This chapter gives a high-level view of the production process for HQCC (High Quality Color Control).
Color Pyramid flow for PSP and Brand
The general guidelines for achieving the best colors on any printing technology device in general, and on
HP Indigo digital presses in particular, can be represented as a
color management pyramid
.
All the steps of this pyramid —from the solid foundation at the bottom to the production at the top— are
critical for achieving best color matching and stability.
For detailed description of the processes involved follow the links below to the relevant procedures for each work
area and function (see the table under the pyramid).
