COLOUR INTERLINK SOFTWARE TRANSFORMATIONS

 

Design data from the cad cam station may be exported using different formats and different colour environments.

 

We recommend Adobe RGB , or LAB. Only if you are working within a restrictive colour space is it sensible to use SRGB (equivalent of CYMK colour space). With the inks available today it is possible when 6 or more colored inks are used, to print closer to what is seen on the monitor by using the Adobe RGB 1998 colour environment.

 

 

The following diagrams show the different areas of colour environment.

Formats include vector such as EPS, PS, PDF (1 layer) and there are many raster formats including Tiff, JPEG, BMP, GIF

 

The ICC tags accompanying the design data removes the distortion of the individual monitor. Colours become easier then to reproduce.

This is advised for soft signage and flags and banner work.
