Consistent, accurate color quality.

The quality of color in your printed piece says volumes about your brand and products. At Quad, getting it right is as critical to us as it is to you. To move image capture to consistently accurate, best-quality color reproduction, we rely on our innovative tools and talented team of color specialists.

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.

Flexible to meet your needs

We offer three levels of color services customized to your needs:

  • Color studios. Our Color Specialists work at your facility full time to correct color side-by-side with your art directors.
  • Virtual (soft) proofing. Using our internally developed soft proofing system, you can mark up color onscreen. Then, send files to Imaging for our Color Specialists to correct remotely, eliminating hard proofs.
  • Regional Imaging Centers. Our Color Specialists work color for you in a traditional prepress workflow/relationship from one of our state-of-the-art imaging facilities.
