Visual and metrological characterization of metallic effects to increase process reliability in packaging printing
Prepress technology 05/31/2024
The aim is to clarify which properties in human perception are responsible for the expression of the metallic effect.
Professional colour communication in multiprimary printing
Prepress technology 05/13/2024
This project aims to develop important prerequisites for a predictable and industrial multi-color workflow.
D50noUV
Prepress technology 03/25/2024

Improving textile colour communication
Prepress technology 06/01/2020
The TextileRGB research project aims to develop basic principles for the colour characterization of digitally printed textiles.
Barcode
Prepress technology 03/31/2020
Improving the printability and legibility of 1D and 2D codes in inkjet printing.
Image Quality
Digitaldruck 10/01/2015
Basis for standardization of digital production printing using toner based and large format inkjet printers.
We evaluate any type of print artefacts or the coordination between prepress and press. This includes prints that are erroneously referred to as contract proofs, but which are not colour-binding and can therefore lead to serious approval problems.
We also thoroughly check raster images as well as complex PDF files. Complications and complaints are usually caused by print data that has not been prepared correctly.
Softproof Monitor
A colour-consistent display on the monitor is no magic trick, even if there are many pitfalls in practice. We have developed the necessary criteria and tolerances in our research projects and have decisively initiated the corresponding ISO standards 12646 (Monitor Cert) and 14861 (Softproof System).
