Colour Management

More to colour management than what the eye can perceive

Managing colour accuracy has gone far beyond the visible visual spectrum. Given that we work on different colour formats the need to standardize colour on the printing press becomes something of paramount importance. At Indigo Press we use sophisticated offset machines in tandem with automated colour management technologies to help recreate exactly what the Designer’s & Brand Managers envisaged.

The result is true to life colours that are representative of the brand and create a lasting impression in the minds of the viewers/readers.

Density Management

Managing density and dot gain to ensure 100% adherence to print quality

Reflective density is the measure of the percentage of light reflected from the substrate and the ink. At the same time, printing on offset tends to affect the dot screens used and the result is Dot Gain. This dot gain results in a 50% screen becoming a 70% screen on the printed sheet. At Indigo press we use sophisticated Densitometers and correct the screens used on our printing plates to compensate for dot gain. The result is a visible improvement in the image detail and levels of density, with even dark colours becoming more vivid.

The result is true to life representation of images and colours that stand out and grab attention.
