The Flint Group, a global name in inks and coatings for packaging, has announced the launch of VIVO ColourMatch – a new software tool that completes its VIVO Colour Solutions platform.
VIVO ColourMatch is a newly developed, bespoke online color matching workflow designed to help printers streamline processes, reduce setup time, and simplify color consistency across jobs and sites. As the latest module within the VIVO Color Solutions ecosystem, VIVO ColourMatch expands the platform’s capabilities to offer a complete end-to-end color management solution.
At the core of VIVO ColourMatch is a template-based platform that allows printers to define and save specific color profiles tailored to different ink series and applications. This eliminates the need to re-enter parameters for repeat jobs and ensures that formulations are readily accessible across customer locations.
A standout feature of the software is its built-in press return utilization module, which automatically identifies available in-stock press return inks and defines how they can be reused to meet target color specifications. This innovation enhances ink stock rotation, reduces waste, and supports more sustainable print operations.
Shaun du-Randt, Global Services director at Flint Group, said, “VIVO ColourMatch is a fully integrated digital color matching tool within our VIVO Colour Solutions family. It helps printers quickly and accurately match brand shades, while the built-in press return functionality offers added value by simplifying ink reuse. Ultimately, this innovation supports smarter workflows, improves operational efficiency, and helps printers reduce the cost of their ink inventories.”
VIVO ColourMatch will be available to all Flint Group customers starting 25 September, 2025.
Customers can contact their Flint Group representative to discuss adding VIVO ColourMatch to their digital color management process.
