StealthColor speeds up color management with Hybrid Software Helix using 40,000 data points

StealthColor, a color software provider, faced the challenge of transitioning its Color Beyond Human software from using slow TIFF files to PDF to enhance customer productivity without negatively impacting its RIP performance. They needed a reliable and fast PDF library to integrate into their ground-breaking color management solution for digital printing. The vendor, Hybrid Software Helix, provided its Mako Core SDK to address this need.

By implementing Hybrid Software Helix's Mako Core, StealthColor's developers were able to effortlessly integrate PDF functionality, solve specific issues like retaining vector dielines, and reconstruct PDF pages with color-corrected raster content. The solution resulted in enhanced performance, making the software even faster and better, which led to great feedback from their customers.
