The driving role of CTP technology and all-digital processes in the printing industry can be said that not only is the device "upgrading" to the digital era, it has spawned a new direction for digital proofing applications, and the revolution in print work patterns is even more revolutionary. At present, digital technology in the field of finished proofing applications has not yet formed a disruptive impact on the traditional way, largely because it is difficult to solve the problem of “every device in the digital workflow maintains color consistencyâ€. For magazine companies, advertising companies, and other industries, the current large-format color gamut space is sufficient to meet their output quality requirements, the important issue is to solve the problem of color consistency from the display screen to the output side.
Recently, Rainbow Dijet has developed a "What You See Is What You Get" digital proofing solution based on HP's unique automatic closed-loop color calibration system on HP's new large-format printers HP Designjet 30 and HP Designjet 130. End-to-output color consistency, effectively reducing the cost of digital proofing, and improving the user's work efficiency. According to engineers from Rainbow Dijet, the WYSIWYG digital proofing solution is based on the automatic closed-loop color calibration of HP large-format printers. Automatic closed-loop calibration ensures that the color characteristics of large-format printers are always in the “initialized†state. The color gamut of the screen display color and the consistency of the printout color and "baseline", by changing the color gamut of the display to get "What You See Is What You Get".
The basic principle of the "What You See Is What You Get" digital output solution is to narrow down the color gamut of the display to suit the color gamut of the printer, so that what the screen sees is the result of printing. Because the monitor uses the RGB additive method to generate colors, and the printer generates colors through the subtractive method. Because the screen uses additive color technology, the display is richer than the print in the range of color expression. This is the result of screen and printing. The root cause of the difference in color. Rainbow Dijet Digital Technology has developed more than 20 personalized ICC profiles based on the nuances of different brands of display colors, which basically covers mainstream professional monitors. For users with widely varying application environments, they provide a comprehensive "What You See Is What You Get" digital proofing solution. If the customer requires, they can even tailor the software according to the user's software environment. HP's unique technology support rainbow Dijie digital technology engineers said that WYSIWYG digital proofing output solutions provide users with a complete system from software to hardware. The software system achieves consistency in the color gamut of printers and displays. This is based on HP's large-format printers' stable, high-quality and consistent output quality. HP Designjet 30 and HP Designjet 130 are compatible with HP's new large-format printers. Available to users.
The HP Designjet 30 and HP Designjet 130 both feature 6-color stand-alone cartridge design and color grading technology, with a maximum print resolution of 2,400,1200 dpi and over 75% Pantone patch coverage. Built-in color sensor, to maintain the output color stability, if you choose HP RIP software, the output quality can be greatly improved to achieve the printing effect. From the perspective of user selection, the HP Designjet 30 is a desktop large-format printer with a maximum width of A3, suitable for advertising companies, design companies, and design effects. HP Designjet 130 achieves A1+ format, suitable for digital proofing companies or Large design company, a higher quality digital proofing effect chart. HP large-format printers support the international standard CIE Lab color space and use ICC's international standard color management system. This is the cornerstone for third parties to develop "what you see is what you get" software systems.
In this way, printers and displays can use a common color standard to achieve a consistent color gamut, and both use a common "language" dialogue for color description. The automatic closed-loop calibration ensures that the HP color printer's color characteristics are always “initialized†under various conditions, such as multiple repetitive printing, print head or paper replacement, and changes in ambient temperature and humidity. Automatic closed-loop calibration ensures the stability of the output color. Based on the automatic closed-loop color calibration, the ICC profile of the display is established on the initial color standard in order to map out the final output. Otherwise, any change in the printer's color characteristics, ICC profile will be invalid, WYSIWYG output will be a lower cost, higher efficiency and the traditional offset, gravure proofing method, digital Proofing has obvious advantages such as high efficiency, low cost, and ease of mastering. In the domestic market, it has gradually broken through the monopoly of traditional offset printing to the printing industry. With the emergence of prepress companies mainly focusing on digital proofing, the business volume is growing steadily. in. HP's "What You See Is What You Get" digital proofing solution has greatly shortened the work of digital proofing and significantly improved the output efficiency. Prepress digital proofing usually involves four previous stages of designing, producing color samples, printing samples, and signing samples from customers, and the final step of printing the finished product to the printing factory. Because the colors of the printer, display, film, or film are not matched during the entire process, rework often occurs, prolonging the production period, increasing the plate-making cost, and even affecting customer satisfaction.
The “What You See Is What You Get†digital proofing solution solves the problem of color consistency in the first four stages of the final proofing output, because you can directly edit the overall color and image effects of the final proofing on the screen. Reduce the repetition of the sample output process, and even eliminate the need for color samples and printing samples, and communicate with the customer directly on the screen to modify the design renderings. This greatly increases the work rate and reduces the cost of repetitive printing. From the application promotion of digital proofing, the "What You See Is What You Get" digital proofing solution truly solves one of the most pressing issues in the business of advertising companies, magazines and design companies. In addition, the HP Designjet 30 and HP Designjet 130 also have a significant increase in print speed, which is beneficial for customers to improve work efficiency. Both use photo paper and can print high-quality images at the speed of 4 minutes/page A3 in the standard mode. The optimized driver for RGB ICC profiles can directly convert RGB to CMYK without RIP, giving users a simple and efficient output experience.
The WYSIWYG digital proofing solution achieves the perfect color expression that designers have always dreamed of. It keeps designers, platemaking companies, and customers away from blind and unstable color output effects. Color will not become a digital proofing job. In the dispute.
