ICScolor has updated its digital proofing system, Remote Director, to address the critical need for brands to dynamically incorporate substrates of all types into their digital proofs to improve colour accuracy.
Remote Director users can build a custom library for substrates using LAB or spectral values in .CxF or ANSI’s .cie format. Users can use a spectrophotometer to measure values on poly/plastics, canvas, paper, paperboard, rubber etc. Stora Enso and Sappi brand papers have provided these measured values for their products and new ones are being constantly added.
Remote Director users can dynamically switch between substrates in their virtual proofs to help with design decisions and cost comparisons without ordering physical proofs.
“In this era of continued supply fluctuations, knowing which available substrates will achieve your brand standards without blowing your budget is invaluable,” said ICScolor president Dan Caldwell.
