Color Management Techniques Sharing | What Is Ink Color Strength?

In printing processes, ink color strength is a core technical indicator for assessing ink quality, specifically reflecting the color saturation and tinting intensity on the printing substrate. This metric directly influences the visual appearance of the final printed product, involving multi-dimensional factors such as pigment coloring performance, dispersion techniques, formulation ratios, and printing parameters. According to industry measurement data, high-quality inks can reduce the color difference range in printed materials by more than 30%, significantly enhancing the product's market competitiveness.
