True Colors

The right toolset

Fortunately, a profusion of such tools—some standalone, some integrated—is available to reduce the risks associated with complex, multicolor package printing by detecting and measuring color changes at various stages of the workflow. In addition to densitometers and spectrophotometers, other instrumentation includes colorimeters, chart readers, plate readers, and profile creation software, as well as camera-based systems designed to measure plates and confirm dot structure and accuracy.
