DES gets ready for biggest show yet at PacPrint 2009
Proofing and colour management specialists DES are pleased to unveil their biggest show yet at PacPrint 2009.
Ian Clare, Managing Director said: “PacPrint 2009 will be an exciting time for us; DES is pioneering some great new technology. We are keen to show the depth of what we are offering, it’s not just about the great range of products, we have the technical sales and support staff, the training and the knowledge that the industry needs.”
Proofing
CGS will be demonstrating Color Tuner//Web, a web based proofing approval solution combining the features of ORIS Color Tuner together with ORIS Soft Proof and ORIS Certified Proof. Offering seamless client-server architecture and full flexibility of a web environment, Color Tuner//Web enables real time viewing and certification of contract proof quality images worldwide.
Alongside their proofing system, CGS will show InkSaver for automatic, colour managed ink and toner reduction. In a one-step, automatic process, ORIS Ink Saver significantly reduces the CMY components for all printed elements, and optimizes the black separation – while maintaining visual and colorimetric integrity.
EFI will demonstrate Colourproof XF Version 4, a professional-level RIP with real time remote proofing using the new web control centre. Colorproof XF enables you to manage colour in a new dimension using dynamic wedge technology and providing you with all the tools to produce accurate colour and to master any proofing or printing task.
The unique JUST Virtual Proof viewing booth is the new pressroom solution for remote and soft proofing, designed to reduce time and costs. With adjustment of the brightness level to the colour monitor setting a key component for accuracy in a soft proofing workflow, JUST have now automated this adjustment controlled by a digital dimmer and a USB connection to the soft proofing monitor. The JUST Virtual Proof automatically adjusts to the brightness level of a specific colour monitor via software and measuring devices objectively.
Furthermore these solutions have been linked to the monitor solutions of Eizo and other brands so that their already integrated software can be used to control the JUST light booths.
Also, on the DES stand Eizo will be showing a sneak preview of our new 24" widescreen "FOGRA" monitor - fresh out of Japan this will be the first time the screen has been shown anywhere. Eizo and DES are keen to show the Australian printing industry the direction Eizo technology is taking - particularly now that soft proofing has become a leading trend worldwide.
