The application of soft proofing technology in the market has become more and more extensive, and it has already put some pressure on hard proofing. Perhaps one day it will make the hard proofing technology redundant.
The problem is that only after the soft proofs reach very fine quality can they be widely accepted by everyone. To some extent, soft proofing has become an established fact, and the PDF file is an essential element. The customer can send and receive jobs through email attachments and determine on the screen whether the job is accepted.
But for many crucial jobs, the value of print is of great importance. Hard proofing seems irreplaceable at this time. But Drupa, who had just finished, changed all this. Let's take a look at the high-performance soft proofing products that Drupa introduced.
Just as ink-jet proofing will gradually replace various hard proofing methods such as toner, overprinting Cromartine proofing technology, and hard copy Matchprint, screen proofing will also replace other hard copy proofs. This is only a matter of time. Before validating these answers, we need to remember the reason for proofing. Proofing can not only present the final color effect to the user on the paper, but also is a way to convey the customer's intention on the production chain. It allows users to have the opportunity to make necessary changes to the printed product, indicate what the print should look like, and what the press should pursue. The instructions given by telephone are easy to make mistakes, and proofing can provide correct job instructions, and these instructions are strictly followed by the printer. Prosecution work is an indispensable part of a sensitive proofing system.
In the past, the proofing cycle took several weeks. Now it only takes a few days, but the people who need to check and sign samples are growing exponentially, such as front-end printing buyers, prepress, and printing. In many cases, these different departments are located in different places. Soft proofing is not only a very ideal model, but also a must.
Soft proofing has a variety of options when it comes to transmission between multiple parties. The easiest way is low-resolution PDF, which is passed and checked with a small amount of data; the most complicated way is for the customer to check the digital file, check the overprint and filling, measure the density and color value, do the screen annotation, confirm The color and printing effects they see are accurate.
What makes this possible is the convergence of web-based communication and color profiles, improved displays, and open minded ideas that are willing to make a good change to existing work practices.
As a color standard, such as ISO12647, has been widely accepted, it makes the determination of colors easier through the definition of mathematics. At the same time, ICC documents have also been increasingly understood and applied by people.
Software and monitors have also made great strides. Apple's Cinema Monitor stands out from the crowd of displays, and customers have been brought into the soft proofing process unconsciously.
Large US publishers want their suppliers to complete the print job and can work without hardcopy proofing. Their reasoning is that sending jobs in digital format and letting FedEx deliver samples from New York to the network of magazine printing companies is meaningless.
Screen proofing of content is an existing feature of almost all production workflow systems. Customers can see a low-resolution proof on paper and check whether the page content is in the right place. The premise is that accurate color proofing has been accepted. . This is the core of Atelier's DPD system.
Atelier's DPD, like Dalim's system, can display every page of the magazine so that the progress of the work can be seen at a glance. The green light indicates that this page has been accepted, and the red light means that some work needs to be done. But these are not true proofing software. Dalim is now trying to get closer to the actual proofing.
In Drupa 2004, the first truly pre-check software based on JDF was introduced. Although there are many preflight softwares that can check the contents of code and files, they do not visually represent this information. Dalim took a crucial step. Its preflight system was able to display pages with errors or question marks and indicate where the difficulties were. In fact, this is an automatic proofing system. When the file is transmitted and the information including the color description file and related information needs to be pre-checked, the system starts to detect the proof, determines whether the color is correct, and whether it meets the printing press. If these files are PDF files, they will be placed in a workstation with a pre-Rip explanation for waiting, and a final proofing will be completed.
However, some companies still have difficulties in turning to soft proofing. KPG promoted this transition. KPG used its Matchprint brand to extend its old analog system to an inkjet proofing system to the current screen proofing system. With the company’s acquisition of RealTimeImage earlier this year, the Matchprint Virtual system was highlighted at drupa, transforming a system that matches the ICC profile to a pixel-streaming system. This is also the company’s Technology core.
RealTimeImage invented soft proofing technology through pixel stream technology. Pixel stream technology enables high-resolution images to be transmitted over the Internet to remote monitors. Customers can zoom in and out of images, evaluate traps, and more in their own comfortable office. To make this technology a definitive proofing method, the only thing missing is the assessment of color. KPG solved this problem.
Currently, Matchprint Virtual needs to work in a dedicated dark room. There should be 2 screens in this darkroom. It is highly recommended to choose Sony monitor and a traditional viewing platform. The monitor carefully selects and removes any form of hotspots and internal color cards that are replaced by the structure of the KPG. Each adopted monitor is another cloned product. Their essence is to be able to duplicate each image exactly. The environmental requirement of this darkroom is to reduce the influence of room lighting.
What the observer sees can be judged by different paper pressures or the current proofing system.
Strict control is not over yet. KPG insists that customers print a test sheet that will be used to calibrate monitors every day of the week. This data is stored on the RTI web page and can be used by the designer to send it to the printer.
Similarly, KPG wants to ensure that all employees are responsible for proofing and understand what they are doing. This is not simple for trainees. Similarly, one person will be selected to handle all judgment work. The reason is very simple, that is, different people look at the same image will have different feelings, these different feelings will cause soft proofing inaccurate.
The monitor needs to be calibrated every day and it is recommended that the monitor be warmed up to the correct operating temperature.
In order to test the KPG system, it is recommended that customers put forward their most challenging proofs. Usually these proofing problems mostly focus on the red color, because the human eye can easily detect slight differences from the red color. This situation is rare in green and blue.
Once started, KPG will determine that each Matchprint Virtual display is exactly the same as the others.
Although this solution is beyond the scope of daily work, what the company wants to achieve is to develop systems around flat displays. The preferred are the Apple 20-inch and Eizo 21-inch monitors. This system will be launched later this year. It will also have an operating platform. With this platform, people will be able to check the pages behind the podium before printing. Moreover, it also has a work unit that rotates around it, and this unit can check the printed sheets against the image on the monitor. This printing model has caused a lot of potential users' reactions to Drupa.
KPG appears to be the only company with an image delivery system. The system controls the monitor with precise adjustments, but other companies also compete in specific areas. NewYork has integrated a color system, is working on the calibration of the display, and has ended the debate between the digital transfer of the document and printing based on the value set by the closed-loop color system. This is especially for instruments used by GMI.
In terms of color transfer, Creo uses InSite as part of its Synapse client-facing application. Originally developed on the basis of RTI, and similar concepts as RTI have delivered images over the Internet. Although very powerful, he is still part of the customer relationship management system. It can make an order application and control it by checking whether the image is ideal.
Cyan Eproof, a newcomer to the field, is promoting the Target Colour system in the UK. It is a German technology featuring ICC monitor calibration and pixel flow technology. The selected part of the image is sent from the server, so there is no need to wait for a part of the image when downloading the image. As a German technology, it can support all PDF/X versions, and the company has its own superior technology that can provide additional control over density. It can provide inspection, annotation, and email triggering capabilities, which is the essence of digital workflow. It also attracted the attention of many large publishers and companies.
Similar to the KPG method, which version of Cyan Eproof is used depends on the needs of end users and the economic strength of their company. The same is true of RTI. Cyan is expected to grow in strength with other ways.
There is no doubt that more and more different methods are available. All methods are impacting the market and supportive speeches are increasing. This started with big users, but even Cromalin seems to have been a matter of previous life, and in this life, soft proofing will continue to develop by leaps and bounds.
