Kaiyin Technology Color Management Practice Training Exchange - The 3rd Session Successfully Concluded

Release Time： 2023-05-06 09:58:03.148

Under the new situation, in order to adapt to the national intelligent manufacturing development strategy, printing and packaging enterprises Improving printing standardization and color management is an urgent task. Good color management must rely on measuring tools, and X-Rite color measuring instruments are essential color measuring tools for printing and packaging enterprises. Combined with the application of GMG color management software, it can effectively solve the problems of color stability and consistency, as well as the efficiency and cost of proofing and signing for printing and packaging enterprises. On March 17, many technical backbones from the printing and packaging industry gathered together at X-Rite's & Kaiyin Technology Color Laboratory in Shenzhen's Deep-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone, successfully held a practical training on color management standardization. Through this color management standardization training course, students learned in detail about X-Rite measuring instruments Exact functions and application skills, and how to help improve printing quality. At the same time, we also conducted basic training on color management principles, so that operators know both the what and the why. Understanding the principles will allow for better application of instrument functions in production practice, better problem identification, and problem solving. X-Rite expert Chen Changchun, Kaiyin Technology experts Chen Shaozhong, Hu Youliang, and Yang Huan respectively shared detailed information on color management basic principles, detailed explanation and practical operation of exact and exact2 generations, practical operation explanation of eXact Auto Scan and pressSign scoring software, and GMI certification high-score skills.

1. Basic Principles of Color Management

From a preliminary analysis of the root cause of color generation and the basic attributes of color to color models, from the three elements of light source, object, and observation to demonstrate the importance of data in color management, the latest ISO12647-2 international standard is how to achieve color management through the calculation methods and principles that make color measurement data closer to human eye observation.

ISO 13655, ISO 3664 and ISO 5 standard revisions

2. Detailed explanation and practical operation of exact and exact2 generations

X-Rite eXact series spectrophotometers are the industry benchmark for measuring color in the printing and packaging industry. X-Rite eXact series spectrophotometers can be used for color measurement of paper, film, or other substrates, and are the most accurate and consistent color difference meters on the market. Students also felt the new features of exact2 demonstration and hands-on experience.

3. eXact Auto Scan operation and pressSign scoring software practical operation explanation.

eXact Auto Scan is one of the keys to maintaining printing competitiveness. They have always helped many printing workshops simplify and shorten printing time, efficiently, accurately, and professionally communicate color with machines, customers, and quality. This training covered everything from track scanning operation to software function introduction, standard establishment, and color strip editing. Finally, everyone had an in-depth discussion on how to meet customer and international standards, on the control of hue, overprinting, dot gain, and gray balance, using theory plus practical experience summary, achieving effective experience sharing and interaction.

4. In GMI/G7 certification, how to achieve high scores using X-Rite instruments

The one-day training was over before the students knew it. The training included laughter, discussion, sharing, and gains. Through the training, students truly experienced the importance and practical significance of color management in their work.

At the same time, everyone was also curious about GMG packaging physical proofing, which can directly perform fast digital proofing on the paper used in printing production. Ms. Li Yuhong from Kaiyin Technology also shared a simple introduction on how physical proofing and international standard samples match.

DeltaOne Rotary Online Scanning – Real-Time Color Inspection

What do printing plants dread most? Downtime. Each shutdown wastes at least 100 meters of material. Whether it’s for color measurement, color adjustment, or final confirmation, by the end of the day, the time spent idling often exceeds the actual printing time.

Mismatch between screen and printed sheet colors? Kaiyin lets the solution do the talking.

What’s the one thing a printing shop dreads most? “I think the color is off. You spent the whole afternoon tweaking it on the screen, but the client says it’s out of color. You even approved the proof, yet the printed result still doesn’t match. The screen shows one shade, the prepress proof shows another, and the final print ends up looking completely different.”

How do you interpret spectral curves? Three tips to decode the “data code” behind color.

The most common phrase you’ll hear in a print shop is, “This color just doesn’t feel right.” Yet the very word “feeling” is precisely what color management seeks to eliminate. Whether a color is accurate shouldn’t be left to intuition—it should be determined by data. And at the very foundation of all color data lies the spectral curve.
