It is currently available as a SWOP-certified set suitable for the US market, although beta tests have been carried out in the UK.

Today, the need to innovate and improve print quality is driving the adoption of extended gamut process colour printing, said KPGs director of worldwide colour proofing business, Rob Pipe.

The media can be used in thermal platesetters with a halftone proofing option, including Creo Trendsetters and Lotems fitted with the Spectrum option.

KPGs new larger gamut donor set is part of a renewed interest in the technology. In the US, Creo is beta testing Spotless, which uses Hexachrome and stochastic screening to replace spot colours.
