So many files sent to printers are set up incorrectly, some have the wrong profiles attached, while some elements are RGB when others are CMYK. There are lots more potential pitfalls leading to very unpredictable results, some of which can be very time consuming to fix.
SOS have teamed up with Alwan, who provide a simple but very powerful system, that standardises files and all elements within them to produce consistent and predicatable results.
The system works by manipulating the way the separations are created, and allows printers to significantly reduce ink and toner consumption without any visible change to the printed colours. Using less ink means that the job dries more quickly, with no set off, and it is easier to print for the press minder.
The system recognizes the output printing conditions and press ICC Profile and optimizes black generation for the destination process.
Ink savings are calculated by the software so that you can see just how much money you are saving on each job!
