Hi i've worked in the print industry for 25 years, in different roles from magazines, newspapers and also in Packaging design and I have prepress experience having actually worked in a Packaging printing factory. There I used tools such as Xrite for measuring colour accuracy and can therefore also colour correct to ensure that designs get printed as on screen.
