For many decades the focus of print businesses was simply to produce work faster and more cheaply, but today the focus has shifted from heavy machinery solutions to the science behind reducing wastage, maximising efficiency and ultimately putting out maximum quality. Mark Anderton, Managing Director of Colour Engine tells us more.
“There is no one size fits all scenario when it comes to choosing software platforms to maximise profitability. Each print business is different, and as such you can’t take a prescriptive approach to software implementation,” says Mark.
He continues: “We relentlessly keep learning, adopting ‘out-there’ solutions so we can fine tune technology and Services that really will make all the difference to our customers, e.g that their colour output is consistent across multiple devices from litho to toner and inkjet.”
“This is why one of the very biggest trade printers in the UK use our Services to ensure they remain as automated as possible”
Colour Engine represent and implement market leading solutions for the graphic arts and printing industry, primarily, but not exclusively in the UK. In its 10th year of trading its watchwords are automation, colour management, and technical lighting.
Mark continues: “As a software distributer and first-up support we represent and have agency for large global vendors and partners in print covering the full array of market needs from pre-press to remote proofing and RIPS to intelligent ink saving.
“Our depth of knowledge really is our core strength, and the ability to go along for a chat with a customer with no obligation or expectations. We don’t flannel them; we seek to understand their business and then present them with a range of solutions to support their growth.”
