Color control problem
Color drift becomes expensive when repeat jobs depend on operator memory instead of controlled profiles, material modes, calibration and QC evidence.
Color drift turns repeat production into manual guessing.
When the same file prints differently across days, shifts or materials, the issue is usually a chain: machine state, RIP mode, ICC profile, material behavior and acceptance evidence.
Not always. Profiles only work when machine state, material mode and operator routine are controlled.
Yes, when color control is tied to QC evidence and repeat-job rules.
