Contract Proofing

For Colgraphix UK, colour management sits at the very core of our business. Digital contract proofing is where we learned our colour management skills, and accumulated our vast knowledge and experience, gained over more than 20 years of supplying and supporting proofing systems.

Digital proofing technology has advanced immensely over the past years and still plays a crucial part in any graphics arts production process. It improves quality, consistency and repeatability, and reduces time-scale, wastage and costs.

Our digital proofing solutions are based around:

• Industry standard, high quality digital inkjet printing machines
• Fiery XF software RIP systems
• Specially selected range of FOGRA / ISO certified proofing papers
• Optionally complemented with colour measuring devices (spectrophotometers)
• Backed up by our team of colour management experts, providing first class installation, training and on-going support

The crucial part of the system is delivered by our colour specialists, creating customised media ICC profiles, to optimise the performance of the printer / paper combination, and to ensure that results conform to applicable FOGRA / ISO standards.

Integration into the existing production workflow, advice on how to setup graphics design software applications and operator’s colour management training, are all essential ingredients that Colgraphix Limited provides in order to deliver a complete proofing system.

Like any other complex technological system, proofing systems, have a tendency to change their behaviour and characteristics over time, due to variations in components, environment, age and general wear & tear. It is therefore imperative to constantly monitor its performance and take regular steps to bring it back to its desired state.

Colgraphix UK can empower their customers to achieve this, either by supplying the tools and training to do it in-house, or providing the service on an on-going basis.
