No Need for Color Corrections
PRINTFACTORY WORKFLOW SOFTWARE
Constantly retouching jobs was eating into our profits. But with PrintFactory, there’s no need for color corrections…
“My color experts were great, but they were always spending time retouching jobs. It doesn’t matter how good you are as a color expert, all of that color correction work uses ink and wastes media. They were keen to get the best results for our customers, but even those extra minutes in front of a monitor were costing us money. That’s why I chose PrintFactory…”
PRINTFACTORY | WIDE FORMAT WORKFLOW SOFTWARE
We’re always chasing color in this business. Multiple RIPs don’t make life easier. Then there are substrates to think about, plus variations in temperature, humidity, ink, and wear-and-tear…
Even if you could tackle all of those problems one by one, ICC color engines don’t always deliver a ‘closed loop’ of color outputs on different printers. Usually, you’ll use canned profiles supplied by the printer’s manufacturer or the media supplier. Or, if you know how, you’ll be making new profiles – taking 45 minutes or more. Either way, more test prints and more retouching means you’re wasting ink and media. Idle machines cost money and it all starts to add up. PrintFactory is the answer.
PrintFactory’s Calibrator creates new profiles in just 3 clicks.
You start saving time and money instantly.
Our RIP comes with a Calibrator that’s so simple to use, anyone can make profiles accurate to Delta-E tolerances most printers only dream about. PrintFactory’s Calibrator includes a 3-click wizard profiling system that saves time, saves ink, reduces the amount of media you’re putting in the bin – it saves money, without making compromises on color quality. Here’s how it works…
LET’S GET TECHNICAL
Device-link profiling is the key. Device-link profiles transform color from one color space to another automatically, with no manual intervention. We’ve built our workflow software to include 3-click wizards, which make it easy to create those profiles in minutes:
- the profiles can be locked (so there’s no ‘tinkering’ by the more enthusiastic members of your team);
- those profiles appear instantly, there’s no need to relink or reconfigure your printers because the profiles are all centrally managed and shared; and,
- those profiles will use between 15-20% less ink – with no degradation in quality – which is the icing on the cake.
What’s more, with the Calibrator running, you can be matching the calibration on different printers in around 10 to 20 mins. Our Delta-e tolerances are proofing quality from the outset – coming in at 2, or less.
This means you can load-balance with ease, putting confidence back into your business wherever your printers are located (locally or remotely). You can do repeat jobs with 100% confidence in the colour too; saving files as a template to use a few weeks or even months later.
GET PERFECT COLOUR, WITH LOWER COSTS
Other software makes a similar claim. “Calibration and processes that save up to 30% less ink…” – but we believe the key to a real competitive advantage is cutting costs without compromising on quality.
Our 3-click wizard makes profiles that give you the ink savings you need. But they also print perfect clean greys, subtle colours, and crisp Pantone® spot colours… which is what your customers want.
