Saint-Jérôme, Quebec, January 27, 2009 - Paper is an important factor in reproducing colours and projects must be carefully managed to achieve optimal results. Cascades, in conjunction with Québec based TGLC, has developed a new tool to facilitate the printing process for projects on Rolland Enviro100 Print paper.
The ICC (International Color Consortium) colour profile optimally separates colours and shows them as they will actually appear on press. This is achieve by taking into account the specifics of the paper and type of printing process chosen, being web or sheet-fed. Used at the design stage or during the printer’s pre-press, the colour profile provides better consistency throughout the project.
In addition to being a really simple method for obtaining optimal colour output, using the colour profile has several advantages in the printing process. Colours on the press can be adjusted much quicker and colour stability during printing is better, which result in less paper being wasted. Using the right quantity of ink also provides substantial ink savings of up to 30%.
This project is in line with Cascades vision to do more and better with less. The colour profile allows for efficient use of paper, with less ink and less waste. Therefore, the colour profile means cost savings and a reduced environmental footprint.
