation of color specifications, which can be communicated with the production floor, and provides a reporting scorecard to ensure color standardization and remove subjectivity in quality control.

• i1 Family of Products:

  It’s important to ensure print quality regardless of process and substrate. Adding an i1 device to your process helps to calibrate and profile your monitors and projectors and a variety of substrates, to provide you full control over your color from design, to monitor, to print.
