Company:
Based in Palermo, Italy, Officine Grafiche is a print service provider that combines technological innovation with masterful craftsmanship. The company works with publishers, public sector agencies, and businesses, and produces brochures, catalogues, books, and customised packaging and promotional materials.
Challenge:
Ensuring accurate colour matching is critical for Officine Grafiche when printing output for clients. However, inspection, calibration, and profiling processes often involved multiple adjustments and manual checks that were time consuming and complex. To increase production efficiency, Officine Grafiche wanted to simplify colour management, achieving consistent colour output across both offset and digital printers.
Solution & Benefits:
To develop a consistent, repeatable colour matching workflow for its digital and offset printers, Officine Grafiche deployed the Ricoh Auto Color Adjuster (RACA). Following testing, the company chose the RACA for its intuitiveness, high read speeds, and the precision of its colour profiles. With the Ricoh solution, Officine Grafiche has accelerated colour inspection and profiling, increasing accuracy and cutting waste. The solution has also helped new operators increase their knowledge of colour management and calibration.
Solution & services provided:
- Ricoh Auto Color Adjuster for precise colour matching
- On-site testing in the production environment
- Expert technical support to facilitate adoption
“RACA has made colour management simpler and more intuitive, engaging younger staff and strengthening our culture of quality. A great achievement.”
