Colour management & proofing

Make colour, detail and paper work together.

A brand colour is judged on the material that carries it. We plan the print route, colour reference, registration and surface effects together, then use an agreed proof or sample to define the target.

Colour measurement in our production workflow

Single-transfer digital colour

Keep the colour separations aligned.

For suitable digital jobs, a One-Shot workflow assembles the colour separations on an intermediate blanket and transfers them to the stock together. The shared transfer supports colour-to-colour registration around fine type, reverse lettering and multi-colour detail.

That production choice works alongside substrate preparation, colour calibration and artwork. It does not replace a proof on the selected construction or turn every screen colour into a guaranteed print match.

Textured papers

Check the valleys as well as the highlights.

Texture gives paper its character, but it also changes how ink reaches the surface. We review the stock profile and print setup, then look at solid areas, fine lettering and coverage across the grain on a physical example.

Choose the paper tone, print treatment and embellishment together. A foil accent, clear coating or relief mask should complement the grain without losing the small details.
