PaC.Space is the first uniform colour standard and proof standard for packaging gravure printing on coated substrates and films. Proofs in the PaC.Space colour space can now be ordered conveniently at shop.proof.de.
Up to now, there have been no colour standards in packaging gravure printing, as it is much more complex than magazine gravure printing, for example, and much larger colour spaces can be achieved in packaging printing. So far, the ISOCoatedV2 color space has often been used, but it contains considerably fewer colors than PaC.Space. Or in-house standards of the packaging printers were used, but they still had to be revised for the final print before the printing process.
With PaC.Space there is now a color space suitable for many packaging gravure prints, with which a proof can be created very early in the design process, which comes very close to the later production result. The data can and should be processed directly in PaC.space, which helps to reduce costs and time.
The idea of a uniform color space is the result of a project of the Pro Gravure Working Group of the European Rotogravure Association (ERA) under the leadership of GMG and Europe’s largest cylinder house Janoschka. At Proof.de PaC.Space Proofs are created according to the following conditions:

PaC.Space is the first uniform color standard for packaging gravure printing that enables an interface from supplied prepress data to process- or print-specific adjustments.
