ICScolor has announced the release of its newest product, PressCheck.
Using the Remote Director backbone for sharing colour accurate proofs to the display, PressCheck can send the colour accurate press sheet and target proof comparison directly to the client’s office within a few minutes of printing the sheet.
‘Now printers can get sign off on the quality match of their press sheet without the need to allocate press downtime around their customers’ travel schedules,’ said Dan Caldwell, president of ICScolor. ‘This opens up the ability to offer press approvals to a wider number of customers while saving costly travel and out of office time previously associated with on-site press approvals.’
PressCheck is a great tool for narrow web and label printing facilities as well as those running full size press sheets. The system comes with a ProofCheck viewer for both the printer and the client to ensure the same colour is viewed in both locations. Additional ProofChecks can be added, or the client can use existing hardware.
‘I have seen a lot of soft proofing systems in my time but never anything better than this. To say I was impressed is an understatement,’ said colour management pioneer Don Hutcheson after viewing a demo of PressCheck. ‘The soft proof matched the scanned press sheet and the original digital file as well as any soft proof I have ever seen. Even better, it all happened so quickly and easily, it made me feel colour management had finally come of age.’
