CMYK Output profiling

• Provides visual neutralisation control to compensate for the effect of optical brighteners in paper stock
• Can be used for Press profiling or CMYK inkjets
• For Press
  • Allows use of multiple charts printed over a run with option to reject deviant charts
• For inkjets
  • Ink reduction control for badly scripted inkjet papers
  • Automatic detection of chart flooding on inkjets - recommends custom chart be generated
  • Ink saving control
    • Allows bandwidth setting for max DeltaE E.g. a setting of 2.5max will retain color fidelity whilst reducing overall ink by ~7% and up to 20% in some areas
  • Black control - 2 modes
    • Conventional black generation control

The Profile is created from a supplied electronic chart file, which is simply passed through the customer’s normal workflow and measured on a supported Measuring Device.

This Profile can then be used in the workflow to ensure all images are processed to a common CMYK standard. For instance Ink-weight, GCR and Black Printer data can all be standardized using the ICC Output Profile.

Advanced Inkjet algorithms allow common Inkjet output issues to be avoided and compensated for so as to maximize the device capability and ensure the best color reproduction possible.
