In the second part of a 3-part series on color management, Jason Tempestini, CTO of Rods and Cones, and John Dettmer, Color Expert and Digital Systems Technologist at HP, dive into color management opportunities for HP Indigo press users.

Go here to watch the first part of the color management series.

In this session, Jason and John explore key aspects of color theory, explaining why color perception can vary and how terms like "warmth" and "saturation" can be translated into actionable parameters on a press. The conversation centers around practical solutions for ensuring consistent color quality, from initial press setup to daily operations.

A key focus is the use of HP’s advanced tools like the 3D Color Calibration (3DCC) and Color Beat, which help operators maintain color consistency and identify potential issues before they escalate. Jason and John explain how press operators can simplify complex color adjustments, translating client requests into numerical values for accuracy. They emphasize the importance of regular press checks, media fingerprinting and the use of spot color management to enhance precision.

This is an important session for teams seeking to streamline color management, reduce the risk of miscommunication and ensure high-quality output.
