Analysing Colour Shift effect of various Lamination Techniques on Coated Media using Offset Printing

Colour accuracy is the inevitability in every printing industry. Even minor deviations may impact severely in terms of print quality. Offset printing is widely used printing technique and also known for high quality production and efficiency also relies on precise colour reproduction in order to meet print quality expectations as per industry standards. Lamination and other post printing operations are common for embellishment to improve visibility aspects. In contrast, lamination technique cause colour shift in terms of colorimetric attributes which alters the appearance of printed colour significantly. This research is an attempt to analyze colour shift effect due to various lamination techniques on coated media printed by using offset printing. This research will explore the relationship between colour shift and lamination techniques while offset printing.
