LFP - Large-Format-Printing
PrintFactory Spectro LFP – easy and productive color measurement for large format printing
Monday 07. June 2010 - Four Pees launches PrintFactory Spectro LFP, an easy and automated spectrophotometer for accurate and productive color management
Four Pees, the exclusive worldwide distributor of the PrintFactory solution for banner, sign and super wide format printing, announces the immediate availability of PrintFactory Spectro LFP. This new product is the result of combining the advantages of Barbieris well-known spectrophotometer Spectro LFP and PrintFactory, a complete solution that covers all aspects of large format production from file preparation to output and finishing.
Accurate color regardless the media and the size of the print
The PrintFactory Spectro LFP, a spectrophotometer for color measurements in digital large format offers accurate measurements of transparent and reflective media, thick and heavy media. Other benefits include its big measuring aperture and fully automatic measurements. All these features combined with the PrintFactory large format application suite make it a unique solution.
Especially for new application fields such as printing on textile, but basically any application that uses coarse screening, the larger aperture of 8mm is fundamental to gain the maximum measuring accuracy. Combined with the special measuring geometry and the fully automatic measurements it is the ideal device for this application. For high resolution prints the smaller apertures are preferred.
The polarization filter allows measuring also the most crucial and exotic materials with shining surfaces or inks.
For easy mounting of most different thin, reflective media (including textiles and fabrics) a special electrostatic sample holder is available. Thanks to this the charts can be placed and fixed easily and quick.
Cost-effective color profiles
The PrintFactory Calibrator in combination with the PrintFactory Spectro LFP makes profile creation a breeze. A simple wizard-based interface guides its users through the process of aligning different printers or different media.
Large format production companies can now benefit from the advantages of creating customized profiles such as more accurate and vibrant color and less ink consumption.
Complete solution for large format
Introduced earlier this year, PrintFactory v4 goes beyond being just a RIP, offering a complete solution that covers all aspects of large format production from file preparation to output and finishing.
PrintFactory continues to expand its already extensive list of supported devices. As one of the first production suites in the market, it drives all aspects of the Roland LEC 300 and 330. Additionally it drives the new set of Canon devices, the HP FB 7500, a series of Kongsberg cutting tables and more.
The ability to run the different applications in a mixed environment on Mac and PC and its powerful color engine, turn PrintFactory into a complete production suite allowing print shops to significantly optimize their production capacity and the profitability of every single job.
