The Effect of Substrate Variables on Color Reproduction, Management and Measurement

Wednesday - May 13, 1:00-2:00 PM Eastern

Learn ways to better produce and predict color and quality on the substrates you choose.

The substrate you select has a huge impact when it comes to the final quality and predictability of color reproduction. Changing the substrate for a job can require a completely different approach to color compensation in prepress.

The growing amounts of optical brighteners being used in production stocks today are creating new challenges in color management and color predictability.

• Learn how specific substrates can affect color output

• Learn what to expect for a given paper type

• Learn current methods for predicting and compensating for the degrading effects of optical brighteners
