hubergroup extends color management system HDCC

The already established system HDCC (hubergroup Digital Colour Communication) serves as the basis for hubergroup’s digital color communication. The patented system does not only store color and recipe data, but also takes existing data into account and prevents duplications. This avoids multiple elaborations of the same color.  

 

Additionally, HDCC features a quality control process relying on digitally stored master color data as well as highly stable standard paper. Patrick Hübel, head of Color Service Europe at hubergroup, explained: ‘HDCC is a standardization program with which we ensure that our customers receive exactly the color they want – all over the world. This is possible because all locations have access to the same, verified information.’   

 

As an extension to HDCC, hubergroup now integrates digital print folders.   

 

‘Our tests showed that our digital print folders are very convincing in terms of color accuracy, reproducibility, and lightfastness – and we can process them more efficiently than their analog predecessor. This allows faster production and more flexibility for our customers,’ reported Heinz Aumüller, responsible for Prepress and Process Standardisation at hubergroup.  

 

‘The digital print folder is fully integrated into our in-house developed color management system HDCC. Therefore, it is verified based on the final physical match and follows the same verification rules as the analog print folder to guarantee the high-quality criteria our customers expect from us.’
