1. Machine Preparation: The journey begins with a thorough cleaning of our printing machines. This crucial step ensures that there is no residue from previous jobs, guaranteeing that the colors we print are precise and true to the Pantone standards.
2. Color Mixing: Our skilled color technicians embark on the task of mixing the color oil. This is an art in itself, requiring a deep understanding of color theory and the properties of different pigments.
3. Expert Color Matching: Our master printer meticulously mixes the colors, striving for the perfect match. This is a delicate process that demands patience and precision, as even the slightest variation can affect the final output.
4. Continuous Adjustment: We continuously add and adjust the color to reach the desired shade. This iterative process is essential for achieving the exact color match that aligns with the Pantone color book.
5. Color Comparison: Once we believe we've reached the target color, we compare it against the Pantone color book. This step is critical for ensuring that our colors are not only close but identical to the Pantone reference.
6. Trial Printing: With the color matched, we proceed to trial printing. This is where we put our colors to the test, seeing how they translate onto the paper or material.
7. Post-Trial Adjustments: After the trial print, we carefully examine the results and make any necessary adjustments to the color. A helpful tip we follow is to cut a small paper hole for more accurate color matching, making it easier to check against the Pantone guide.
8. Confirmation and Official Printing: Once we're satisfied with the color match, we confirm and commence the official printing process. This is where our expertise in managing the press comes into play, ensuring that the colors remain consistent throughout the print run.
9. Ongoing Quality Control: During the printing process, we conduct spot checks constantly. This helps us monitor the printing effect and make real-time adjustments to the amount of ink and water used, maintaining the highest quality standards.
10. Sampling for Stability: When the printing reaches a stable state, we sample every 200 sheets. This sampling process is our final check to ensure that the quality and color consistency are maintained throughout the entire print run.
