SERENDIPITY LAUNCHES RGB+SPOT

Serendipity Software has introduced its latest innovation in colour management, RGB+Spot Colour Support, now available in Version 9.1 of Blackmagic and Veripress.

This company says it empowers designers and print professionals to seamlessly proof and print TIFF, PSD, and PDF files containing RGB images with spot colours, all within a purely RGB workflow, using supported inkjet printers.

With RGB+Spot Colour Support, designers can keep their artwork in the RGB colour space, without the need to convert to CMYK. The file remains in RGB from creation to submission in the software, ensuring there is no CMYK conversion until the final printing stage.

This allows users to preserve the full colour gamut and dynamic range of RGB photographic elements, while ensuring precise spot colour handling for vibrant and consistent results.

The feature does not eliminate the need for a traditional CMYK workflow, but introduces a parallel RGB workflow that can be used in conjunction with, or alongside, an existing CMYK process, offering flexibility to print professionals.

According to Sydney-based Serendipity, the RGB+Spot Colour Support feature offers several distinct advantages, including the ability to retain the full vividness of the RGB colour spectrum for richer, more vibrant visuals. Designers can ensure brand consistency, with precise spot colour handling throughout the workflow.

It says that by eliminating the need for RGB to CMYK conversion, users benefit from faster, more efficient workflows, while also preserving design intent by maintaining “perfect” alignment between RGB and spot colours.

Applications include commercial print, label print, textile print and packaging print.

Serendipity says RGB+Spot Colour Support functionality is best suited for printers that accept RGB input, specifically those qualified as Printer’s Screening and HTM in Blackmagic.
