|b Find out how to standardize and profile your screen-printing process so that you can keep color adjustments where they belong in prepress. Why do screen printers need to understand and apply color management? The reason is quite simple: Advertisers want their images to be consistent, and color management assures this consistency. Screen printers compete against other's processes, including offset and digital- printing technologies, that are already capable of working within managed color environments. So if a designer can specify that an image be produced with screen printing or a wide-format digital printer (e.g., inkjet, electrostatic), and only the digital-imaging system is color managed, it’s likely that the digital system will win the work. The adaptation of managed color has fallen mostly under the framework of the International Color Consortium (ICC), a body made up of numerous color professionals from all areas of the graphic arts, including photography, instrumentation, scanning, computer technology, printing, display technology, software, and other industries. Although the process of developing coherent color-management strategies is still very much in the formative stage, hardy early adopters are already making it work in daily production. But the complexities of color specification, characterization, profiling, and transformation are still a big reach for the average screen- printing plant. This research is designed to introduce you to key aspects of digital color and how various color models are used to control color reproduction. It describes each of the color-specification models and explains appropriate uses for each. Additionally, it defines common color- management terminology and addresses the issues involved when translating between color models. Research Aim: 1- Achieve better Color Reproduction in Screen-printing. 2- More economical availability. Research Plan: In order to achieve the desired purpose of this research the following points are suggested to be studied: 1- Comparative study to determine the best Profiling Tools to be used in Screen-printing. 2- Undertaking practical and applied experiments to acquire the positive sides of each system. 3- Analyzing and discussing the results, and trying to put a guide for quality specifications of the Screen-printing. 4- Summary and recommendations. - Output profile measurements. - Workflow using colors management software product. - Color managed workflow. - Visual color Evaluation. - General requirements for application in Screen-printing.
