Approving Brand Colors on Digital Printing Equipment

Approve brand colors on the actual substrate using a defined reference and viewing condition. A color name alone does not guarantee the same appearance across materials.

Define the target Ask whether the reference is a physical sample, specified color value or an approved earlier print. Record the substrate and finish of the target. Explain when the new material or ink system produces a different appearance.

Record the approved result Print a comparison under controlled conditions and document the chosen file and RIP settings. If measurement is part of the contract, agree the method and tolerance before production. Keep a sample for repeat orders and reapprove meaningful process changes.
