CGS introduces the next generation of ORIS Press Matcher for digital printing systems
Friday 25. June 2010 - The award-winning central color management solution for digital and analog printing systems now features an intuitive browser-based user interface and a revolutionary technology for print optimization
CGS Publishing Technologies International, global leader of color management solutions, digital proofing systems and specially formulated media, announced today that ORIS Press Matcher // Web, latest version of the worldwide successful ORIS Press Matcher, is now shipping.
ORIS Press Matcher // Web, incorporating the patented ORIS color management technology of its predecessor, has been completely redesigned and optimized for the specific requirements of all forms of digital printing. Its now possible to manage each printing process with one central color management system based on client/server architecture.
A prerequisite of todays brand communication is consistent color reproduction independent of the printing process. Digital printing devices are increasingly being used to complement conventional printing but their color gamut often varies significantly from analog presses. ORIS Press Matcher // Web colormetrically aligns all presses to one common repeatable standard, whether an international standard such as ISO coated V2 or GRACoL, or a customers own house standard.
Color profiles for each printing environment are created purely by measurement using an iterative process and deliver highly accurate repeatable results. A software wizard guides the user through the process – no specialized knowledge is required – and the whole process takes just a few minutes.
ORIS Press Matcher // Web includes a powerful softproofing feature. Print jobs can be quickly and easily uploaded and tracked from anywhere in the world and just before production be checked on a color-accurate monitor and then be released directly from within the application. Remote printing is made easy and, using the optional certification tool, the job can be checked for standard conformity immediately after printing.
For the ultimate in digital press and wide format device stability, the optional Color Stabilizer feature iteratively manages the inter-relationship between C,M,Y and K colors to optimize grey balance and improve press stability throughout the print run.
ORIS Press Matcher // Web directly drives PostScript devices and, with device link profiles produced with the optional Variable Data Output option, can be easily integrated into any existing production environment. The Xerox option, Device Link Integrator, for Xerox production presses with FreeFlow Print Server makes ORIS Press Matcher // Web a perfect combination for high volume, highly accurate, color.
“Last year CGS was honored with the PIA InterTech Award for ORIS Press Matcher and our latest release continues that technical excellence to bring web based ease of use to digital presses and wide format printers.” explains Trevor Haworth, CEO of CGS Publishing Technologies International. “IPEX showed the world that high quality production digital printing has now proved itself as a viable, cost effective, replacement for conventional printing. ORIS Press Matcher // Web makes it easy for printers to make the change from offset to digital.”
