Pro-Active Print Quality Assurance
If you or your company looks to improve the consistency of printed packaging in the market, reduce time-to-market for new graphic packaging and products, simplify the churn and expense of print approvals, and increase bandwidth within graphics management resources, please join us for this discussion with Jay Sperry from HAVI Global Solutions.
Packaging makes a first impression. Packaging engages with the target consumer; both before and after the product is purchased. Printed graphics on packaging not only informs and activates key product messaging, when executed correctly they establish the products quality position, and enforce the brand and product experience. Packaging is a manufacturing process, driven by efficiencies and cost management, with a supply chain that is diverse in capabilities, regions, print methods and substrates.
Delivering on-target color across the packaging variables and supply partners requires special attention by dedicated experts managed through an established process workflow. Equally important are managing brand and design expectations with intentional, deliberate color and integrating the execution platform within print and ink supply environments.
Modern times provides for widespread connectivity through internet applications to digital asset management systems, allowing for real-time communication and data exchange across geographic regions and supply stake-holders. Significant advancements in the printing industry over the last decade have brought to market enterprise solutions for syncing production color measurement systems with cloud-based databases of brand standards and designer expectations.
This webinar highlights the critical steps of the art development workflow to integrate best-in-class color management solutions that connect a contracted print supply chain to the brand and graphics developers and managers. Specific examples demonstrate practical applications of the PTIS Print Management strategy and graphic execution practice.
