ColorGATE GamutViewer is now available for all Productionserver 7.10 products, Photogate 7.10, and Proofgate 7.10. GamutViewer also provides many more convenient functions of which one highlight is absolutely the function for illustrating motives as a 3D point cloud that shows the parts of the motive lying inside and outside of the color space. It is possible to rotate the view to see details and so to recognize any problems immediately. GamutViewer allows comparing up to 2 ICC profiles in 3D. Via the Profiler Module/ Profiler Suite users are able to see directly the calculated profile and can compare it with the profiles embedded is the MIM combination or with a reference profile.
This enables definition of the largest gamut for a Campaign Printing workflow, when using several different printers. Via the menu “Options” user can compare up to five ICC profiles in 2D with a reference or standard color space. The function can be launched in two ways: out of the Profiler Module (PFM)/ Profiler Suite (PFS) or via the menu “Options” in the software. The ColorGATE Gamut Viewer enables impressive two- and three-dimensional (2D/3D) comparisons of different color spaces. Next to offset printing, especially for screen and packaging printing trapping is an important feature which is now available as optional module. In order to counter these misalignments, trapping enables overprinting or under filling of adjacent image elements. Usually this happens because of mechanical inaccuracies of the printing system.
The new ColorGATE In-RIP-Trapping Module ensures that there are no flashes due to registration errors at the boundary lines of image elements, which should not be visible, when printing image elements of different colors sequentially on a printed sheet in multi-color printing. The 1-Bit-TIFF-Input-Module is an ideal solution for customers in packaging industry, but also for pre-press workflows in other areas. De-screening 1-bit TIFF data, users will receive very accurate color proofs, enabling them to detect color shifts right in time. In this way, documents can be tested completely prior to printing to avoid incorrect artwork and that may lead to high costs and time losses. The optional 1-Bit-TIFF-Input Module provides a simple and reliable method for processing incoming 1-bit TIFF-files to create halftone proofs and to de-screen input data for form proofs (impositioning proofs).
In addition, the Adobe PDF Print Engine 2.6 (APPE) now is also available for screen workflows. Supporting a wide range of new printers and measuring devices the area of application of Productionserver RIP software has been extended again. The new version provides outstanding new features and modules such as the 1-Bit-TIFF-Input Module (1BITM), In-RIP-Trapping Module (TRAPM), and the versatile GamutViewer. Latest version 7.10 of ColorGATEs successful RIP software solutions Productionserver, Filmgate, Proofgate and Photogate are available now in version 7.10.
