CMYKNOBS

We’re fed up of people banging on about ‘tirelessly perfecting colour solutions’ and ‘revolutionising color management’. 

One way or another, we’ve been in the colour management and proofing game since 1991. Tried it, supplied it. The only thing we’re interested in now is helping the highest-end printers to save money and SERIOUSLY up their colour game. That’s it. No BS.

As CMYKNOBS, we offer one range of colour management software that knocks the spots off the competition; one RIP; a proofing-paper combo to keep your accountant happy, and support – real support – to help you cut costs on colour without cutting corners. 

COLOUR MANAGEMENT

Our colour management software is CGS. And yes, the CGS team is German. Like us, they believe open software is better than a closed system, plus – even though monthly payments sound juicy to start with – there’s a downside to being tied in, anywhere.

If you’re as nerdy as we are about the technical side of things, fine. All the blurb is hosted below. Have fun.

If you want the headlines – happy days. It’s really bloody simple. 

SUPPORT

We don’t joke around. The highest-end colour management will ALWAYS need support – that’s the nature of the game – but some of the service promoted elsewhere is laughable.

We’re not into world-domination. We’re a small outfit. And we’re staying small – only working with high-end print – so we can be sure you’ll always get the support you need, no matter what.

PROOFING PAPER

Come on, proofing paper is a race to the bottom. On the next page, you’ll see our list price. You don’t want our list price. You want to phone us, set up an account, and get a real deal on proofing paper. We’ll bend your ear about the colour management software bundle that gives you the BEST deal on proofing paper. You’ll like that.

We worked it out. Let’s face it, there’s no more than half a dozen things that keep you and your bank manager awake at night:

• Ink and paper cost a ruddy fortune.

• Even the ‘best’ paper prints like crap some days. 

• Your machines don’t print the same colour every time. 

• There’s no explanation why some proofs are utter cack.
• Climate change is real and so is your mid-life crisis. 
• Oh, yeah, and large-format pre-press is a real pain in the ass

The BS in NOBS stands for what you think it stands for. We don’t mess around. You want to print the same colour every time, you want proofs to match, and to make more profit too, right?

 We’ve got you.

But why ‘location data’? 

The granular, linkable nature of location data helps you solve complex challenges. It’s also the key to unlocking value, and for finding brilliant answers to all kinds of  difficult questions.
