Do you remember my article from last fall about the redesign of the Oreo logo, which featured a 10+ dE00 difference between the old and new versions? Both being used jointly on the shelves? Ah! […]
Did I already mention that I love LinkedIn? Not just to keep in touch with people I know, but also to find and share interesting information. Plus, it’s also an excellent place for me to […]
Science evolves, based on experiences, experiments, and new insights. And that includes color science. Although the use of CIELab color description is fundamental to current color specification and reproduction, CIELab is ‘icky’, as John – […]
Recently, there was yet another discussion about DPI (dots per inch) vs PPI (pixels per inch) on LinkedIn. Which triggered David Van Driessche, who has been involved in the Ghent Workgroup in various positions since […]
Insights4print.ceo is my personal blog. But for once, I had to accept a guest article… Earlier this week, I read a newspaper article about the ‘deep research’ options that several AI tools now offer. And […]

While walking through the aisles in a supermarket recently, I noticed these nice Bahlsen packages, four different types of products/designs nicely aligned in a row. And I wondered how close the Bahlsen blue would be, […]
In the past few weeks, I’ve seen several ‘color games’ on LinkedIn. Although they are intended as a game, as fun, you might want to take a serious look at these. And dear printers, you […]
Last Saturday, I visited drupa. And on my list was, of course, getting samples from Landa. Plus, a bunch of other digital printing presses, including one of the other B1 digital printing presses: the Koenig […]
