This is a soft proofing system that allows you to check the necessary confirmation items for package design on a display without wasting materials or time. It maintains a consistent environment by verifying and calibrating the standard-equipped LED lights and display. Since it can operate while measuring and verifying the displayed colors of the job, it achieves high color reproduction accuracy! By using multi-color ICC profiles (CMYK + N), it is also possible to simulate ECG (Extra Color Gamut) colors. To map the specified Lab values of spot colors to the minimum color difference (dE) on the monitor, it enables accurate simulation of color tones, printing substrates, and decorative effects. It can display the effects of special layers such as white ink, varnish, and foil processing on the printing substrate. Brand owners and clients can use the viewer function version to perform proof checks under the same conditions remotely. The registration of Lab values for spot colors can be done using measured values from compatible spectrophotometers, as well as by importing pre-prepared spot color library data or CxF files. By linking with CXF CLOUD, it also enables the simulated reproduction of predicted intermediate tones.

"CERTIFIED 3.1" is software that verifies whether color management of proofs is being conducted properly and certifies their quality. It is also possible to certify the quality of the printed materials themselves. By measuring the output and printed materials with a colorimeter and comparing the color differences with reference values, the accuracy of color reproduction is certified. By not only visually confirming but also objectively verifying the measurement results numerically, it ensures the standardization of printing and quality certification. 【Features】 ■ Flexible reference value settings ■ Color measurement of proofs takes about 1 minute ■ Measurement results can be verified from various angles ■ Share color certification information via web browser ■ Generate reports of certification results from devices viewed in the web browser in the required format *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

"X GAMUT 4.3" is a color management software that performs color separation for devices equipped with a fixed extended ink set to streamline their operation. It enables color separation for spot-less printing using wide color gamut color reproduction, thereby improving the operational efficiency of printing devices. By converting high-saturation RGB or CMYK data using an extended ink set (CMYK + N Color), it allows for the reproduction of high-saturation image visuals that are extremely close to the original on printing machines. This is particularly effective when reproducing high-saturation image visuals that clients expect in high-end art printing or photo book production. 【Features】 ■ Well-suited for the operation of devices with extended ink sets ■ Automatically performs appropriate color separation for the extended ink set ■ Reproduces high-saturation image visuals very closely on printing machines ■ Usable for large-format inkjet output and more *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
