Background

About Jan Seguda

After Jan Seguda was able to gain professional experience in several agencies, his path finally led him as a tile designer to the reputable German tile producers, Villeroy & Boch. In the "Ceramic Development Digital Printing" team, he was responsible for the conversion of Rotocolor and the production of existing digital print series. Since the beginning of digital ceramic tile decoration Jan is familiar with the subject matter. Fascinated by the back then still young printing technology and encouraged by the challenges of fluctuating production processes and changing raw materials to a consistent color reproduction, Jan adopted the possibilities of Color Management to solve problems. To adjust customized designs to true colors, ensure consistent color reproduction and thereby constantly optimize the process, quickly became a mission for him. When ZSCHIMMER & SCHWARZ, a chemical industry company, strengthened its digital printing sector in the tile sector with him, he gained interesting insights into ink development and the chemistry behind ceramic production. Another component was the "Digital Printing Assistance" division: the definition, development and expansion of quality assurance standards became part of Jan's portfolio. For numerous Color Management assistants abroad, Jan was confronted with the most diverse requirements for a suitable workflow and known as a carefully pragmatic problem solver in digital printing. From communication design to tile production to a chemical industry company - the way into software development at ColorGATE is the next logical step for Jan Seguda. During his assistants, he was constantly researching the best solution providers to define the Color Management process for customers as efficiently and accurately as possible.
