Top designers know that awareness and participation in the print and manufacturing process are critical for a smooth transition from creativity to production. What you envision during the creative process needs to be reproducible especially if budgeting is important. Communication between the design phase and print production phase helps to eliminate the most common difficulties proactively. It’s safe to say that the creative processes start today at the monitor with a dependency on the material used for the final product. The approval process will work its way to a production environment that has inherent limitations that will impact both quality and cost. ChromaChecker brings color communication to the design level with functionality that allows for communicating color using a Virtual Print engine that is aligned directly with the profiling in production. Designers are able to manage Color Libraries in ChromaChecker and provide centralized sharing of color definitions using CxF4 formatting, testing the print profiling process, and receiving feedback regarding the potential shift in color during printing or manufacturing of products. ChromaChecker also provides the ability to read any surface to receive color specifications for analysis at the product level. This start to finish analysis provides the designer with confidence and insight into the represented color and how it will be reproduced.
