There are a number of applications for packaging and printing that rely on some aspect of cloud computing. For example, there are remote servers that drive inkjet printers so print customers can review and even approve color-accurate proofs sent from their marketing services/prepress providers. Color data in a central database can be exchanged between different companies and locations, ensuring that a color specified in a packaging designer's palette is accurate for the ink, substrate and press for which it is intended. And with some applications you can take color-bar readings from a remote press run and validate the color accuracy of the job.
