Global Print Standards.
Floor-Tested Operational
Efficiency.
Senior consultant for the print and flexible packaging industry — working with converters and brand owners across North America and Latin America to standardise colour, reduce waste, and protect capital investments.
"A single prevented makeready rerun on a wide-web flexo line saves an average of $1,500 in substrate and ink. Our structured processes prevent two per week."
Three Pressroom Challenges That Cost Converters Most.
Inconsistent Brand Colour Across Runs
Brand owners are tightening Delta-E tolerances across their converter base. Without structured press fingerprinting, substrate characterisation, and documented colour approval workflows, every rerun is a direct margin reduction — and a client retention risk.
Ink Room Variance Compounding Across Shifts
Manual viscosity adjustments, undocumented ink recipes, and informal ink transfers create deviation that compounds across multi-colour gravure and flexo lines. The cost is invisible until it appears as a quality complaint.
Capital Investments Without Independent Oversight
Equipment vendors are not neutral advisors. Mid-sized converters investing $2–5M in wide-web press lines need an independent technical governor who protects the buyer's interests — from specification writing through factory acceptance testing.
Four Structured Engagements. One Point of Contact.
Colour Management & Standardisation
G7 / ISO 12647 implementation, press fingerprinting, ICC profiling, substrate characterisation. Consistent brand colour across every run — measurable, documented, repeatable.
→ Full scopeProcess Efficiency & Ink Room
Makeready waste reduction, SOP development, KPI systems, digital ink room management. Methods proven on press floors — not developed in training rooms.
→ Full scopeCapEx & Technical Governance
Machine selection, vendor audits, factory acceptance testing, installation supervision. Neutral technical governance from specification to commissioning.
→ Full scopeTraining & Knowledge Transfer
Flexo and gravure operator training, structured SOPs, process documentation. Internal competence that remains in the plant after the engagement ends.

must work on two levels:
practical on the press floor,
and defensible in the
boardroom."
Most consultants specialise in either flexo or gravure. Working both technologies — for over 25 years, across global FMCG brands and mid-sized converters — means every engagement draws on the full production reality.
