Kodak discusses color control and digital plates at TLMI conference

Kodak color expert Arjen van der Meulen and packaging segment manager Dale Patterson shared insights on color control and digital plates at the 2007 TLMI technical conference, September 5, in Chicago.

Van der Meulen highlighted Kodak’s color technologies that help printers and converters optimize color reproduction, increase efficiency, enhance quality control and improve cycle times to lower costs.

‘In the label converting market, brand owners demand accurate, consistent color to increase recognition, and to boost the in store visibility and shelf appeal of their products,’ said van der Meulen.

Dale Patterson revealed ‘the secrets behind digital plates’ during his session, discussing new options to deliver faster and improved color reproduction, while reducing the total cost of flexo printed packaging.

‘Flexo trade shops, printers and converts are all looking for ways to improve operational efficiencies and reduce costs, while delivering the best possible product to the brand owners they serve,’ said Patterson. ‘The latest digital plate technologies are meeting these needs and exceeding users’ expectations.’
