Canadian colour specialist TGLC has had its ink optimisation software highly rated by the International Prepress Association (IPA) in its Ink Optimization RoundUP 2010.

TGLC's PerfX Pro and PerfX DeviceLink Pro were amongst 11 systems reviewed, the results of which were announced at the IPA Technical Conference last week.

The software was tested on the following criteria: printing to Gracol specification; ink reduction; inkjet proofing and offset printing; stability on press and appearance.

According to the IPA's test results, commercially available systems are able to provide between 17 and 30% ink savings in typical print production scenarios.

TGLC's software generated a 25% ink saving, ranking it on a par with Alwan's system and ahead of systems from GMG, Agfa, CGS, Beijing Founder, FineEye and MPX360.
