Tsutomu Kojima was born in 1968. In 1987, he began doing retouching work using a Scitex Prepress Workstation at Toppan Process Co., Ltd. Since 2000, he has been working as a printing director for art print production (“Primagraphie”) using inkjet printing.
He is engaged in printing for a variety of genres such as illustration, photography, and cultural assets. He has an established reputation in the photography industry and is often hand-selected by photographers for his high quality work. He has a deep understanding of paper and color management and is also active in sharing that knowledge and his passion for creation through various seminars and workshops.
Tsutomu Kojima’s first ColorEdge was a CG21 in 2004. Until then, it was common knowledge that the color on a monitor could not be trusted, but with ColorEdge and advancements in color management technology, Kojima can now focus on his work until he is satisfied. Currently he is using a ColorEdge CG318-4K along with his MacBook Pro 15”, Late 2016. ColorEdge supports his creativity and is a reliable partner in his workflow.
