How to Print Consistent Colors?

“When other conditions being equal, different printers can be adjusted to keep unified colors.” a technician told us. However, it is really hard to ensure all the conditions are equal. Equipment of different brands may produce different colors. The new and old print head can result in different colors. Also, different materials even printed with the same machine may present different colors. Then how to keep the color consistent while printing?

One of the effective ways is to use the color control systems. There are quite a lot of such systems in the market now. And most of them promise to keep the colors unified for different equipment and different materials. To some extent, the color control system has broken through some limitations for color unity. But while you put this system into use, you will still encounter some problems:

First, the auto color transformation is complex, and all artworks should be sent to the headquarter data to analyze and match;

Second, color transformation is too time-consuming for small orders since it takes time to do the color matching for so many different artworks.

Under this situation, we need to find another way to solve the color matching problem for small orders. At first, we can try to use the ICC curve. The ICC curve is an international color matching standard that is used to keep the color unified from the beginning to finish. By adopting the ICC curve, we can achieve consistent color, and at the same time, we don’t need to be bothered with the long color transformation time.

However, the ICC curve cannot solve all the problems. Mistakes will be made when it comes to solid color printing and problems like color value superposition still exist. To solve this problem, another color-matching standard-- Pantone C-- is introduced. Pantone C provides a standard for the color conversion from RGB to CMYK. Then when we try to keep colors in uniform, the color palette can be used for the solid color and ICC curve for other gradient colors.

In sum, keeping color in uniform is a tough and urgent problem that needs to be further explored. By drawing on past experience and taking advantage of advanced technology, we believe a better result will be achieved.

A Couple of Brothers: RGB VS CMYK

I guess you have probably heard thousands of times the terms RGB and CMYK in daily working, yet do you really know what they are, when to use and why? When it comes to designing for print, there is a range of things you need to consider that includes the design itself, the type of files, color mode setting, the printing capability of equipment, etc. Among these factors, the color mode acts as a bridge that connects your designs and the final result. Let’s uncover the basic logic behind color mode choice A golden rule in the printing industry is anything dealing with the web should always be in RGB and printed materials should be in CMYK. In the following, I will briefly explain the reason behind that. WHAT IS RGB & CMYK? RGB is an additive process that stands for red, green, blue.The main purpose of the RGB color model is for the sensing, representation, and display of images in computer monitors.

Do You Really Know Core Product, Tangible Product and Extended Product?

What makes a successful salespeople? A successful sales always has confidence in himself, trusts the company he works at, and knows clearly about the product he tries to sell. When it comes to knowing the products, we don ’ t just mean the tangible product. In fact, three concepts on products that need to be clearly understood by salespeople. The first concept is the tangible product, which mainly includes the shape, size, color, appearance, packaging, etc.. The tangible product is important because it often determines the first impression of the product on customers. Nowadays, many companies try to attract customers by refurbishing the packaging or optimizing branding. If the color, packaging and branding can be tactically fused into the story of the product, then the promotion and introduction of the product can be easier. The second concept is the core product, namely the core value of the product. Unlike a tangible product that is designed to seduce customers to buy the
