Benefits of ColorGrip
ColorGrip is an inline paper conditioning process during printing. ColorGrip liquid drops are
applied on the location of the bitmap. The table below shows how ColorGrip improves the print
quality of uncoated media, inkjet treated media and coated media.
The use of ColorGrip results in crisp text and graphics achieving a high level of detail. The
benefits of ColorGrip are very obvious on uncoated and inkjet treated media. However, ColorGrip
can also improve the print quality on coated media.
Benefits of ColorGrip Print without and with ColorGrip
On uncoated media

which means that paper fibers
absorb and spread the ink
pigments.
ColorGrip improves the col-
our gamut of the print.
On inkjet treated media
ColorGrip prevents mottle
and so improves the micro
uniformity of the print.
On offset coated and inkjet coated media
ColorGrip prevents coales-
cence and so improves the
macro uniformity of the print.

bleed.
