CHROMAQA

EASIER PRESSROOM MAKE-READIES, MORE ACCURATE & CONSISTENT COLOR

As brand customers increase the number of SKU’s, decrease their run lengths, and demand an even higher level of color accuracy, reducing your pressroom make-ready times and increasing your color consistency have never been more important for retaining both your customers and your profitability.

ChromaQA is a software solution that works in conjunction with your pressroom spectrophotometers to distill color measurement data into clear, precise, and actionable feedback your operators. With ChromaQA, operators are not required to be highly skilled users of spectrophotometers or computers.

Instead, the software has been designed for simplicity and quickly guides your operators to the optimum color match by removing the guesswork. As a result, ChromaQA can slash your pressroom make-ready times and ensure consistency throughout each press run.

In addition to helping your press operators, ChromaQA also includes dedicated color QC tools for your Ink Department as well as a reporting engine for your Quality Department.

Finally, a cloud-based architecture ensures that you can easily share color standards, jobs, and quality reports across your entire production team.
