Ricoh developed the new Auto Color Adjuster to speed up the labour intensive process of achieving precise colour reproduction from system to system, and job to job. It can help commercial printers overcome the complexities and staffing challenges associated with professional colour management by enabling team members to create ICC profiles in a matter of minutes, match colour from pre-printed samples, and run jobs across multiple systems.
Commercial printers can expand into colour critical markets, increase production versatility, streamline production processes and improve the quality and consistency of the jobs they deliver.
Jolene Castelyn, Marketing Executive at Ricoh South Africa, said, ‘Achieving precise colour reproduction from system to system, and job to job, can be tedious and labour-intensive. The RICOH Auto Color Adjuster combines Ricoh’s advanced optical and digital technologies to adjust colours automatically. It transforms a commercial print operation into a more productive and profitable entity by reducing the complexities associated with professional colour management.’
The RICOH Auto Color Adjuster can help commercial printers win new work with the ability to reproduce colours from unknown sources, printed images, digital and offset technologies. They can also expand into colour critical markets with Ricoh’s advanced optical and digital technologies, enabling fast measurement and the automatic adjustment of colours; increase production capacity with fast, precise colour matching (Automatic ICC profile generation increases productivity and accommodates short run repeat orders); and drive production flexibility and increase profit margins with the freedom to run jobs at any time as there is no need to schedule colour critical jobs around an expert.
Users can streamline production with easy verification of colour adjustments against compliance standards while colour samples can be matched perfectly, and ensure reliable colour consistency across multiple jobs and reduce costly reprints and missed deadlines through the removal of colour variation. All digital production devices across all sites can be centrally managed via the vendor-diagnostic system, and runs can be split across different devices to meet client deadlines.
Eef de Ridder, Vice President, Graphic Communications Group, Ricoh Europe said, ‘Time taken to manually adjust colour to meet print buyers’ demands can quickly impact profitability, while the costs of trial and error, blocking precious press time to troubleshoot and employing a colour expert all mount up. RICOH Auto Color Adjuster speeds up the process. It empowers commercial printers to take on new jobs and work that was previously out of reach, and so expand their client base.’
