Baldwin and ColorConsulting renew focus on data connected colour workflow

Colour Solutions

Baldwin Vision Systems and ColorConsulting have announced an agreement under which the co-developed ColorTrack software technology will now be fully owned, managed and developed by ColorConsulting.

According to Carlo Carnelli, general manager of ColorConsulting, ‘We have had a close relationship and development partnership first with QuadTech since 2012, and that continued with Baldwin Vision Systems after QuadTech’s acquisition in late 2017. Our combined engineering teams worked closely to develop a unique colour and ink workflow solution. This agreement is the natural step to give continuity to a project that put the needs of the packaging printer at the centre of our co-development, and a very logical reallocation of resources for both partners.’

ColorTrack software is the heart of a complete colour and ink management workflow solution, sharing live data with Co’lor Measurement with DeltaCam’ and InkWeigh.

Color Measurement with DeltaCam delivers affordable, accurate in line spectral measurement on film, paper, or board – reducing waste and ensuring all printed products are within your customers’ colour specifications. Its high agreement with off line spectrophotometers allows DeltaCam to feed real time spectral data to ColorTrack to support accurate, predictable colour set ups and corrections, minimising colour waste.

Patrick Keller, president of Baldwin Vision Systems, commented: ‘What we are doing with this agreement is focusing both organisations on their particular strengths. We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with ColorConsulting worldwide. We have utmost trust that the Cteam will bring extensive colour knowledge and ink management expertise to focus on ColorTrack now and in the future. This allows us to dedicate more engineering resources to our primary expertise as well – in line colour measurement and the ongoing development of Color Measurement with DeltaCam. We believe that by updating our two companies’ product portfolio focus, ColorTrack and DeltaCam will both be strengthened as vital components in a complete colour management workflow for packaging printers.’
