Creo and DuPont develop joint contract proofing system

Creo and DuPont Imaging Technologies are initiating new joint development and sales activities in color proofing. DuPont Imaging Technologies will deploy its well-recognized CromaNet color management, together with Cromalin ink and media, on the Creo Veris proofer. Work is underway to complete development of this Cromalin Veris proofing solution, which will be available through DuPont sales channels.

‘The Creo Multi-Drop Array imaging technology used on the Veris proofer delivers precise control of its 3 pL ink drops to produce superior-quality inkjet printing,’ explains Paolo A. Barbieri, global business director, DuPont Color Communication.

Amos Michelson, Creo chief executive officer, comments, ‘This work builds on the strong relationship we have established with DuPont Imaging Technologies in the provision of thermal digital halftone proofing systems and consumables and the development of color filter manufacturing systems for the flat panel display industry. Both Creo and DuPont Imaging Technologies have a strong history of leveraging one another’s technical excellence.’

Creo will continue to sell Veris proofing solutions, complete with Creo ink and media and direct connectivity to Creo Prinergy and Brisque prepress workflows, through Creo sales channels.

DuPont Imaging Technologies and Creo are also starting evaluation of a new version of the DuPont Cromalin b2 drop-on-demand inkjet proofer that will be integrated with Creo workflow, color management and consumables.
