CATZper Named SGIA Product of the Year

SHAWNEE, KS — At the 2009 expo in New Orleans, Louisiana, October 7-9, the Specialty Graphics and Imaging Association (SGIA) awarded Nazdar Consulting Service’s color matching software, CATZper®, the Product of the Year in the category of Digital Workflow. To earn this prestigious honor, SGIA member companies submit recently developed products and printing equipment for judging on-site at the annual expo.

“We are pleased to be recognized by our peers, the panel of judges of SGIA,” said Chris Davis, Vice President and General Manager of Nazdar Consulting Services (NCS). “Equally rewarding has been the way our customers appreciate the accurate color matches they can produce with CATZper in less time than previously thought possible.” The software is completely accurate regardless of RIP, substrate or print configuration because the adjustment is made from the final output and not on theoretical media configurations that are standard on many RIPs.

CATZper software is comprised of three primary dynamic features : a color match grid to generate and illustrate incremental color variations; Color Tolerancing, a tool used to communicate with clients about acceptable color deviation based on visual acceptance rather than delta E; and Image Shift, which quickly adjusts color photographs in L*a*b* color space.

CATZper color matching software is available exclusively through authorized Nazdar distributors and Nazdar Consulting Services. A fully functional trial version is available at www.nazdarconsulting.com
