X-Rite Incorporated and its subsidiary Pantone, today reported that Finnish company Pyroll Packages is the first flexographic printer worldwide to achieve Pantone Certified Printer status.
The programme reviews and analyses every aspect of a printer’s colour operations – from preflight, to file preparation and proofing, to ink formulation and mixing, and to process control in the pressroom. This certification confirms the company’s ability to consistently achieve the most stringent customer colour requirements, efficiently and cost effectively.
‘Our goal was to establish a more stringent colour management programme, expanding beyond visual evaluation to using instruments and digital standards,’ said Mikael Svennas, Pyroll Packages’ CEO, ‘The Pantone Certified Printer process was very thorough, and we learned a great deal. In addition to the process improvements we will achieve as a result of the audit, we will also be able to leverage Pantone’s brand recognition adding even more credibility to our market position.’
