Brainnew - Econoink

econoINK was designed to cover the common issue that a press without a CIP3/4 connection, but its associated prepress department had invested CTP. The digitalization stopped in the door of press room, if no CIP3/4 for CTP production. After invested CTP, most printing companies then found they could not benefit from CIP3/4 to save ink and paper waste on printing. Because of the existing press machine was not equipped with CIP3/4 adapter, although CTP had prepress digitalized. It is expensive to invest CIP3/4 adaptor for any existing press comparing to CTP and the relative workflow software.

Highlights:

• econoINK is one of the product created in postRIP series solution, but it can be a standalone software for those who needs best ROI product of PPF & ink-key printout. postRIP and econoINK are trademarks of BrainNew Inc.

Express InkScript

Express InkScript is a comprehensive solution for ink key presetting. It reads 1-bit tiff file from RIPs, analyzes and generates CIP3 files for the ink control unit. It can also read CIP3 data files in from selected front end system, ready for the ink control unit to set the ink key value on the press. From the 1-bit tiff file, it calculates the ink density and output in PDF file or print out on Laser printers for users to base on the hard copy to preset their presses. There is a server-client option which is most flexible for ink key presetting on a multiple presses environment.

Highlights:

• Save press setup time
• Reduce the amount of paper and ink wastage
• Faster and safer than hardware plate scanner
• Generate CIP3 PPF using 1-bit digital file
• Export ink density value in PDF and windows printer output
• Support Express RIP option for PS, PDF, and EPS input
• Support Visual Proof option for soft-proofing
• Tightly integrate with Express WorkFlow 3

PressSign

pressSIGN tests and controls the printing process to give consistently accurate color and provides analysis of press performance.
Using pressSIGN dramatically reduces make-ready times and increases print quality. Matching international printing standards
such as ISO 12647 is easy.
There are 4 version of pressSIGN, pressSIGN standard, pressSIGN-Pro, pressSIGN-Trends, pressSIGN-PrintBuyer. See the pressSIGN compatibility chart on next page and choose the version that suits your needs.

Highlights:

• Easy to adjust each ink key density to achieve the lowest Delta E
• Create and adjust plate curves
• Pantone® Libraries for 5 or 6 color printing
• Compensation for the color shift as ink dries (dry back)
• Detailed pdf report for measurements or production report
• All International Printing Standards built-in
• Reduces make-ready times
• Works with the X-rite Eye-One
• Easy to get the right settings

Inkscript Optimizer

Compose’s InkScript Optimizer is the first Preflight, Standardization and Optimization software for four color separation files. It allows designers and prepress companies to quickly and accurately produce documents for problem-free printing. Printers gain the capability to control and improve the printability of files containing four color separations by optimizing the separation according to the actual process/press/paper. Standardized files using InkScript Optimizer will generate reproducible proofs as well as plates and cylinders that allow optimum printability and runability on press.

Features and Benefits:

• A software for each step in the workflow
• Preflight & Standardize files in prepress
• Optimized PDF for problem-free printing
• Dynamic Analysis
• Designed for publishers and sheet-fed printers
• ICC Device Link Profiles
• Dynamic Total Area Coverage, DTAC, correction
