The Graphic Arts Services Association of Australia (GASAA) has appointed CMYKit Pty Ltd (CMYKit) as aPremier Approved Colour Consultancy (PACC), as the industry association continues to established highly successful and strategic arrangements with preferred suppliers across a range of business and technical areas.

In December last year Melbourne digital print company On Demand received PSO certification to the ISO 12647-2 printing standard. Shane Lucas, Director HP Graphic Arts South Pacific says On Demand’s PSO certification is a landmark achievement for digital printing in general and for HP Indigo specifically.

On Demand’s achievement demonstrates that digital printing can achieve the same colour quality as analogue printing. In the past colour matching was the perceived division between digital and analogue printing and now that line is clearly blurred. The myth that digital print cannot meet the colour standards of analogue is clearly dispelled by On Demand’s certification.
