Proofing
at drupa 2008
Offers the Most Advanced Set of Capabilities in the Industry
Real Time, Cross Platform, Color-Accurate Data Exchange
Supports Any Collaboration & Proofing Scenarios, on Any System
May 27, 2008, New York – Integrated Color Solutions (ICS), the
pioneer of accurate monitor proofing technology and the only provider to of=
fer
so many flexible, cross-platform, real-time, proofing capabilities; will
feature the most advanced proofing technologies in the industry, to date, at
drupa 2008. ICS is also showc=
asing
-- with its many partners -- the capabilities of Remote Director on a varie=
ty
of monitors, as well as its easy integration with existing workflows. Additionally, company vice preside=
nt of
operations, Dan Caldwell, will speak on monitor proofing at a drupa Compass
session on June 5.
Highlights of ICS’s drupa exhibit located in Hall 4, Stand F47
include:
New Version Of Remote Director -- ICS is unveiling a substantially more powerful,
multifaceted version of award-winning Remote Director that redefines the
proofing category. New Remote
Director delivers a long list of unprecedented advantages to commercial and
package printers, publishers and prepress professionals.
By moving Remote Director̵=
7;s
color computing to processors so powerful they are used for advanced scient=
ific
and sophisticated 3D and gaming applications, ICS engineering teams were ab=
le
to move to a spectrally-based color system (the most complete color dataset)
and also add numerous, previously unavailable, functions to the graphic arts
workflow.
Remote Director Demonstrations – drupa attendees will have the opportunity to see
Remote Director in action at one of the five demonstration workstations (Ma=
cintosh
& Windows platforms) on monitors from Apple, Eizo, Quato, NEC and Samsu=
ng
at the ICS stand. Users will be able to see, first-hand, color-accurate rem=
ote
proofing across both platforms and on diverse monitor displays.
In addition to the new Remote
Director version, ICS will feature demonstrations of proofing scenarios for
brand owners, agencies, prepress, publishers, catalogs and printers using t=
he
company’s Remote Director and ProoFlow solutions. Additionally, ICS is
showing approval sign- off via embedded XMP PDF Support. Attendees interest=
ed
in integrating Remote Director into any workflow will also be able to see
examples of how the Remote Director SDK (software development kit) has been
integrated into several third party hosting applications at the stand.
Workflow Integration Demonstrations -- Remote Director is known as an essential compo=
nent
in automated workflows all over the globe. Publications and their suppliers=
worldwide
have chosen and installed Remote Director as their monitor proofing solutio=
n of
choice, while increasing numbers of manufacturing partners are adding the
technology via the simple SDK, or recommending its use to customers.
ICS demonstrations will showca=
se
Remote Director integration with Wave’s MediaBank and Xinet’s
WebNative.
FOGRA – ICS is participating with Fogra as part of the
organization’s "web2proof" demonstration at drupa. At the F=
ogra
stand (Hall 5 A02), trade fair visitors will have the opportunity to genera=
te a
customized test form using a web-interface comprised of typical objects such as images, gr=
aphics
and text representing different problem categories (spot colors, overprints,
transparencies, etc.), which reflect today’s workflows at their best.
Having the goal of mimicking the daily challenges as closely as possible,
special control elements such as Ghent Workgroup test elements will be used=
.
As a
Web2proof partner in the workflow management arena, ICS will use Remote
Director to correct and prepare the customized PDF files towards a
"flattened and CMYK only" print ready PDF. The output intent will=
be
FOGRA39, i.e., offset printing on gloss or matte coated paper (screen ruling
according to 60/cm). The processed file is then available for output to all
other web2proof partners.
In =
this
manner, the interested party can view his or her test form as a soft proof,=
a
contract proof, a digital print, or any and all of them in the preferred
combination. Last but not least, it is possible to obtain production print
sheets of a predefined test form printed according to ISO 12647-2 from a
printing machine manufacturer for comparison or proof simulation. In the
process, one can get information about important aspects of the Process
Standard Offset Printing (PSO) and the proof which conforms to it.
By
participating in this Fogra sponsored event, ICS will demonstrate the
possibilities of state of the art proofing technologies; how standardized, =
high
quality soft, hard proof and digital printing solutions are working from the
design stage up through output.
ICS Presents at drupa Compass
