What's the most challenging aspect of print production? It's reproducing color, of course! In a print-perfect world, the color you produce for your customers is always perfect. In reality, reproducing color accurately across product lines using various printing processes is unique and challenging.

The key to success is to have a foundational understanding of color management. Without it, you're more likely to print bad color, increase rework, hurt your brand's image--or worst of all, hurt your customer's brand image. Color management isn't difficult--all you need is to learn the process, a few best practices, and how to implement it properly. Never fear, we've got you covered with the PRINTING United Alliance Color Ready! virtual event!

With its brief 20-minute tutorial-style format, Color Ready! will give anyone involved in the color printing supply chain a convenient and powerful learning experience. Whether you're a creative, brand professional, production specialist, or a color management expert, there are tutorials that are well-matched and relevant for you. Up your color management knowledge with valuable, practical techniques to help you print the most accurate, consistent color.

 

 

Nazdar extends Chinese screen inks distribution network with expanded Halic Technology Company deal

Nazdar's ink experts worked with Modern Ink to convert their Mimaki® JFX200-2513 to 707 Series Inks, and provided training on color, process, and analysis to improve production performance overall for the shop.

"Initially we were concerned that our existing color profiles would not work with the new ink, but found that Nazdar 707 Series inks match the OEM so closely, we couldn’t tell at what point the OEM inks ran out and the Nazdar inks started printing," says Artur Suchecki, Designer/Print Operator, Artgraf.

Nazdar Ink Technologies has announced the launch of their 707 Series, a UV-LED ink series that is plug-and-play for Mimaki® JFX200 & JFX500 series printers using LUS150 Series.

Nazdar Ink Technologies has announced the launch of their 706 Series, a UV-LED ink series that is plug-and-play for Mimaki® UJV, UJF, JFX, and SIJ series printers using LUS120 Series.

Nazdar Ink Technologies announces the launch of the 708 Series, a UV-LED ink series that is plug-and-play for Mimaki® UCJV300 and UCJV150 printers using LUS170 Series. 708 Series is the first of a three-ink collection which will include additional plug-and-play offerings for Mimaki® LUS120 and LUS150. Announcements regarding these additional inks will follow in the coming months.

Travis Barcelona, Nazdar Inkjet Product Development Manager, recently assisted ten members of the Nazdar team in achieving PRINTING United Digital Color Professional Qualification. The training covers color theory, additive vs. subtractive color space, CIE L*a*b*, rendering intents, the color management pyramid, spot color matching and verification, and much more.

In the news release below, Ronnie Coogan from Nazdar and Chris Bailey from QPS look back over the 20-year bond between the two companies.
