To control the quality of the printing and packaging that accompanies its musical instrument accessories, D'Addario relies on its in-plant.

Digital Information's InkZone product line delivers state-of-the-art ink key presetting technology for offset presses via network, as well as closed-loop color solutions for digital ink control on offset presses from all leading manufacturers. Featuring the ability to monitor trends and track job history, utilization of a rollback feature to revert ink key positioning, and the creation of ink key preset linearization curves based on measurement data, InkZone enables the D'Addario in-plant to realize substantially shorter makeready times on its Heidelberg SM74, as well as significantly reduced paper waste and increased productivity. With the BestMatch feature, D'Addario is now able to print according to ISO standards and to drive spot colors into LAB targets. With InkZone, D'Addario is a more consistent and productive operation.
