ProofMaster Color Optimiser supports embedded ICC profiles for RGB and CMYK, colour conversion tables, dot gain compensation and correction and file format options for both input and output. It also includes options to preserve ink purity, as well as for rendering tables.
The module supports existing workflow items such as ftp, Samba, hot folders and AFP.
There will also be a Pro version, which will add in more functions, such as GCR ink consumption and savings statistics.
Color Optimiser digital proofs and pdf files are compliant with ISO 12647 for international printing processes.
PerfectProof Europe general manager Mark Verbist said: “Alwan’s standardisation and optimisation solutions are the perfect addition to PerfectProof’s offerings, because we consider colour accuracy and predictability as essential for high-quality proof and mock-up making, be it in the commercial printing, the packaging or the signage market.”
The product is available for both Intel and Power PC-based Macs and will ship in May 2007. It will be on show at Fespa, which runs from 5 to 9 June in Berlin.
