Phoenix-based wide format printer maker Mutoh America, Inc. proudly announces its membership into the IDEAlliance, an association dedicated to establishing best practices for efficient end-to-end digital media workflows. IDEAlliance has recently turned its attention to the wide and grand-format digital printing world and is building the set of standards and guidelines for color management and process control. As an active member, Mutoh representatives will have a role in updating and determining standards, educational materials, certification programs and attending IDEAlliance conferences.

"Our goal as an IDEAlliance member is to help educate our industry on the need for color management and process control to be tightly integrated into the production workflow," says Chris Brown, Engineering Manager for Mutoh. "We're excited to move forward with this initiative to streamline industry processes."

Mutoh’s Smart Printing system features ColorVerify and ColorVerify Pro process control systems, and the SpectroVue VM-10 on-board spectrophotometer, make Mutoh a perfect fit for building the wide and grand-format portfolio with IDEAlliance.
