TL-COLOR INK

TL-COLOR

Color Management System

In order to maximize the performance of TL-COLOR Ink and ensure that stable color printing is constantly achieved, we have developed a unique color management system (TL-COLOR Management System) that is centered on the TAKA Proof System. By combining advanced ink formulation technology and cutting-edge image processing technology, creative color expression on an unprecedented level is made possible, and stable color reproduction is consistently realized even with a wide variety of printing methods and printers.

Finely tuned integration of inks and CMS

Our solutions maximize the performance of inks that have been optimally designed for all kinds of printing methods,
allowing them to be printed on a range of media, including paper, plastics, and metals.
TL-COLOR Ink is under strict quality control by TAKA ourselves together with the most prestigious manufacturers
in Japan.

Special Features of TL-COLOR Color Management System

Feature 1 : Brilliant Coloring Coupled with Smooth Gradation Expression

The amount of ink used is optimized based on the ink absorption performance of TL-COLOR Ink on various types of media, and the color reproduction range is maximized. In addition, TL-COLOR Ink volume control technology and TL-COLOR Ink printing technology have been developed, and brilliant coloring is successfully achieved together with smooth, subtle gradation properties across the entire color reproduction range.

Feature 2 : Color Management of TL-COLOR Ink through Colorimetry

When printing was undertaken in the past using fluorescent ink, operations that depended on instincts and experience,
such as adjustment of image data and ink volume, had to be repeatedly performed in order to reproduce targeted colors.
As a result, a great deal of time and money were wasted to finally produce the final printed material. At TAKA, we developed a new colorimetry system for quantitative understanding of colors that emit light when exposed to ultraviolet light. The foundation for color management of TL-COLOR Ink was established by the use of this system.

Feature 3 : Cutting-Edge Color Management System for UV Fluorescent Ink

Using the colorimetry system for TL-COLOR UV Fluorescent Ink, we have successfully developed the world’s first ICC Profile for UV Fluorescent Ink, and unique color management technologies. These TAKA’s cutting-edge technologies add significant value to printed materials through accurate color control and incomparable color balance for UV Fluorescent invisible ink.

Feature 4 : Higher Printing Efficiency

When printing was undertaken in the past using fluorescent ink, operations that depended on instincts and experience, such as adjustment of image data and ink volume, had to be repeatedly performed in order to reproduce targeted colors.
At TAKA, the color of the final printed material is controlled by acquiring data on printer properties using the colorimetry system for TL-COLOR Ink, preparing a unique profile for the printer, and then reflecting such information into the proofing data. This allows you to obtain targeted color much more easily and to minimize loss of time and printing materials for maximum efficiency. TL-COLOR Management system realizes well-balanced, uniform color even with various different printing methods and medias that helps you maximize your process efficiency.
