How Rutherford helps

Concrete outcomes for real offset production environments.

Rutherford supports offset teams with color management, press-side workflow, and production standardization — focused on what moves the press, not buzzwords.

Stable color across runs

Standardized calibration, ink models, and closed-loop correction that keep deliveries consistent from one job to the next.

Lower makeready waste

Fewer sheets, less ink, and shorter setup cycles thanks to predictable target-hitting and tighter press control.

Better workflow control

Clearer press-side decisions, connected measurement data, and structured hand-off between operators and management.

Production standardization

Repeatable processes across presses, shifts, and sites — so brand owners and converters can trust what ships.

The software

ColorLoop for offset printing

Built from Rutherford’s closed-loop experience, ColorLoop helps offset teams reduce setup time, improve color consistency, and connect production data more clearly across the workflow.

Faster makeready

Reach target color sooner with AI guided setup and correction workflows.

Lower waste

Reduce paper, ink, and unnecessary reruns through better setup consistency.

Better repeatability

Use stable production data to improve performance from one job to the next.

Connected visibility

Bring measurements, quality data, and production insights into one clearer operational layer.

Integrations

ColorLoop works with industry-standard tools like MeasureColor and IntelliTrax2, keeping your existing measurement and reporting investments.
