Pantone Office For Kyocera Gives Expert Colour For Business Professionals

Typically, users blame the printer when the printed colour is not what they see on their screen. Pantone Office overcomes this problem and guarantees the best possible colour when printing with Kyocera devices.

Bernhard Koll, Product Manager at Kyocera Documents Solutions Europe commented, "Pantone Colour referencing is known worldwide as the standard language for accurate colour communication, but Microsoft Office does not support Pantone colours, which makes it difficult to duplicate colours easily from the RGB system used in MS Word and PowerPoint. Pantone Office for Kyocera offers businesses access to the expert colour system that graphic professionals rely on. Now, all users have an easy way to select, communicate and accurately reproduce corporate logos or company colours out of Microsoft Office applications”. A company’s identity is often tied to the brand colour and getting it wrong dilutes impact. Correctly printing the colour of the logo is key to maintaining consistent messaging across all internal and external customer touch points. We can now confidently offer a colour management workflow that ensures colour integrity every time."

Pantone is the industry leading standardised colour reproduction system and offers a comprehensive palette of spot colours. Transferring colours from RGB used on screens to the Pantone colour palette often leads to misrepresentation of the intended colour, making it difficult for users to design and print in accurate Pantone colours from their local device. Kyocera’s add in, Pantone Office, provides an additional user interface for MS Word and PowerPoint enabling users to select Pantone colours directly by name or number and makes guessing the RGB values for a particular Pantone colour unnecessary.

As an additional benefit, costs are reduced for dealers who have fewer end-user support requests due to unmatched colours, and for users because expensive colour management software is not required.

Kyocera Pantone Office will be offered from July 2015 under license, with options available for both A3 and A4 devices.
