Accurate
color communication starts with a good color specification. Traditionally this
has been done using a physical standard. This physical standard is compared to
production color visually. The subjectivity of this method does not always lead
to satisfactory results.
However,
advances in measurement technology and software now allow brand owners and
designers to specify digital color standards.
How
do you tap into the creativity of a designer, and still be able to communicate
accurate color to others involved in the production process? If a color is
specified in a digital format, it can be
passed down the supply chain (e.g., ink supplier, prepress, press process
control, or post production quality control) and used around the world with no
change, keeping the integrity of the original design. The CxF (Color eXchange
Format) allows global communication with unmatched accuracy across various
instruments and software applications.
The
main characters that need to communicate color are typically:
- Brand Owner – overall responsibility for the brand color and wants to protect that brand while keeping costs under control and meeting deadlines.
- Designer – colors are specified via a pallet (e.g., Pantone) or perhaps a previous printed sample. If a CxF color is specified, color communication is greatly enhanced.
- Prepress – needs to be able to interpret the designer's creation and produce a digital file that can be printed. If a CxF color is specified, it can easily be incorporated in the most popular page layout applications.
- Ink Supplier – needs to mix exact colors, not just CMYK screen combinations, but also many spot colors (Brand Colors). CxF is compatible with advanced ink formulation software.
- Press Process Control – consistency is paramount, even more so if color management is to be employed, CxF can be used as reference files for inline press measurement.
- Post Production Quality Control – needs an objective measure, not subjective judgment. CxF can be used as a reference file for hand-held measurement devices.
- Archive – requires long-term reliable storage, able to reproduce at a later date, and electronically transportable. CxF meets these requirements very nicely.
