FOGRA has completed the research project Professional colour communication in multiprimary printing that aims to derive important requirements for a predictable and professional workflow for industrial multicolor printing. This includes the development of a test suite, which, together with its documentation and evaluation matrix, simplifies the comparison of current applications for the preparation and processing of multicolor objects. Furthermore, a multicolor printing grid is to be developed based on the analysis of typical multicolor systems across printing processes.
Furthermore, an exchange color space for retouching and separation of multicolor print objects (CMYKOGV) will be developed and introduced as part of an ISO standard:
DURST, the manufacturer of equipment for large format printing, has developed its own DURST workflow based on the Callas pdfToolbox:
In addition to Callas pdfToolbox for checks and corrections, Callas pdfChip for digital assembly, ColorLogic for color management and optionally a Global Graphics RIP are used.
Since recently Enfocus Switch PDF Review Module 2 is available. This Switch module provides a fully automated online PDF proofing solution. Enfocus online proofing software removes manual touches from creating, sending, and receiving PDF proofs. It allows production teams to concentrate on getting jobs to press by speeding up the proofing cycle and provides a much better service to customers.
Enfocus offers users the opportunity to test drive the PDF Review Module with their own PDF (max 10 MB).
