Chromatix® Color Control
Minimize Press Down-Time
Press time is the most expensive time in your shop. Color
control is the most common reason for down time; but
color can be controlled on press through instrumentation.
We can show you how!
Make All Color Corrections in Prepress
Prepress is the low cost center for color changes. A
calibrated and balanced proof is accurate to the file. Let
us show you how to make all color adjustments in
prepress and use the proof for approval. Digital proofing is
the low cost method to proof an image and can be for
both screen and wide format digital printing.

- Prepress training for image manipulation for printing
- Prepress training for proofing accuracy & calibration
- Screen making training to eliminate the three most
common screen making mistakes made by every printer
- On-press training for operators to learn how to quickly
identify color problems with the use of instrumentation

Achieve Consistency through Documentation
We provide standard operating procedures written for
each process area and training on how to use the proce-
