Color consistency, quality output, less waste—these are just a few of the benefits of color management. At encompus, we manage color outcomes in film, digital RGB, 4-color process (CMYK), Pantone Matching Systems, pigment and paint, to name a few. We are Apple Certified Color Management Trainers and Certified X-Rite Color Experts.

It goes without saying that we ourselves are completely color managed. Our displays are calibrated to the latest standards ensuring that skin tones are accurate and that Pantone colors match. Our Adobe color settings are managed to maintain color integrity, efficient color communication and workflow. With encompus, there are no surprises because we communicate with our clients throughout the production process.

All this talk about color making your head spin? Not to worry. Color terminology can be confusing if it isn’t properly explained, but it needn’t be. Part of our job is educating your staff about how to make the most of your color settings and workflow to increase internal productivity. And who couldn’t use more of that?

On-Site Color Management Consulting and Integration:

Let us come to you. We will educate and train your staff on how to get the best color in your workflow. If your goal is to become self-sufficient, we can teach you how to perform all the calibrations and profiling yourself.

Remote Color Management Consulting via Acrobat Connect:
We offer remote consulting services through Acrobat Connect. Acrobat Connect is a web-based online training tool that allows us to see your computer screen so that we can effectively coach your staff on how to manage color settings and workflow in Photoshop, In-Design, Illustrator, Acrobat Professional, and many other Adobe applications.

Our training certifications extend to color management software like X-Rite ProfileMaker and i1 Match. We also offer expert RIP training for EFI Designer Edition, ColorProof XF, and Onyx ProductionHouse and Postershop. We can perform a quick half hour session on soft-proofing or a full three hour total training in the products we support.
