Sad news today, John Sweeney died on Monday 14th July 2025 - John was a fundamental influence for me and many others in the world of print standards and color control. He was a regular attendee of the Digital Ad Lab (an agency group for standards in advertising that I chaired for many years) We travelled the world together educating craftsman printers on the technology of in line colour densitometry and spectrometry and colour management. Usually found at the Irish Bar during Drupa, we also regularly met during the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix at his home. He was a very good friend and my thoughts are with his family and friends. He will be very much missed - RIP Sweeney
