ColorGate’s (Hannover, Germany) version 7.10 of Productionserver, Filmgate, Proofgate and Photogate features such new modules as the In-RIP-Trapping Module (TRAPM), the versatile GamutViewer, the optional 1-Bit-TIFF-Input Module (1BITM) and the Adobe PDF Print Engine 2.6 (APPE) for screen workflows.
The new ColorGATE In-RIP-trapping module eliminates registration error, boundary-lines flashes of image elements that can occur (due to mechnaical inaccuracies) when sequentially printing different color elements. In-RIP trapping enables overprinting or under filling of adjacent image elements.
The ColorGATE Gamut Viewer enables 2- and 3-D comparisons of different color spaces and can be launched from the Profiler Module (PFM)/ Profiler Suite (PFS) or via the software’s menu options. The viewer allows you to compare up to five ICC profiles in 2D, with a reference or standard color space, and defines the largest gamut for print-run workflow when using various printers. Additionally, GamutViewer allows you to compare up to two ICC profiles in 3-D and rotate the view to see details and possible problems.
The Profiler Module/ Profiler Suite allows you to see the calculated profile and compare it with the embedded MIM combination profiles in or other reference profiles.. ColorGATE GamutViewer is now available for all Productionserver 7.10 products, Photogate 7.10, and Proofgate 7.10.
The optional 1-Bit-TIFF-Input Module provides a method for processing incoming 1-bit TIFF-files to create halftone proofs and to de-screen input data for form impositioning proofs and thereby test (prior to print) documents to avoid incompatible artwork. The system’s accurate color proofs allow you to detect color shifts.
Version 7.10 also performs screen-data format interpolations; confidence strip placement options and size and distance data. ColorGATE RIP software Productionserver 7.10 already supports the measuring devices: Barbieri Spectropad, Mutoh SpectroVue VM-10 and X-Rite i1Pro2. It provides driver support for many common printers.
