SCREEN Graphic Solutions and CGS ORIS have developed a new CxF spot colour matching solution technology that will save time, lead to better quality printing, and meet the growing need for independent colour management solutions.
Unlike the conventional ICC profiles, CxF data include the spectral information of the spot color including halftones and transmittance – and therefore allow accurate color calculations and an optimal basis for a precise color reproduction at any time.
But the number of digital printer increases, printing methods have diversified and a growing need for skill-less independentcolor management solutions that reliably ensure reproducing consistent colors across the fleet – even when switching from a flexographic printing press to a digital printing press, or from a digital printing press to another digital printing press – becomes apparent.
The new technology is available for the CGS ORIS CxF Toolbox – the software solution used to capture, store and edit CxF data, in a fast, reliable and safe way. The set-up is simple, with the user needing only to present output colour charts under certain printing conditions and put the colour measurement data into the CxF Toolbox. Once the set-up is ready, the system is able to automatically generate CxFdata of particular spot colours or entire libraries, without requiring any colour expertise. The generated CxF data can easily be embedded in PDF files to be used for a pre-press process.
The CxF Toolbox is seamlessly connected to the CGS ORIS Color Cloud, the cloud solution provided by CGS ORIS to communicate all stored CxF data to the entire supply chain. It guarantees authorised users around the world access to complete and up-to-date colour data – at any time. Even large amounts of brand’s CxF data can be organised and communicated with the CxF Toolbox and the Color Cloud, including brand owners with collections of more than 200 brands.
Additionally, the COLOR CLOUD can be used with the entire CGS ORIS Software Suite, like PRESS MATCHER, X GAMUT, etc., and, of course, can be connected to other workflows and DFE’s that work with CxF data.
SCREEN GA’s newly developed Truepress Jet L350UV SAI, processes PDFs with embedded CxF data and is able to separate them into up to six colors of CMYK + OB (the feature will be available in early 2021). In combination with CGS ORIS’s multi-color separation technology, X GAMUT, SCREEN GA’s inkjet technology, allows in this manner to reproduce spot colors even with an expanded fixed ink set in high printing quality.
