pressSIGN Description

A software for accurate color on press pressSIGN is designed to consistently create accurate colour. Measure and control the colour on your press.pressSIGN works with the GretagMacbeth Eye-One and is available as a bundle, pressSIGN suite.Five easy steps to accurate colour:- add the pressSIGN control strip to one of your jobs- read the control strip with your Eye-One and adjust the densities as recommended by pressSIGN- read the control strip when dry and update the dry back calculations- adjust the plate curve as recommended by pressSIGN- run the next job with the pressSIGN settings and you'll have consistently accurate colourGenerate a color bar for the full width of the press sheet (see screen shot)) or as a single set of patches for placement on the press sheet. Use the full width color bar to replace your current color bar or use the single color bar as an additional bar on the sheet. See pressSIGN-Pro for details on how to adjust each ink-key.pressSIGN generates the color bar based on the press target you have chosen. For example, you may have selected an ICC profile as your press target but your customer wants to print on a different paper color. Read the new paper color with the Eye-One, re-calculate the grey balance, select the measure points for the tints and save the settings. pressSIGN works in conjunction with the GretagMacbeth Eye-One spectrophotometer and reads the pressSIGN control strip in seconds. Choose the control strip to suit the job or press. Read a strip that runs right across the press sheet up to B1/1000 mm wide (with the Bodoni extended ruler) or place a single set 23 patches anywhere on the press sheet. Read either the strip with one swipe . Alternatively measure the patches individually. When you have read the strip you'll receive an instant report on all aspects of the press sheet (see the main window above).The speed with which pressSIGN operates allows you to monitor your press run constantly. You can therefore ensure the complete run conforms to the standard selected. Here are some key features of "pressSIGN": · predict the correct density to run the CMYK solids based on the press target selected · export the data to adjust the plate curve to achieve the correct dot gain · built-in standards include ISO 12647-2, 12647-3, 12647-4, 12647-6, GRACol G7. · use any CMYK ICC profile as your press target. · measure the paper white and adjust ICC profile. Export the adjusted profile back to the pre-press workflow for use in proofing and program set-up. · measure wet or dry - pressSIGN compensates for the colour shift as the ink dries · measure the color bar across the whole width of the press sheet in seconds with the Eye-One (requires the Eye-One extended ruler) · generate a colour bar to match the press target you have selected · receive a detailed pdf report and/or label print output · traffic light scoring system with default settings fully user configurable · make individual readings anywhere on the press sheet for density, dot area, Lab, deltaE comparisons · create averaged dot gain curves from multiple readings. Allows two presses to be set up with the same plate queue · average readings from a job to get an overall score. · generate your own standards based on previous jobs or typing in your own values. Limitations: · 30 days trial What's New in This Release: · Full press sheet view for stips over more than 1 ink zone · Importing ICC Profile functionality expanded to include changing white point. · Generate new grey balance patches automatically when importing from an ICC profile. · Generate new pressSIGN colour bars for Eye-One Pro (single srtip and full press sheet) · Create adjustment curve for HP indigo digital presses · Specify the number of ink zones when adding a press · · Changing preferences whilst a job is open recalculates scores and ink adjustments correctly · Calibration reporting error
