Less ink,
same image.
Where cyan, magenta, and yellow overlap to make gray, black does the same job — cheaper, more stable, drier. This is the principle of GCR substitution, applied automatically to every image without DTP intervention.

01 — Why it works
Three wins, not one.
01
The ingredient cost
Color ink is significantly more expensive than black ink. Every point of substitution shows up directly on the bill, and the calculation is redone with each price increase.
02
Press stability
Less ink deposited means less smudging, faster drying, less drift throughout the print run, and less waste during setup.
03
The environmental argument
Less volume consumed, fewer solvents, less waste. A figure that has its place in a CSR report, verifiable and dated.
The first implementation of OnColor ECO in France dates back to 2025. A typical installation requires two days for the standard setup, plus three days of profiling tailored to your paper and inks.
02 — Products
On-site or in use.
OnColor ECO
The replacement applied in your feed, on your servers. Adjustable by title and by insert: a magazine supplement and a classified ads section do not have the same quality/cost trade-off.
— Lite and ECO ColorManager versions
Eco SaaS
The same processing as a hosted service, billed per processed file. No server to install, no long-term commitment: you can test it for a few weeks before deciding to bring it in-house.
— The fastest way to lock in profits
Arkitex Enhance OptiInk
The ECO3-side response, integrated into the Arkitex workflow. The same reduction logic, with threshold control by job type. InkTune covers the same need on the commercial printing side.

Profit is measured, not promised.
The savings rate depends on your pagination, your color share, and your paper. The only honest way to advertise it is to analyze it on your own files. Let's talk about it.
