Color Management in a “Jiffy”

“We were running a 5-color 77˝ Harris from 1970 until about two years ago,” says Don Stephan, plant manager, C&S Carton. “It had cloth dampeners and was badly in need of major repair. When we went to proof the new graphics on our shells, the owner realized we couldn’t reach the color quality (the brightness of the red on the flag) that he wanted to achieve. So we replaced the older press with another 77˝ Harris—a 6-color this time—and upgraded it with the EPG system and Dahlgren dampeners.”
