Built on core Hydra technology, a 2024 Pinnacle award winner

Lyon, France – Alwan Color Expertise will debut HydraSpot, a unique application producing spot colors at ΔE =/
HydraSpot is the third Alwan product built on the company’s Hydra Spectral Prediction technology platform. Hydra Spectral Prediction technology is Alwan’s patented approach to spectral analysis and color prediction, delivering the most accurate color with significantly reduced time and expense. Hydra is a 2024 Pinnacle Technology Award winner.

“People can spend hours trying to match spot colors on 4-color digital presses,” says Elie Khoury, founder and CEO of Alwan. “HydraSpot eliminates these long waits, and related expense, with the industry’s first solution for producing spot colors that meet brand owners’ accuracy requirements, in just a few minutes.”

Khoury emphasizes the additional benefit of producing jobs for the wide array of lighting conditions in the marketplace. “Packaging has to do its marketing job – engaging the consumer – under a range of illuminants in different environments. Whether it’s film, cardboard, plastic, textiles, or something else; HydraSpot is the first solution to let you choose the illuminant that will be used to assess or view the printed product.”

Additionally, all Hydra-based products – to date including HydraSpot®, HydraFix® and Hydra Profiling® – save up to 10% more ink than with any other ink saving technology, and without compromise to print quality and color accuracy.
