Fujifilm has launched a colour-control tool to ensure a match between screen and digital print output produced using its inks.

Pro-File, which will debut at Fespa 2010 in Munich this June, will enable printers to hit the Fogra 39 dataset for ISO 12647-2 using screen process presses or Fujifilm's Acuity flatbed printers.

The Acuity's high-resolution, flatbed design and white ink capability enable it to reproduce the same dots as screen, onto the same stock, which the firm said made it possible to proof or produce short runs that matched screen print.

Pro-File is based on three components, Fujifilm Sericol screen and Uvistar digital inks, the Acuity printers and the ColorGate RIP.

Over time the company plans to extend support to any machine using Uvistar inks, including the Inca range.

Fogra 39 and ISO 12647-2, which are derived from sheetfed litho conditions were chosen based on the adoption of litho to replace a lot of screen work and their adoption by print management companies as a standard across all media.
