MaxPro shortlisted for pre-press innovation awards

MaxColor has been shortlisted in the pre-press innovation category for the Flexotech Awards 2011. 

MaxColor is an option within the MaxPro suite of applications and has been developed to help reduce the amount of inks/print stations used on press by changing or replacing existing colors in a job. Benefits are said to include increased color vibrancy, lower ink usage and better registration. 

Features include internal color conversion via MaxColor Profile, post conversion editing and monitor calibration, display profile and display dot gain curve as well as color library. 

A Silver Metallic Pro option was also short listed in the pre-press innovation category. Silver Metallic Pro is an option to MaxPro, developed to automatically produce either white ink separations for printing UV offset/fexo or gravure on metallic foil, or for producing silver ink separations. Once images are converted, a metallic view feature enables the user to check the result on-screen, while adjusting the light reflection intensity and angle to simulate the print ink and material combinations.
