Testimonials - Preproofer 945 and 988
The Preproofer 945 and 988 are an ideal solution for producing two sided imposed colour managed proofs automatically, amazing you with their quality, speed and efficiency. With up to 16 double sided impostions per hour (8Up A4), the Preproofer 945 with two Epson 9450 printers is the fastest 44 inch double sided proofing system available today. Preproofer 988 with the Epson 9880 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 9450 with dual CMYK print heads, is set up for maximum performance and speed, the 8 colour ink sets in the 9880 are perfect for optimum colour output and quality.
Fotorotar AG located in Egg, Switzerland is one of four printing houses in Switzerland certified to produce securities and share certificates. The company also produces periodicals, business reports and books (published in-house) on 27 printing units, of which 18 are in 8-up format, mostly in two-shift operations. The requirement for formproofs is correspondingly high. Until now, single-sided sheets have been mounted manually with waxed glue, and then cut and folded into four-page signatures. Not counting the time taken and the high consumption of materials, there was always a risk of faulty paste-up, particularly in the case of small-format finished products. Since Fotorotar was so open to the idea of printing double-sided proofs in a single pass, the purchase of the Preproofer 960 was a quick decision. The sheets are imposed on three Signa stations, processed on a Heidelberg Metadimension workflow, and then transferred online to DI-Plot for output on the Preproofer 960. As a partner, Digital Information was not unknown to Fotorotar AG: this media service provider in the Zürcher Oberland is one of the first to use Remote Publisher, another tool from the Zurich-based software creator. Based on PDF technology, Remote Publisher allows customers of the printing house to edit predefined templates for business stationery themselves, and then release the jobs for printing over the Internet.
