Synopsis
Color is at the heart of modern printing, yet many of the systems used to measure and control it remain poorly explained. Color Theory for Printing provides a clear and practical introduction to the science behind color measurement and communication.
This book builds color understanding step by step, beginning with light and human vision and moving through the tools used every day in print production. It explains how spectral reflectance, viewing conditions, illuminants, measurement geometry, and color spaces work together to describe color in measurable terms.
Rather than presenting formulas without context, the book focuses on how color data is created, what the numbers actually represent, and how they should be interpreted on press. The result is a practical framework for understanding color measurements and making more informed production decisions.
What you will learn:
- How light, materials, and human vision combine to produce color
- Why viewing conditions and illuminants matter
- How spectrophotometers measure color
- What L*a*b* and L*C*h° values really describe
- How color difference metrics such as ΔE are used in print production

About the Author
Bob Binder is a retired printing and color-management professional who now works as an independent consultant through RGBinder, LLC.Bob began his career in 1978 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, working as a film stripper at Acraforms while earning a degree in Printing Management from Western Michigan University. After graduation, he moved to Evansville, Indiana, where he served as Prepress Manager at Koch Label Company in a gravure label production environment. He later relocated to Carol Stream, Illinois, and spent ten years as Prepress Manager at Jefferson-Smurfit Corporation, a folding-carton facility operating gravure and offset presses.These roles provided hands-on experience in prepress, pressroom production, and cross-process color control.Bob later returned to Grand Rapids and spent 26 years in customer-facing technical and support roles, most recently as a Solution Architect at X-Rite. His work expanded into color theory, color measurement, instrument geometry, standards development, workflow integration, and deployment of color-control systems across printing environments. He has contributed technical articles to The Big Picture and Flexo Magazine.Throughout his career, Bob has worked closely with press operators, quality managers, and production teams. That exposure shaped his practical approach to color science: measurement must connect to vision; theory must connect to application; and standards must be understood before they are trusted.This book reflects that philosophy, building color understanding from fundamentals-light, spectra, human vision, measurement assumptions, and translation models-so readers can interpret numbers accurately and apply them with confidence.
