Congratulations to GASAA member Jason Hall, CMYkit who has just become the first Australian consultant to achieved UGRA Expert Certification. UGRA Certification allows Jason Hall and CMYKit to consult to printing companies to introduce standardised printing and prepare them for the PSO audit. This preparation includes SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) for PDF & native files, hard & soft proofing, viewing conditions, plate line & press setup.

CMYKit product offerings from ALWAN allow standardised data into the print workflow.  “We recommend the use of CMYK Optimizer, because it addresses a real need for standardisation of file separations. For us, it’s the perfect complement to our standardisation services and ISO 12647 certification.  You cannot have standardised printing without standardised data.”  Erwin Widmer – Managing Director, UGRA

CMYKit’s pressSIGN and proofSIGN products make for easy certification of print and proofs back to the ISO standard.  pressSIGN allows standardised printing with 5 steps to ISO standards achievable within 2-3 days, not 2-3 weeks. Jason Hall’s UGRA certification confirms CMYKit’s ability to bring the best in the market to the Australian market.
