Prinect MetaDimension 7.5


The RIP for maximum productivity in the PDF workflow 

A range of functions in Prinect MetaDimension version 7.5 have been extended, enhanced, and updated. The key innovations are as follows: 

  • Adobe PDF Print Engine: Prinect MetaDimension version 7.5.1 is supplied with the new version 2.0 of Adobe PDF Print Engine. A number of small improvements make this version more stable overall than version 1. For certain tasks, the improvements also result in even shorter process times. This applies in particular to the step and repeat function, which has now become much faster.
  • The CPSI interpreter has been updated to the latest version (3018). This version supports the latest PDF version (1.7), which means that PDF documents of the latest generation can also be processed using conventional CPSI technology. As before, however, only Adobe PDF Print Engine fully supports transparencies.
  • ColorProof Pro is compatible with the latest models of leading manufacturers: 
    • Epson: Units in the x900 series are supported. To extend the color space, they print with orange and green in addition to CMYK. ColorProof Pro supports this multi-color color space, making the Epson x900 series the proofers of choice for users who often need to simulate a large number of spot colors with maximum color fidelity in the proof. The optional integrated spectrophotometer is supported for printer calibration direct from ColorProof Pro. The measurement of a media wedge for proof approval is not yet supported by the current version, but this is planned for the next version.
    • HP: The Z3200 proofer is supported to a limited extent. It can be operated as a proofer in CMYK mode, but its multi-color function is not supported. For good proof results, we recommend using the Z2100 or Z6100 from the HP product portfolio.
    • Canon: The new iPFx100 proofers are supported to a limited extent. They can be operated in CMYK mode, but the multi-color function is not supported. 
    • More recent proofers from all manufacturers produce a color space that fully complies with the "ISOcoated" standard for commercial printing in CMYK mode. Simulation of spot colors is also very accurate for the most part. Only for extreme requirements relating to the reproduction of spot colors may it be necessary to use a multi-color proofer. We recommend the Epson x900 models for such cases. This is the only series of models for which we support the multi-color function.
Calibration functionality: The calibration function supports multi-color systems such as hexachrome (CMYKOG) and HiFi color (CMYKRGB) as independent process color spaces. As a result, such process calibrations can now be combined as for a conventional CMYK process. This facilitates operation and maintains an overview of calibration curve management. 


Paper stretch compensation 
Many printing materials tend to stretch as they pass through the machine, making optimum register accuracy more difficult to achieve. The paper stretch compensation option ensures absolute register accuracy without time-consuming distortions on the plate or other manual devices on the machine. It helps save valuable machine time and reduce the amount of waste. 


Prinect Screening Editor Special screen systems are needed for specific applications such as lenticular or multi-color printing. This tool enables users to create customized screen systems with optimized features geared to the relevant application. There are two options - one for lenticular and one for multi-color screen systems.

EFI ColorProof 4.0



Overview
EFI Colorproof XF, a professional-level RIP, enables you to manage color in a new dimension by providing you with all the tools to produce the best color possible and to master any proofing or printing task, including producing ISO 12647-7 / 8 compliant validation printing and contract proofing. The solution caters to ad agencies, prepress businesses, publishers, newspapers, packaging companies, full-service printing houses, semi-professional photographers and print shops.

Feature Highlights

Is a Flexible Cross-Platform Client/Server Application
The solution is easy to set up, configure and use because of its application wizards and intuitive user interface. It allows you to easily manage each job, output configuration and location in a remote proofing environment, regardless of whether or not you work in a Windows, Macintosh or mixed environment!

Integrates Easily with Open Standard Workflows
Colorproof XF is focused on supporting industry standards, so it can be easily integrated into open standard workflows. As a result, you can do tasks such as produce ICC-compliant proofs according to ISO12647-7 or G7, or process PDF/X files or Pantone Goe spot colors. In addition, the Ugra/Fogra media wedges v2.2 and v3.0 and the IDEAlliance control strip are included.

Is Simple and Fast to Use
The solution is simple to use, so you can pick it up quickly due to its user-friendly interface, tutorial wizards, automatic modes and preconfigured workflows.

Comes in Modular Concept to Provide Maximum Flexibility
Colorproof XFs modular architecture allows you to customize it to meet your specific needs and operation size by adding the appropriate product or output options.

Offers Fully Automated and Remote Proofing Workflow for Quicker Turnaround
The combination of Colorproof XF with the latest printer technology and the embedded spectrophotometer lets you maximize your productivity with an automated workflow. The technology handles each step of the color measurement process automatically from linearization, profiling and calibration to optimization and verification. It also enables you to print labels directly on the output.

In addition, the solutions integrated remote proofing technology lets you easily set up remote proofing workflows and ensures consistent proof results at any location in your remote environment. By adding EFI Web Control Center, a Web-based application for remote control and distribution of proof jobs and the latest printers with embedded spectrophotometers, you can profit from the most efficient remote proofing workflow ever. Speed up your production and save money on expensive courier services.

Adapt to Specific Job Color Requirements with the Dynamic Wedge
The Dynamic Wedge is a dynamically created control strip that shows a jobs key and spot colors for verifying and, if required, optimizing the jobs color accuracy. It is perfectly suited for color-critical print jobs where a static wedge (e.g., Ugra/Fogra media wedge) does not reflect the key colors adequately or spot colors at all.

Supports Adobe PDF Print Engine v2.0
Colorproof XF supports the latest technologies for streamlining and enhancing workflow communication such as the Adobe PDF Print Engine.

Offers Perfect Matching and Spot Color Simulation
Powered by Bestcolor technology, Colorproof XF ensures perfect color matching for key and spot colors. It even comes with the DIC, HKS, Pantone and Toyo spot color libraries.

Achieves Maximum Productivity with Comprehensive Production Features
The solutions tools transform your printer into a fast and efficient production device. These features include tiling, step & repeat and color adjustments. In addition, its outstanding nesting capabilities lower your production costs dramatically by decreasing paper waste. Plus, an optional comprehensive cutting solution allows you to cut your print jobs and produce anything from contour-cut graphics to packaging mockups.
