Fogra certified print certification will be the aim for many printers and MPX360 can help plan and implement the work needed. Fogra prepare and research all print datasets produced and published as ICC Profiles for the ECI (European Color Initiative). Fogra certification is the defacto standard for any professional looking to validate their prepress or print processes.
Standardisation and process control aids in ensuring quality and repeatability. This does not differ in the printing industry where multiple processes must be standardised in order to achieve optimal manufacturing figures and a quality product.
For printers, Standardisation is rarely implemented and understood. Some printers consider the standardisation of procedures to be costly, time consuming, and ineffective. For those people, it is necessary to consider that standardisation is a way for their print methods to comply with simple rules that have been agreed between industry experts and their clients alike. Print standardisation is a framework of simple procedures that will guide your organisation toward printing more predictably, efficiently, and most importantly will improve the product quality you deliver to your client.
For publishers, Fogra standards represent a route to more consistant reproduction of images, maintenance of Advertising colour fidelity and streamlining the communication lines between production and the final printed product. As a publisher, you may be considering a "repro free" production chain, you are trying to reduce costs but minimise the obvious effect on production and your product. MPX360, with our standardised approach can help you to achieve your ROI goals AND improve the quality of the products you produce today..
In each case the difference is the superior quality and consistency of the image that conforms to a standard and the more predictable the resulting proof and print.
PDF's that do not conform to a standard are likely to be difficult to print and could wind up with a job rejection, wasting both printer and publishers time and resource.
ISO Standardisation will save you time and money, reducing make ready times, reducing White waste and helping you successfuly implement Ink saving technologies.
