Wednesday 05. September 2012 - PSD Fogra certification - ColorGATE employees successfully

In July 2012, ColorGATE employees André Fontana, Carsten Ritter, Claudius Müller, Gerrit Andre, Janis Katomeris and Matthias Schönig successfully completed the internationally recognized certification DPE, Digital Print Expert of Fogra Forschungsgesellschaft Druck e.V. (Graphic Technology Research Association). After three days of intensive training by Andreas Kraushaar, head of prepress technology at Fogra, and a comprehensive practical and written exam ColorGATE now belongs to the first companies specially certified with the focus on large and wide format printing (LFP). Therefore ColorGATE is now authorized to conduct PSD audits with customers.
Through intensive consulting, trainings and introductions to the PSD compliant production process, ColorGATE will prepare customers in an optimum way for the PSD-certification to be ideally conditioned for the PSD audit afterwards. PSD-certified companies document their competence in color management, quality control and workflow management. Furthermore a consequent implementation of the PSD reduces wastage and saves precious time through a consistent workflow. Hence the PSD increases competitiveness and improves internal processes.
