What does your colour correction service include?
Short
We will make ensure your image is print ready to our specifications, or apply colour adjustments to your image based on your brief when ordering.
Long
This is where Atkins really excels. Digital cameras and scanners do not know what good colour is! Only humans can judge this. Most digital labs simply run-out your files as they are presented, but we offer a second level of service where our skilled operators optimise your file for printing.
With operators having thirty plus years of experience in assessing colour, we will always get the best from your digital files. We offer several levels of colour correction, first proof quality (colour correct proof service), where twenty or more images are ‘tuned up’ to a professional proof standard, secondly we offer print colour correction, where each image is carefully adjusted to get the best from the file. Beyond colour correction, we offer a full range of retouching services.
Atkins' colour correction specialists have a wealth of experience, the average is over twenty years in this role. But it is more than experience, it is a combination of the best equipment for the job, regularly profiled EIZO Colour Edge displays, and continual testing.
The testing is our secret sauce. Because our people get to see their work printed immediately, they get feedback immediately, and often they have to retest or reprint. No other colour correction service is so well tuned, so many just deliver the digital files. Print is still our Everest, and we reach the summit every day.
