Overview

Color Workflow Assessment

The Production Systems Analyst will perform a top level analysis of the customer’s print environment, including current state analysis of equipment, processes and applications. The assessment will include an evaluation of the customer’s current color management processes; a gap analysis based on jointly identified issues, barriers, or areas of improvement; and recommendations on how to improve the existing color environment. The evaluation may include recommendations for equipment, software, training of staff, or changes to desktop application settings or color management standards within the print environment based on the customer’s unique requirements. Additional customer specific color management services may be recommended, including profiling services or G7 Master Printer Qualification.
