Color management module for metal can packaging

This project involves color management on metal cans packaging case study of Asian Pacific Can Co., Ltd. The objective is to study color management in metal printing by both indirect offset printing on film and direct offset printing on paper. A test form is designed and printed using an offset printer and coated with varnish controlling density to meet in-house standards. and measurements are taken for density, dot gain, color difference values, and image analysis. and create ICC profiles through Oris Flex Pack software, print onto film and paper using an inkjet printer. The quality of printing on metal sheets, film, and paper is compared. Experimental results show that printing on paper provides print quality similar to actual printing. While prints on film yield slightly different results. When comparing color difference values DeltaE ∗00 between paper prints with real printing, the color difference value DeltaE ∗00 = 0.99 comparing the printing on film with real printing, the color difference value DeltaE ∗00 = 1.13 when comparing paper prints to film prints, the color difference value is DeltaE ∗00 = 1.47 The color difference values for both film and paper prints are within standard criteria, indicating that paper can achieve printing results similar to actual prints.
