La Commerciale – Case History

La Commerciale is a graphic industry that is a benchmark in the sector since more that seventy years, that combines speed and volumes of industrial capacity with the artisan attention through materials research, the reliability  of checks and inspections, and quality manufacture. An industry with a tradition handed down through four generations, La Commerciale is specialized in printing labels, fine packaging, cases and high quality brochures.

The attention for details is a primary goal for La Commerciale but this needs a continuous improvement of its standard. This is one the reasons why La Commerciale relies on ColorConsulting for strategic support in updating their systems and equipment to obtain the best quality possible.

Over time, the instruments have played an increasingly important role in the color management’s workflow, spectrophotometers by the highest performances can detect any variation between test printing and the finished product, ad hoc lights help avoid errors of judgment, but what mostly influences the results is the workflow.

La Commerciale wanted to share the recipes created in the color kitchen with InkFormulation with all of the printing workstations, in a simple and precise way, in order to allow the operators to weigh independently their recipes; for this reason introduced InkWeigh, the innovative solution developed by ColorConsulting and distributed by QuadTech worldwide.

Thanks to InkWeigh with few operations it is possible to weigh any color recipe quickly and precisely starting from the database of recipes defined in the phase of the color formulation. Designed for the packaging market InkWeigh reduces the time needed to weigh, the workflow is simplified and accelerated thanks to the ink dosing operations assisted. InkWeigh, thanks to its optional modules, ensures an optimal management of leftovers and  the traceability of production’s batch.

The introduction of these solutions have immediately simplified and speeded up the production workflow, increasing the productivity of each printing machine.

Paolo Artuffo holder of La Commerciale says: “The best instruments, software and the most advanced solutions make the production more effective and accurate. That, combined with the experience, the seriousness and the passion that people put into their work give to the final product the quality to emerge. We rely on ColorConsulting for any solution linked to the world of color management because they guarantee us the same seriousness, innovation and passion that distinguishes our company”

In conclusion, the decision of updating is consistent with the vision of the company and it has been a natural process towards the achievement of quality and efficiency goals that La Commerciale aims.
