Learn how to communicate, control and manage brand color

We spend about 1/3 of our time working with brands. We have helped major brands develop print quality programs. We work with the brand to teach them the language of color and how to communicate what they need. We also work with the brand and their suppliers to teach them how to evaluate the color and make sure it meets expectations. We have developed simple brand programs for smaller brands that help them communicate with suppliers, as well as more comprehensive programs for major brands that remotely track print quality in real-time as the job is on press. Ron developed the BrandQ program for Idealliance, as well as numerous print quality programs for major brands.

Calibrate and control color on any press

We can help you calibrate your press to top level specifications. Ron has performed thousands of press calibrations on machines ranging from litho, gravure, flexo, inkjet, digital and industrial print. In addition to calibrating, we can teach you how to calibrate and maintain the print condition over time. Ron is a G7 Expert trainer (meaning he trains G7 Experts), as well as a G7 Process Control trainers. Ron developed the G7 Process Control program for Idealliance, as well as other numerous other programs for manufacturers and printers.

Quality control – making sure the color is right before you print

A large part of printing correctly is knowing how you are printing. We can help you learn how to measure and track your print processes, as well as create a feedback loop so operators only print when the color is correct. We can help you build a print quality process, from simple programs with hand measurement, to automatic programs where every print is measured and stored in a database.

Wide format, textile, and industrial print

A large part of our time is spent working with non-traditional print. We work on all types of presses, from inkjet wide format on adhesive vinyl to sublimation on textiles and metal. We can help you get the right color, as well as create a qualiyt program to keep the color consistent.
