Serendipity Software Unveils RGB+Spot Colour Support: Redefining Colour Precision for Designers and Printers

Tuesday 05. November 2024 - This cutting-edge feature 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.

Serendipity Software is thrilled to introduce the latest innovation in colour management: RGB + Spot Colour Support, now available in Version 9.1 of Blackmagic and Veripress.
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 through to submission in our 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. Importantly, this 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 even more flexibility to print professionals.
This feature opens up new creative possibilities, delivering superior image quality and unmatched brand colour fidelity—perfect for those looking to take their designs to the next level.
Key Benefits
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.
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. These combined benefits provide a competitive edge, allowing users to achieve superior results with both speed and quality.
Who Will Benefit from RGB+Spot Colour Support?
Graphic designers and advertisers will find this feature particularly useful for producing vibrant posters, flyers, and marketing materials requiring accurate brand colour representation. Textile and apparel designers will appreciate its ability to handle colourful, intricate designs on fabrics with ease, while corporate branding teams can ensure consistent brand colours across all promotional materials.
Label printers and those in the packaging industry using inkjet printers will benefit from precise spot colour handling and the vibrant colour gamut of RGB files, enabling them to deliver detailed, high-quality prints on a variety of materials. Commercial and specialty printers offering digital printing services can also leverage this technology to deliver high-quality results with consistent, vibrant outcomes, particularly in small to medium print runs.
RGB+Spot Colour Support equips users with powerful tools to manage complex colour projects efficiently, without sacrificing quality. From digital proofing to final print, this innovative feature unlocks new levels of control and creative freedom for designers and print professionals.
Whether working with intricate brand colours or high-impact visuals, RGB+Spot Colour Support ensures that your designs remain vibrant, accurate, and true to your vision at every stage of the process.
