The development of digital proofing has been nearly 20 years old. It began with the proofing of Koromalin. With the development and wide application of printers, the idea of color management has been proposed and developed. Taiwan began to use Ak printers and color management software in the proofing field in the mid-1990s. However, it has caused concern in the domestic industry, and it has been a matter of recent years. With the promotion of CTP and digital printing in China, digital proofing has been accepted by more and more printing companies. More and more color management software manufacturers have also taken a fancy to the potential of this domestic market and pushed the market to the domestic market. In order to facilitate the comparison and selection of various enterprises in color management software, we will use the color management software of several manufacturers mainly used in China, the software interface, the applicable software and hardware environment, the file types that can be processed, the adjustment methods, and the specialization. Do some introductions on color processing, remote proofing, etc. First of all, we introduce Founder photo color management software.
Founder photo color management software
Founder, as the leading company in the prepress industry in China, has been working with Kodak since the late 1990s to develop color management software. In 1999, the first generation of color management software was launched: CMS 1.0. There were more than 100 sets of sales in the same year. Founder photo was released in the second half of 2001, and the newspaper version was developed for newspaper users. In 2002, Founder was based on users. Need to introduce a post-RIP version. Founder's color management software is now sold to Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Germany, Canada and other countries and regions.
Software version classification
Founder photo is now available in three versions: Photo 2.5 is a commercial version, for commercial advertising, packaging, printing market; Photo 2.3 is a newspaper version, for major newspapers, it contains all the features of version 2.5; photo 2.6 version For later versions of RIP, 1-BIT TIFF files can be processed.
Software kernel
Founder photo uses Kodak's kernel in color management. Founder Company has entered the domestic pre-press photo field in the 1980s, and has mature technology and uniqueness in dealing with double-byte text. Therefore, many export centers, printing houses, publishing houses and newspapers in China are Founder users. . Founder photo continues to use the kernel of Founder Century RIP in RIP processing.
File types that can be processed
Since the photo uses the kernel of Founder Century RIP, it can handle any file format that can be processed by Founder RIP, including: PS, PDF, TIFF, EPS, S2, S72, documents produced by Founder Feiteng and after RIP processing. The intermediate format. The post version 2.6 RIP version can also handle 1-BIT TIFF documents. For the old users of Founder, when choosing color management software, it is necessary to consider processing the files edited by the front typesetting system. At this point, Founder photo is undoubtedly a good choice.
Software supported fonts
The photo software supports Truetype fonts and CID fonts just like Founder RIP.
Software and hardware environment required by the software
It is recommended to use P4 1.5GHz or above computer with more than 256MB of memory. In order to prevent output bottleneck and affect printing speed, it is recommended to use SCSI fast hard disk and more than 10GB capacity. In terms of display, a true color display with a resolution of 1024*768 or higher is required. Founder photo can be installed under Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP system, the interface connected with the proofing device can choose USB, network card, 1394. However, it should be noted that users who choose to work under Windows NT 4.0 need to install SP 6, and when choosing the connection mode of the proofing device, you need to select the network card, because the NT system is older and does not support the USB interface.
Software interface
Users who use Founder PSPNT RIP will feel cordial when they see the interface of Founder's photo software, because their interfaces are basically the same, so they are easy to use and easy to learn. The same as the Founder RIP, Founder photo can set multiple parameter templates for printing different parameters of the file, so the photo software can set several different parameter templates, a set of software can control the output of multiple proofing devices. The write queue window is the same as the Founder RIP. It uses three windows to queue the unprocessed files, the pending print files, and the printed files.
Software parameter adjustment
For users who choose digital proofing color management, when purchasing color management software, it is necessary to consider the way and convenience of software parameter adjustment. Founder photo is mainly through the adjustment of the linearization of the proofing device, the proofing device and the printing device ICC profile file call, color fine-tuning these three steps to complete the parameter adjustment. Like other color management software on the market today, Founder Photo Software cannot directly measure and generate standard ICC Profile files, and must use other software such as Print Open, Lab Fit, etc. In the photo software, ICC profile files of various proofing devices and materials are built in, including the ICC profile file of the commonly used proofing paper EP313 in China. Founder also based on the printing conditions and quality of domestic printing plants, in the photo software, according to the actual printing conditions of domestic printing plants sampling, combined with European and Japanese printing standards, to make several standard printing equipment ICC Profile The file is provided to the user for selection. The fine-tuning of the color in the software is based on the color shift of the proofing result, and the curve is used for minor adjustment.
Software adjustment of spot colors
Since the RIP part of the photo software uses the kernel of Founder Century RIP, it has a strong function in the recognition of the spot color version in the file, but the software still has some problems in the spot color simulation. Although PANTONE, gold, silver, etc. can be simulated using CMYK four colors, there is a color shift, and there is no good solution.
Software remote proofing function
Remote proofing is first and foremost a standard delivery, including proofing equipment and printing equipment, standards for conditions, and then the transfer of proofed documents. Founder photo has no good solution in this regard.
