Promotional Hardcover Books: A dealer perspective on the advancement of color management in promotional Hardcover Books

With the progress and development of color management technology, the original complex color management process has become simple and controllable, but reduce the technical requirements for operators. Therefore, printing enterprises should boldly try the color management system, thoroughly improve the quality of printed products, and improve the production efficiency of enterprises.

-- Yan Jianhai, General Manager of GMG China Limited

I think a complete color management system should run through the entire printing process. The purpose of color management is to establish a color space that can be converted between the display, printer and press, and ultimately achieve accurate color printing.

Therefore, the establishment of a complete color management system requires high-quality hardware equipment support - professional displays, proof presses, CTF/CTP, high-quality printing equipment. Due to the instability of the equipment, the color management software system process is needed to control the equipment process from pre-press to printing in order to ensure the quality of the color management system.

The actual use level of color management at home and abroad is basically different, which is related to the development level of printing technology at home and abroad. Domestic enterprises generally think that advanced hardware equipment is more important, but ignore the importance of software system; At the same time, the understanding of domestic enterprises on color management is not deep, many people even think that color management is digital proofing. In this case, the actual use of the color management system naturally has a certain gap with foreign countries. Color management should include RGB color management (monitor, scanner, color gamut space conversion), digital proofing color management, printing press color management, color inspection. Many large enterprises in Europe have established a complete color management system, and domestic enterprises are still lacking.

Compared with previous years, domestic printing companies have begun to realize that color management technology will be more and more important. The application of digital proofing and CTP technology provides an important way for the accurate transmission and control of modern color. However, due to the diverse conditions of Chinese enterprises, the hardware and software of each process of some enterprises do not match, and the management mode is still dominated by experience, and the lack of effective systematic color management and quality control means. Therefore, although the introduction of first-class high-grade pre-press, printing equipment, but the quality of printing is still not up, color control is still unstable. As a professional color management software manufacturer like GMG, we still need to do more to promote the application of color management in practice.

Now many enterprises still have a misunderstanding that their own personnel and technology are insufficient, and they can not do color management. In fact, with the progress and development of color management technology, the original complex color management process has become simple and controllable, but reduce the technical requirements for operators. Therefore, printing enterprises should boldly try the color management system, thoroughly improve the quality of printed products, and improve the production efficiency of enterprises.

As the leader of high-end color management process, GMG has always been committed to introducing the concept of full-process color management and color standardization to more enterprises, hoping to share high-quality color management products with more users, and promote the technological progress of the printing industry.
