Digital Print CIC

DuPont operates in 70 countries offering a wide range of innovative products. These include colour proofing systems which comprise of an imaging unit and the consumables that go with it: ink, paper and software. Focusing on its future performance in this market, the company has formed a strategic alliance with the Digital Print CIC.

The move has two major roles, the first being to use Digital Print CIC's expertise to influence future systems. The company hopes to meet and exceed client demands. It expects to increase satisfaction amongst existing customers and increase sales to new ones.

The second aim for the strategic alliance is to address DuPont customer's expectations when using colour proofing equipment. DuPont are working in collaboration with the CIC to deliver Europe's first colour management courses for printers, and has donated colour proofing equipment and consumables to use throughout the courses.

Accurate images and consistent colour are prerequisites of proofing and clients are, quite rightly, very demanding when it comes to performance. If things go awry, more often than not, process control is the culprit.

People coming through the Digital Print CIC Colour Masters courses will be trained on DuPont systems, become familiar with their operation, view them as the industry's standard and know how to get the best from them. This should in turn, create demand for the products in the industry.

As the collaboration grows, further projects are anticipated across DuPont's other business groups, including textiles, paints and flexography printing plates, at the CIC and the DuPont R&D Centre in Wilmington, USA.
