Image Color... Color may be subjective, but color quality standards are not. SIC runs to proper data sets developed from the G7 methodology process to ensure your print quality is measured, matched and process repeatable.
SIC believes image quality is achieved by understanding the entire inkjet process. Variable data and artwork preparation, rip and dithering, movement of substrate, type of substrate, ink to surface compatibility, and dot formation plays a big part in the final print quality.
