Color Management in a “Jiffy”
C&S Carton revamped its prepress and press technology to provide color consistency that sells the product.
C&S runs six colors to produce the Jiffy blue box. Three are process colors and three are spot colors—the dark blue, background blue, and a red—specially formulated for Jiffy. Six EPG Smart Fountains, one for each of the six units on the press, control the ink keys. Each Smart Fountain controls 59 ink keys. C&S also uses a densitometer, running color by the numbers instead of the press operator’s best guestimate.
