Tar Proof color management software
Star Proof color management software entered China in the late 1990s and was a software familiar to many insiders. Its developer is a Malaysian software company. This software has been promoted to many places around the world, and nearly 80% of companies in Taiwan use it.
Software version classification
Star Proof color management software is one of the earliest software that can be used to simulate dot-selling in China. It has been processing 1-bit TIFF files after RIP in China. There is only one version, and it has been upgraded to version 3.2.
File types that can be processed
Star Proof color management software has always been a development of multiple RIP output. It handles file formats mainly in 1-BIT TIFF format, and can also handle CMYK TIFF, 1-BIT DCS, Delta List (Heidelberg Delta RIP) The format of the processed intermediate file). It is not difficult to see that the file format it mainly deals with is the vector format.
Software supported fonts
Since Star Proof color management software accepts 1-BIT TIFF, Delta List and some image formats after RIP, there is no need to install fonts in this software.
Software and hardware environment required by the software
Star Proof color management software is software running on the MAC platform. It requires a hardware environment of MAC G4 733MHZ or higher, preferably dual CPU, 512MB or more memory, 6GB or more hard disk, with USB, 100 BASE-T Ethernet. network. The operating system is OS X or above. The latest installation requirements are the OS 10 operating system version, and the file processing speed is faster.
Software interface
Now the interface of Star Proof color management software has been finished, it is a Chinese interface, which is convenient for users.
Software parameter adjustment
Star Proof color management software is different from the two software principles previously introduced. The two softwares previously introduced are color-corrected by creating an ICC Profile file that compares the printer's gamut space with the printed gamut space, while Star Proof color management software corrects the color by adjusting the density, so it is in the process of adjustment. There is no need for a professional spectrophotometer and software that can create ICC profile files. Only a common reflection densitometer can complete the color correction process.
The adjustment steps of Star Proof color management software are mainly: adjust the CMYK four-color channel (in this process, each color can be adjusted by 4%, 40%, 80%, 100%), adjust the opposite color, adjust R, G , B three colors, adjust the three-color black, adjust the four-color black, so that the software can be corrected.
In the adjustment process of Star Proof color management software, there are two outstanding features. First, considering the difference in color sequence in printing, it has a certain influence on the color. Therefore, the software is added according to the actual printing situation. The function of printing color sequence is not available in many other softwares; the second is to adjust the color mixing according to the actual printing overprinting rate in the software.
Software adjustment of spot colors
Star Proof color management software, like the two previously introduced software, can simulate a spot color such as PANTONE, by converting the color of the spot color into a four-color value, and then printing the spot color according to the converted value by the printer. But there is no good solution for gold and silver.
Software remote proofing function
Star Proof color management software stores and adjusts the adjusted curves and images that need to be printed to off-site proofing. Different printer colors will have some differences.
Price range
Star Proof color management software supports different printers of different formats. Generally, the version supporting large format printers can support small format printers at the same time. Otherwise, users can choose software according to their needs (although it needs to be explained that Support for large and small versions of different format printers at the same price). In addition, the software has an option - the output software, installed on other machines, can control other printers to use different adjustment curves to print at the same time.
Review
According to the above introduction, the Star Proof color management software is characterized in that the software corrects the color by adjusting the density. According to the software vendor, the color difference ΔE between the color and the printed color adjusted by Star Proof software is about 1.8. The software can adjust the color mixing and select the color sequence is also its unique function. Star Proof software is powerful for processing 1-BIT TIFF files and can output images with 200LPI precision. It is reported that the new version of the software running on OS 10 only needs four minutes to interpret a facing image. However, Star Proof software requires a lot of adjustments and requires a good understanding of color.
