In the printing process, color proofing is done for the purpose of checking the color to ensure that it is as desired, before proceeding to the plate-making process. Proofing with digital printers has grown remarkably, because of its advantages of high speed, wide color gamut, and affordable prices for a device. The accuracy of proof-press color matching is affected by the printer, software and substrate involved in digital proofing processes. Therefore, the combination of the right equipment, software and print media is the key to obtaining good proof-press color matching. The main purpose of this experimental study is to examine the color matching capability of digital printers. The color matching capability was evaluated in terms of color difference and process consistency.
