Giclée London's take on colour management
No matter the extent of colour management measures employed, we firmly believe that the expertise of the individual evaluating your file on a computer screen ultimately determines its success or failure. Their discernment and comprehensive understanding of how materials translate onto various media formats play a pivotal role.
The principal objective of colour management begins with the harmonisation and consistency among colour-rendering devices, such as computer LCD monitors and giclée prints. By leveraging colour management techniques, Giclee London consistently produces uniform visual prints no matter the time between print runs.
Print profiles
When trying to get the best print results on a variety of paper or canvas surfaces, calibration is very important. An ideal balance of ink deposition can be achieved by aligning the printing machine with each specific substrate with care. This meticulous calibration process ensures that the appropriate amount of ink is applied to the substrate, resulting in an accurate and appealing image.
The print may appear dull and lifeless if insufficient ink is applied, which can have negative effects. Colours suffer as a result, undermining the overall impact and failing to effectively convey the intended visual message. Then again, inordinate ink can cause undesirable mutilations, compromising the honesty of the written word. The image’s overall sharpness and definition may be diminished as a result of darker colours bleeding together.
Through exact adjustment, the dangers of both under-inking and over-inking can be alleviated. The careful change of ink levels guarantees that the print finds some kind of harmony, with colours delivered precisely, lively, and particular. High-quality prints that faithfully reproduce the desired visual characteristics on the chosen medium are ultimately the result of this meticulous attention to detail.
As a result, calibration is an essential part of the printing process because it ensures that the artwork or design remains intact while also producing the best possible prints. Calibration enables print professionals to achieve exceptional results that meet the highest quality and visual fidelity standards by ensuring the right ink-to-material ratio.
