Océ TrueProof now enhanced with full colour capabilities
Thursday 06. May 2010 - Océ, an international leader in digital document management and delivery, today announced the latest improvements to its solution for soft proofing in highly-productive digital print environments. In todays highly flexible and cost-sensitive printing environments, it is essential to have the appropriate application ready in next to no time.
Soft proofing the answer to complexity and cost
“With the increasing demand for full colour in almost every kind of application, from statements to complex mailings and brochures, the applications become more complex,” said Crit Driessen, Vice President, Marketing and Strategy, Océ Production Printing. “As a consequence, the production equipment becomes more expensive and quality demands increase. These challenges call for one essential part of the workflow – soft proofing.”
Océ TrueProof reduces costly reprints and production downtime
Soft proofing ensures the application works on the chosen printer. Application designers fit their applications into a pre-printed form and Prepress specialists safeguard that a complex imposing scheme has the correct recto/verso page registration. Otherwise, costly reprints or downtime of production equipment results. Océ TrueProof provides a solution to overcome these challenges.
Customers assess costs beforehand thanks to Océ TrueProof
Océ TrueProof is more than just a simple viewer. It simulates in a pixel-exact manner the complete portfolio of Océ high-performance printers with their features and options, reflecting their operational functionalities. Océ TrueProof also enables the calculation of colour coverage before applications enter production. This new improvement helps customers to estimate their costs beforehand, avoiding surprises during or after production.
Océ TrueProof simulates pre-printed forms, permits viewing of recto/verso page registration, emulates Océ CustomTone as well as full colour, and can be integrated with virtually any kind of Output Management System.
There are hundreds of customers all over the world who use Océ TrueProof for their daily work, saving time and money by proofing applications before starting the actual production process and safeguarding output quality.
