BARBIERI electronic and Caldera on August 16th announced an exclusive calibration to RIP multi-year strategic OEM partnership. This partnership is designed to mutually benefit both companies by better serving their end-users, dealers and printer manufacturer partners. The frame of the partnership consists of delivering “state of the art” automatic color calibration solutions to wide format and grand format printing professionals.

“At the beginning of this year we started cooperation with Caldera. The exciting results of these first mutual months drove us to work more closely with Caldera and therefore we decided to enter a strategic partnership,” said Wolfgang Passler, Marketing Manager of Barbieri Electronic. “We are convinced this agreement represents a great opportunity to benefit our clients and grow our businesses in the UV and Super Wide format printing market segment,”

“Our users will benefit from the combination of Caldera and Barbieri’s leading technology and services, providing them with the most accurate and multipurpose color calibration solutions,” said Joseph Mergui, CEO and President of Caldera. “This year’s launch of the high end TotalColor automatic measuring table has been a great success. We are very pleased to be able to partner with BARBIERI electronic which has 10 years of spectral measuring technology.”

After the great success of the TotalColor including the BARBIERI Spectro LFP, Caldera will be introducing also the Spectro Swing as an OEM product in their product range. This “Caldera Swing” is an affordable, easy to use, versatile and reliable automatic calibration device built to achieve top quality prints from digital output devices. Caldera Swing is a solution for linearization and profiling of photographic and wide format output devices for flexible reflective AND transparent materials with a thickness up to 0,7mm.
