Dome Printing on Color Management
There will never be one industry color standard—and that is not an industry catastrophe, says Tim Poole, vice president of Sacramento, CA-based Dome Printing. "We can live by color standards, but you have to be able to print to those standards," he remarks. Poole believes that there are so many substrates and technologies that the industry must contend with, that there are simply too many different variables. "To try to contain them to one standard is really going to do an injustice to the industry," he claims.
