Testimonials - Preproofer 745 and 788
The Preproofer 745 and 788 are an ideal solution for producing two sided imposed colour managed proofs automatically, amazing youwith their quality, speed and efficiency in a production environment. With up to 16 double sided impositions/hour (4Up A4), the Preproofer 745 with two Epson 7450 printers is the fastest 24 inch double sided proofing system available today. Preproofer 788 with the Epson 7880 is a more appropriate choice for output of more accurate double sided colour proofs required for contract proofing. The micro piezo printhead and UltraChrome K3 inks are at heart of these next generation printers. While the 7450 with dual CMYK print heads, is set up for maximum performance and speed, the 8 colour ink sets in the 7880 are perfect for optimum colour output and quality.
In the year 2000, Ropress in Altstetten, Switzerland became the first printing house in the world to be awarded the FSC certificate. The FSC label is presented by the Forest Stewart Councilship to companies that contribute to ecological and socially responsible forest management. Primarily, the company produces in four-page format and uses KIM PDF as the output workflow for the imposition of finished PDF pages with subsequent 1-bit TIFF file from a Harlequin RIP. The identical data is used for output on the Preproofer 760 and for plate imaging. The Preproofer 760 brings Ropress considerable savings not only in relation to efficient formproof printing: since work began here using the new DI-Plot controlled proof output device, the formproof has at the same time become a contract proof. This is submitted to the customer as an Contract proof. Since the spring of 2004, ISO 12647-2 compliant ICC profiles are stored in DI-Plot. Ropress also uses DI-Plot for calculating ink zone setting values: so-called InkZone files are transferred via Ethernet to the InkZone-Box, converted into the format specific to the printing machine (Heidelberg), and written to the JobCard. The data is input into the CPC system from the printer for automatic ink fountain presetting.
