Image Test Labs (ITL), a division of Technology Watch, LLC, is launching its innovative colour management and press grading process in the UK.
ITL’s patent pending process measures the acceptance of an image rather than the image itself against a well-defined, objective list of performance parameters. The ITL report grades key press performance factors on a scale of A through F, rather than displaying performance as complex data such as average multiple delta-E, microns, and density units.
‘ITL has had rapid growth and we have made a lot of progress since we launched the service in the U.S. in October. We have worked with print providers who want to understand how their particular presses are operating as well as press manufacturers who want a unique perspective of their presses’ performance before they are released to the field,’ explained Henry Freedman, principal developer. ‘We’re getting such quick adoption now that at Ipex we have decided to introduce the service to users in the United Kingdom.’
The introduction coincides with Mr Freedman’s participation as a speaker at the Ipex 2014 World Print Summit. As a panellist during the session ‘Colour Confidence – An Audience with the Innovators,’ Mr Freedman will discuss the company’s recently-developed colour measurement and press grading process and explain how it is changing how the industry evaluates digital and conventional presses.
