L\u00dcDENSCHEID | Germany- October 2026 –<\/strong> MIDINK, a new software tool, is taking an unusual approach to color correction in digital printing. It uses a smartphone camera, but it does not try to turn the phone into a color measuring instrument.<\/p>\n

\"\" Instead, MIDINK compares a printed test chart with a physical color reference that contains known LAB values. The two are photographed together, so the reference colors and the printed colors are captured under the same conditions.<\/p>\n

How the MIDgrid Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The software analyzes the difference between the known reference colors and the matching printed colors. From these deviations it creates a correction grid, called a MIDgrid, which counteracts the color errors produced by the complete print workflow.<\/p>\n

The MIDgrid is applied to image files before they are sent to the RIP. The printer, ink, media and ICC workflow stay the same. The image itself is pre-corrected to compensate for the measured output error.<\/p>\n

A Complement, Not a Replacement<\/strong><\/p>\n

MIDINK is not intended to replace a spectrophotometer or professional ICC profiling. It has a different purpose: to give print users a fast, easy way to identify and compensate for visible color deviations within an existing production workflow.<\/p>\n

According to developer Mike Heuschkel, creating a MIDgrid typically takes a few minutes. As long as print conditions stay the same, the same correction grid can be reused for other image files.<\/p>\n

Built for Multiple Print Technologies<\/strong><\/p>\n

MIDINK is not tied to one printing technology. It is designed for DTF, DTG, UV, toner and other digital print processes.<\/p>\n

MIDINK is currently available for testing, so users can evaluate the method on their own print system before paying for more correction grids.<\/p>\n
