Color management is to achieve color consistency of display, prototyping and printing machine according to certain standards and existing conditions. When color management has become popular, ink presets become standard, paper and supplies supply stability, in theory, a key production can be qualified printing sheets.
But in fact, offset press production is a dynamic system, a live part of the reproduction of color, all the time by the ink bucket ink, ink roll temperature, printing speed, water quality changes and other factors affected by subtle changes, this has not considered the paper and consumables in the batch may exist in the unstable, Therefore, using efficient methods to maintain consistent color from beginning to end is the priority among priorities and primary purpose of color management system.
How to ensure color consistency in the production process? Only continuous detection and real-time adjustment of ink.
For decades, printers drew proofs, compared them and manually adjusted the amount of ink unit by unit. With the continuous improvement of printing quality requirements, the control desk measuring instrument gradually popularized, and even automatic adjustment of the ink area software has already appeared, but it is still unavoidable to sample scanning this action. By the time a series of detection, adjustment and then ink reaction actions are completed, hundreds of potentially defective printing sheets have been produced, which seems to have deviated from the original intention of color management today with more and more short single live pieces and less and less extension.
To offset printing press technology Roland launched InlineColorPilot link for ink guide control device as an example.
The color management system of Roland uses a console scanner, which enables the whole measurement process to take only a few seconds. It is fast and efficient, and the density and chroma values can be obtained in a single measurement. Once confirmed, the subsequent work is handed over to linecolorpilot.
Linecolorpilot improves productivity by automatically measuring and setting up each printing plate. This helps print companies save significant time, reduce waste, improve color stability, and provide a complete record of the production process. Linecolorpilot can be measured in up to 10 colors, spot colors can be accurately measured. It can be installed on the world‘s largest and fastest offset presses and, thanks to an air self-cleaning system, requires almost no maintenance, helping print companies produce consistently high quality prints.
In the increasingly scarce technical workers, the pace of intelligent manufacturing is faster and faster today, many excellent products are playing its great value.
