Apply these tools in device optimization and process control for repeatable color in a print production processes. Integrate diverse imaging components, from capturing to display to output, as a system for predictable color in color-managed environments. 4.0 Course description 2081-577 Printing Process Control Test targets and color measurement technology are tools used in optimizing and calibrating various components in a color reproduction system. This course will integrate many technical disciplines, e.g., metrology, statistics, process control, to make a color imaging system repeatable and predictable. Emphases will be placed on selecting test targets, color measurement, and data analysis tools for evaluation of device-level and system-level performance.
