Flagship Metric

E-Factor — the single number that decides if a print is salable.

E-Factor is ChromaChecker's proprietary quality metric. It evaluates color accuracy across an entire press sheet or job, not just individual patches. Using the 95th percentile of all ΔE 00 values, it gives a single number that answers one question: is this print salable?

1.9 Salable

5.6 Waste

E-Factor ≤ threshold → Salable Color accuracy meets the defined standard — job can ship

E-Factor > threshold → Waste Color deviation exceeds tolerance — job must be reprinted or rejected

Case study · $1M customer loss

Two presses passed. The customer still rejected the job.

Both plants were G7-compliant. Both systems showed green. E-Factor explained the rejection in 15 minutes — because it measures what the buyer actually sees.
