Ensuring consistent, accurate color quality.

From image capture through to press, we have the tools and talent to deliver on our promise of consistent, accurate, high-quality color reproduction.

Our tools span high-speed scanners, top retouching and profiling software, precision color-calibrated monitors and cutting-edge proofing systems. Coupled with our proprietary closed-loop color control system on press, we have a lock on color matching to your specifications. Our talent, meanwhile, is comprised of a team of color specialists who have extensive knowledge in color theory and science, including both CMYK and RGB workflows. They can understand your color needs and work closely with your key creative and production staff to meet your color expectations.

In addition to following standard operating procedures and well-established workflows, we match our proofing systems to color profiles created to the International Color Consortium (ICC) specification. This helps us tighten the standards for color management as we profile for both paper and press type and fine-tune color matching throughout the entire process.

Color expertise in your backyard

From locations in major cities where our clients are concentrated to more integrated operations where we place resources — i.e., staff, equipment and technology —- onsite or near a client's facility, Quad/Imaging provides side-by-side service you can trust. Having a presence closer to you fosters communication and provides the ideal conditions for collaboration, including the opportunity for us to gain a solid understanding of your business while better educating you about our ever-changing technology.

Saving time through soft proofing

View, mark up and approve color quickly and easily through SoftProofX, our internally developed soft proofing system that ultimately eliminates the time and hassle of multiple rounds of hard-copy proofs. Designed to simplify color communications, SoftProofX enables multiple users (regardless of their location) to view color simultaneously. Along with the latest software to color calibrate your LCD monitor, SoftProofX also ensures the color you see onscreen is consistent with the color you will see through final press proofs and on press.
