D-Tone 5040K is a revolutionary system for quality assurance and configuring commercial printing environments for consistent results throughout production process.

Ever since the printing press was invented centuries ago, commercial printers have strived to achieve the perfect reproduction of colour. But despite years of innovation and advancement, combined with the digitalization of information and the printing process, achieving the perfect reproduction, consistently across different production processes, remains a major challenge for commercial printers across the world.

That changes with the introduction of the D-Tone 5040K system. With this patent-pending precision colour monitoring system for commercial printing and production environments, any industry standard printing press can achieve near perfect colour tones, consistently, and regardless of the many variables found in today's print production process, including paper, ink, dot size, and other environmental variables.

What D-Tone 5040K enables is near-perfect colour for all commercial printing environments by eliminating virtually all variables that may impact the final output. It helps print technicians to identify instantly, without any special equipment, any colour imbalance at the beginning of a print run, dramatically reducing the initial colour balance assessment time between the "print" verses "proof" outputs. More importantly, the innovative system behind D-Tone 5040K also simplifies the colour balance assessment process traditionally executed by the colour bar, which is not discernable with the human eye because all the colour patches are individually placed on the same bar and need to be analyzed carefully before any correction can be carried out.

Additional benefits of the D-Tone 5040K system include reduced wastage and more consistent results across multiple printers.

What D-Tone 5040K does is set a standard for achieving the perfect neutral tone for any standard four-colour printing press. Without the D-Tone 5040K system, colour assessment is left to human judgment, on the experience and skill of the printing technician, a process that is often time consuming, prone to a multitude of different variables, and nearly impossible to repeat for different editions or printing environments.
