Color confidence.
From proof to press.
Make production decisions with a clearer understanding of how your press, inks, and substrate work together.
How we help
Color & press optimization
Our color-management approach starts with understanding the printing condition. Press fingerprinting and compensation curves help us align separations and proofing with the way a job will print. We work with your team to define expectations and investigate differences between the target and the printed result.
- Press fingerprinting and characterization
- Color management across printing conditions
- Dot-gain compensation curves
- Technical discussion of print consistency
Before we begin
A clearer
starting point.
A few useful answers before your first conversation with FPD.
What should I send for an initial enquiry?
Tell us the packaging application, substrate, printing process, and the challenge you want to address. If available, include plate specifications and a reference image. Our team will confirm which production details and artwork files are needed next.
Can FPD support us if we make plates in-house?
Contact us to discuss the prepress, color separation, fingerprinting, or technical support you need. The scope can be discussed around your existing production setup.
How is the plate option selected?
The discussion starts with your press, substrate, ink system, plate specifications, and print target. FPD can review these requirements with your team before proposing an option.
How do I confirm lead time and pricing?
Send your project details to our team. Scope, artwork readiness, material requirements, and delivery needs are reviewed before lead time and pricing are confirmed.
