ColorPath Echo
ColorPath Echo is a comprehensive analysis and comparison of a digital proof and a press sheet. A ColorPath test file is sent to you for imaging. Our FTSS consultant uses color analysis tools to produce a report on the color reproduction characteristics of your shop. This data can also be compared to industry specifications such as SWOP and GRACoL. Our consultant then delivers a comprehensive report to you and helps your team interpret the information for possible action. ColorPath Echo can be a one-time service or can be incorporated into a comprehensive, renewable support contract (delivered quarterly) to cover your ongoing color process control.Features:
