...colour quality management in print
LinkSpec is a secure portal that allows printers and customers to exchange colour data & print run reports saving time & cutting costs to create efficient remote press passing.
Key Benefits:
- Remote approval of critical colour printing
- Special and brand colour database
- Online sharing of print run metrics
- Pharmaceuticals grade accredited security
Customers (typically brand managers, publishers, retailers and print managers) can place print specifications and  colour definitions in their own web space so that suppliers with the correct access rights can download them for production purposes. Printers in turn can upload print run reports for customer approval creating a streamlined communication dialogue.
Print run and proof reports can include colour metrics, images and user comments so that the exchange of technical data is unambiguous and immediate. Real time print run approval without the expense of travel and time involved in press passing is the objective.
Time saving and speeding up the approval process will reduce overall job costs, improve the financial outcome and prevent problems before they become expensive. It is for instance, quite common for an exact brand colour to be impossible to achieve on a particular customer specified substrate. The printer can in this case upload a report before starting the print run to get customer approval for the non-conformance.
Improved and faster communication between customer and suppliers using a system based on measurement will make  the printing process more attractive to customers and more profitable for printers. Access to the print approval process and technical data online will ultimately reduce the need to travel to approve colours, resulting in a positive environmental impact.
