NORTHAMPTONSHIRE, UK—  The PressProfiler CIP3 system helps to automate make-ready on sheet-fed litho presses, saving both time to good copy, as well as paper and consumables, using PressProfiler’s CIP3 ink coverage data, which can provide the link from a pre-press workflow to the presses own system. The software package ensures accurate ink-key pre-setting data for faster press make-ready. This, in turn, helps to ensure fewer run-up sheets are required and a reduced time before correct colour is achieved on the press. The fact that just one PressProfiler CIP3 software package can be interfaced to two different brands of press – one German and one Japanese – illustrates just how adaptive, and how affordable, this solution is for printers. PressProfiler is a one-time purchase from Prepress UK – the printer then owns the software for life. It comes with one-year of remote support and then an optional, low-cost, contract is available from year two onwards.
