The Contract Proof - 2000

But having stable color is one thing. Having the right color to begin with is another. The big question facing commercial printers intent on consistent proofing is: Does the right color mean a universal color standard?

LaBaugh takes a shot: "Some industry gurus are working toward a universal color standard. There is even a prediction that the universal standard will be based on a cleaner, more saturated color set—Hexachrome could be seen to fit the bill for those criteria," she reports. "Whether the standard is universal or based on an existing industry standard, we are committed to providing a range of industry-standard color sets—SWOP, GRACoL, Hexachrome, Eurocolours, also Opaque White and Pantone specialty colors including metallics."
