Color Matching you can trust
The standard color gamut of KODAK NEXPRESS Digital Production Color Presses is already 20% greater than that of standard offset four-color printing. The KODAK NEXPRESS Intelligent Color Solution adds a red, green, or blue dry ink, increasing this expanded gamut an additional 16 to 22%. The result? More accurate reproduction of Pantone Colors or other custom colors in brand elements as well as better reproduction of previously difficult-to-match wide gamut colors. Color Gamut allows you to maintain brand colors with Pantone® PMS or Goe or other custom color matching, incorporate personalization for higher response or grow volume of print with critical color match.
Color Gamut FAQ’s:
1. How do I prepare my files to take advantage of the expanded color gamut offered by the KODAK NEXPRESS Fifth Imaging Unit?
- Provide your photos in RG B with their input color profiles intact and let the press do the conversion:
- In Adobe Photoshop Software in the “Save As” menu, check “Embed Color Profile”
- The press’s software can determine the optimal settings
- If your images are available only in CMYK, there won’t be enough information to realize a benefit from the fifth color
2. How do I set up my files to match a Pantone Color or other special color?
- Set up all your graphic elements as spot Pantone Colors, not their four-color equivalents
- The press software will help the press operator decide which fifth dry ink will yield the best results
- Be sure to name your spot color properly, or select it from the menu (for example, “Pantone 1787 C”)
