Association Insights: Color Is Perception…Gain Control with Color Management

Color is imperative when it comes to customer satisfaction. Achieving accurate color reproduction independent of substrate, consumable, and process saves you prepress and production costs. It also improves your customer service because, ultimately, it is the customer who decides if a color reproduction matches their design.
