Esko Color Engine is the only prepress production environment that connects to the revolutionary PantoneLIVE workflow. Accurate brand color standards are defined in the PantoneLIVE cloud, based on real print on real substrate. These colors are then shared at all parts of the packaging supply chain, making possible a truly integrated color workflow from design through to print.
Everyone needs access to the same color information. PantoneLIVE creates an environment of color predictability, so color critical decisions can be made upfront and consistently produced color can be delivered to the shelf.
