What’s the most challenging aspect of print production? It’s reproducing color, of course! In a print-perfect world, the color you produce for your customers is always perfect. In reality, reproducing color accurately across product lines using various printing processes is unique and challenging.
The key to success is to have a foundational understanding of color management. Without it, you’re more likely to print bad color, increase rework, hurt your brand’s image–or worst of all, hurt your customer’s brand image. Color management isn’t difficult–all you need is to learn the process, a few best practices, and how to implement it properly. Never fear, we’ve got you covered with the PRINTING United Alliance Color Ready! virtual event!

Whether you’re a creative, brand professional, production specialist, or a color management expert, there are tutorials that are well-matched and relevant for you.

Understanding and establishing a color aimpoint is fundamentally one of the most important steps in a good color management process. Without an agreed upon aimpoint there is no way to know if your process is effective. Whether it’s an industry defined aimpoint or your own device gamut, this is the first step in achieving consistent, predictable, and repeatable color.
