Color Management--Degrees of Separation

Connecting the Dots
Step one for BOPI's zealous Statistical Process Control team would be to get BOPI's ink manufacturer involved. The team commissioned BOPI's ink manufacturers with matching the pigments in the PolaProof ink sheets so that the proof and press sheet were even closer. A spectrophotometer was used to measure the L*a*b readings on the scanning station monitor, the proof, the plate and the press sheet. Adjustments were made and ICC profiles were used to get the differential of all the dots at all stages.
