CXF TOOLBOX & COLOR CLOUD

Organize & communicate brand colors with all spectral properties – easily & effectively

Communicating colors simply but precisely is becoming more and more important in our globalized world. Especially brand owners do not want to compromise when it comes to color reproduction. Why should they?

EDP Logo 2021From initial design to the digitally or conventionally printed product, color communication always needs to be reliable, effective, and easy. The ability to organize brand color information with all of its print-related properties is the essential basis for that.

CxF is the key. With this format, it is not only possible to transport all characteristics of brand and spot colors.

Since it is an open standard, CxF can also be used immediately by anyone involved in the production process. This makes CxF data the ideal basis for an uncomplicated management and exchange of spectral color data – locally or in the cloud.

With CXF TOOLS you can quickly generate, manage, and analyze CxF data. Even existing libraries can be corrected easily.

Comprehensive digitalization of color optimizes the coordination and production processes and makes them much faster and less expensive. This ensures that media designers have exact specifications at hand and use the correct color at any time. CxF also assures correct ink formulation by the ink manufacturer. By embedding CxF data in the artwork file, you can be sure that it always contains the latest color information relevant to the printing company.

The result is consistent color reproduction in every print run and perfect brand colors worldwide!
