ColorCert Desktop Tools enable complex packaging workflows to ensure accurate, repeatable color between jobs, across the plant, and around the globe. This specialized solution is designed to help manage a range of inks, printing technologies, and substrates to ensure on-target color and print quality across various shifts and sites.
ColorCert Desktop Tools fits the specific needs of the packaging industry by defining the targets and specifications for both process and spot color printing. It supports specialty packaging color quality metrics such as ink strength, opacity, dot gain, and many others allowing you to align process control with common packaging practices.
ColorCert Desktop Tools facilitates a connected production workflow allowing the same ICC/CGATS print characterization files to be used in defining color targets. And if re-formulation is necessary, ColorCert’s integration with X-Rite’s InkFormulation software empowers the inkroom to take corrective action quickly and efficiently.
ColorCert Desktop Tools integrates with in-line and near-line XRGA-equipped measurement systems such as Intellitrax2 Pro and AVT Spectralab for greater production efficiency.
Covers every aspect of color quality control in all steps of the packaging workflow, from specification through pre-media to ink room and pressroom.
Monitor color quality during production to detect problems early, reduce rework, and enable more jobs on press per shift.
Provides actionable feedback on color performance to assure the job is printed to customer specifications.
