Media Certification Program for HP Latex inks
Make your life easier
Finding the optimal settings is a tedious process that can lead to a lot of trial and error, which many of you experience. This often results in high and unnecessary costs. Color Concepts has therefore teamed up with HP and developed a certification program for the HP Latex printers. This program will ensure that your material is printed with the perfect settings to provide the best quality and gets the attention it deserves. Moreover, the program creates unbiased evidence that your material performs according to the highest standards.
ROLL TO ROLL
Materials such as textiles, wall covering, adhesive foils, and banners.
RIGID
Materials such as foam boards, solid plastics, and PVC foam.

Create opportunities for your business
Create a benchmark
By creating the correct settings, testing your products to the highest standards and distributing that information through easy-accessible resources, we also create a reference for the ‘new normal’ in your product’s performance. A reference that can be used by your support-, sales- and marketing teams. Knowing what is normal, changes the way your teams will support, sell and market your materials.
Help yourself and your customer by eliminating trial and error processes
Finding the correct settings for printer materials is not only time consuming, difficult and expensive, it also decreases your customers productivity and the overall solution you are able to provide your customers. Improving your bottom line and brand image.

A little glimpse into the program
Providing the correct printing parameters to your customers can be a tough challenge. Guaranteeing the outcome and application feasibility of a material after printing, is an even tougher problem to solve.
HP and Color Concepts have developed a convenient way of testing your materials after printing with HP Latex inks, while collecting all necessary printing parameters for your customers to use.
Programs for roll to roll and rigid materials
We have designed two programs, for both rigid and flexible materials. Each program is focussing on the quality requirements each specific application has. Each application is tested in a slightly different way, to make sure we simulate the real use of your materials as close as possible.
