COLOUR IS THE MASTER

 

To reproduce a colour, a different recipe is calculated for each different substrate.

 

If you use the same recipe over different substrates and different printer set ups the colours will not be the same from one sample to the next. You need every sample to be close as possible.

 

sample 1

 

The range and uniformity of colours achieved depends on:

: pre-treatment and post treatment of the cloth

: chosen inks, pigments or dyes

: how the Rip creates the recipes and coverage used

: implementation of variable dot sizes & dot levels

sample 2

: accuracy of the profile

: type of dither pattern to create colour area

: data format of the image & how this is transformed to give

smooth uniform areas of colour

Smooth look is acceptable Blotches or dots are unacceptable
