Ensure Color Quality in Your Catalogs

If a cataloger prefers to continue to work with an outside color house, that’s OK, too, says Stadler. The key to a successful relationship is communication.

“The printer needs to know what type of proof the prepress service uses and the type of files that are being provided,” he suggests. “The printer should be involved with the prep house on a regular basis to be sure everyone is on the same page. We are a big proponent of testing files before production to ensure color accuracy.”
