Why ChromaQA?
Award-winning SmartInk technology for precise ink toning
SmartInk AI-driven technology removes the guesswork from toning ink by providing a “mini” formulation engine capable of getting to perfect color with typically just 1 correction. SmartInk levels the playing field for technicians of all skill levels. It is extremely easy to set up and use and provides ink recipe corrections using the customer’s own ink system and base inks.
Inkroom Quality Control with actionable recommendations
Measure drawdowns and see PASS/FAIL results for ∆E, Ink Strength, Metamerism Index and Contrast/Opacity. ChromaQA removes the guesswork by applying color science to deliver precise batch corrections through InkCheck, including optimal density adjustments and exact anilox recommendations for flexo printers with SmartAnilox.
Cloud-based color standards & Ink Management
Create dependent color standards for your specific substrate and print conditions. Share seamlessly through the cloud across your organization and workflow. Search and locate colors by Name, Custom Tags, and even ∆E matching tolerances. Create new standards by measuring physical samples, importing CxF, entering CIELab values, generating spectral data from CIELab values, or connecting to PantoneLIVE. Quickly flags when new colors or drawdowns are needed, or when duplicates can be removed.
