1-Bit
The ProofMaster 1-Bit option fits in any workflow and allows users with a CtF or CtP system to apply the ROOM ( RIP Once Output Many ) principle, the only guarantee for catching problems before they hit the press. Plate data from the production RIP gets proofed as pure dots for imposition purposes or with color management for the most accurate color reproduction. Three types of 1-Bit proofs possible. With ProofMaster, if it’s on your plate, it’s on your proof.
Advanced Color
For advanced users with the highest color management quality demands or packaging specialists, this option combines a number of features to create in-house Multi Channel profiles, simulate flexo printing and obtain full control over spot colors.
RasterCreator
