Closed Loop Color Control - Modernize Your Press, Increase Your Profits

What is Closed Loop Color Control for Print?

Closed loop color control is a modern color management system designed to automate and optimize the process of maintaining color accuracy on press. This process of modernizing your press helps companies to increase profits by reducing waste and decreasing make-ready times.

Closed loop control involves continuous, real-time monitoring of printed output using measurement devices—such as spectrophotometers or spectrodensitometers. These devices detect color deviations and automatically feed data back to the press console, where ink key adjustments are made without operator intervention. The result is faster make-readies, reduced waste, and consistently accurate color throughout the press run.

Why Choose Closed Loop?

Closed loop press side color management improves the stability of your print processes on older presses —especially on older or legacy offset presses that weren’t originally designed with automated controls. This enhancement is particularly critical today, as customers increasingly demand exceptional color accuracy and repeatability throughout their print supply chain. Brand owners expect printed pieces to match exact color targets every time, and printers who cannot meet those demands risk losing valuable business. Closed loop control for offset presses decreases make-ready times and increase efficiency, as press operators are able to quickly scan and measure entire color bars.

Rather than turning away or losing jobs because you can’t meet a customer’s color expectations or pricing requirements, modernizing your presses with closed loop systems makes it possible to deliver the right product at the right price point. The technology not only helps you compete in today’s demanding market but also improves internal efficiency—leading to higher productivity and healthier profit margins.
