About this BrandQ® Webinar

Holding brand color across a variety of machines and processes can be challenging. The goal is matching the same color across many different plants and substrates. Supply chains have variability, and often darker colors are affected by ink characteristics, overprints, and other machine specific variables. Color servers are one of the key tools used by suppliers to improve areas that cannot be corrected simply by using a plate curve or ink adjustment. In this webinar we will discuss when using a color server makes sense, what type of adjustments a color server can make, as well as examples of how a color server can correct a file to provide better reproduction.

In this webinar you will learn:

  • What a color server is, and what can it do
  • How to tell when a color server helps, and when it is not needed
  • How machines, inks, and supply chains vary, and impact consistency
  • Which art a color server can correct, with before and after examples and illustrations

Moderator:

  • Ron Ellis, Chair of Idealliance Print Properties & Colorimetric Council

Panelists:

  • David Bulebush, Knepper Press
  • Mike Strickler, MSP Graphic Services
