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.
