This way you can reduce the number of errors and boost the effectiveness of your staff.

The aNy Color Profiler Module 3+4 ch enables ICC profiling of any color set above and beyond the standard process colors, such as CMYK, with 3 or 4 color channels. These profilers were developed for the décor, textile and ceramic printing areas of application.

For the optimum support of the entire color management workflow, automatic preview profiles are also generated in addition to the output profiles that can be used as reference and soft-proof profiles in all design applications, even if these do not support n-color in the first place.

The aNy Color Profiler Module 3-8 ch enables ICC profiling of any color set above and beyond the standard process colors, such as CMYK, with 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 color channels. These profilers were developed for the décor, textile and ceramic printing areas of application.

For the optimum support of the entire color management workflow, automatic preview profiles are also generated in addition to the output profiles that can be used as reference and soft-proof profiles in all design applications, even if these do not support n-color in the first place.

The Adobe PDF Print Engine is the core that helps converting PDF or Post Script to raster files. It is an important component to make sure that your files are processed correctly.
In ColorGATE’s software you enjoy all benefits of the current APPE version.

• CfX/X-4 support:  Use spectral color definitions
• Print complex images accurately
• Work with transparencies and overprints
• Perfect for processing design files: compatible with all common creative applications

With Adobe PDF Print Engine, working together with designers is as easy as it gets: It is compatible with all common design applications, like the Adobe Creative Cloud. You will print exactly what the designers create.
With the new support of CxF/4, you also get a better color handling: Define spot color channels with spectral data and improve the accuracy of reprints.
And, thanks to our specific way of implementing the APPE in our software, ripping and processing from even the most complex files is faster than ever.

The Channel Redirection Module  enables the definition which color channel should be printed on which print head. Until now this was only possible for the screen workflow to a limited extent. Due to customer feedback it has been enabled also for production and proof workflow. In addition, it is now possible to redirect one color channel to multiple print heads.

In a clear, redesigned dialog box, every print head can be assigned with one or more color channels:

Advantages:

• Possibility of flexible ink setup: Color mode related color channels can be sent to the print heads in any order.
• This allows the usage of unstandardized ink sets or the ink setup in different color order.
• Even if a print head is damaged, the Channel Redirection Module offers the comfortable possibility to use another print head - without interrupting the production.
• Possibility to duplicate one color channel to multiple print heads: This feature is of particular relevance for industrial printing. It increases either the throughput or the ink lay down and consequently leads to performance improvement of the production.
• When required, more print heads than color channels are available for the specific color mode can be addressed. Precondition for this are the appropriate physical characteristics of the printer as well as the appropriate driver settings.

Detecting and correcting color deviations in Décor production can be painstaking. Fortunately, you can automize the color correction workflow: With ColorGATE's Color Correction Loop Module and the IPAC ICMS/ACMS inspection systems, you can detect and correct color shifts inline. No need to print designated targets!

• Detect and correct color drifts in the ongoing production
• Inline and offline color measurement – no need to print designated targets
• Supports IPAC ICMS/ACMS inspection systems

The Color Correction Loop Module significantly reduces the effort required for manual quality control. You simply measure a reference status. When the inspection system detects a color drift in the production run that exceeds predefined limits, Productionserver allows you to calculate a color correction  based on this reference. After that, you can print the corrected job - delays in production are kept to a minimum.

If you want to replace a color in your print data, ColorGATE‘s Color Atlas Module can help you find the right one. You don’t even need a measurement device!

• Fast and easy color replacement
• No measurement devices needed
• Get natural matching colors

The Color Atlas Module visually identifies colors – even spot colors – and generates a cluster of colors around the reference value. You can determine the number of generates patches and their grades. You only need to choose which color you want to use for replacement.
Use your natural color perception and find the matching color – fast and easily!

In this way the total amount of ink, and consequently the costs are significantly reduced. Replace any input color or color range (RGB, CMYK, spot colors) with ColorGATE’s Color Replacement! Identify spot colors in your print jobs automatically, and define global replacements using color replacement tables and ColorGATE’s hotfolder technology. You can also adjust specific colors or color areas manually, using our intuitive color picker.

• Replace any color or color range with L*a*b*, CMYK or device specific replacements
• Identify and replace spot colors automatically

• Create your own color replacement tables
• Use Pantone® tables for color replacement

You can export your own color replacement tables and apply them to all your printers. Thanks to ColorGATE’s hotfolder technology, replacements will be applied automatically. This way you can make sure that your brand colors are always reproduced consistently.

The Color Server enables automatic color space transformation of all supported input file formats (PDF, PS, TIFF etc.), taking into account versatile DeviceLink functions for separation such as: separation maintenance, reduction of ink consumption, black generation and black handling, preservation of pure colors for primary and secondary colors as well as duplex and triplex.

The Computer to Screen Module produces high-quality 1-bit TIFF-data in all required resolutions, also considering CtS-application-specific requirements.

Applying computer-to-screen process, the printing layout is transferred directly from the digital printing data onto the screen by using an inkjet printer or laser exposure. This procedure makes the screen printing process much faster, more productive and more profitable.

Applying the container function it is possible to gang several print jobs in the container into one collective job (nesting). Afterwards they can be arranged either optimized for cutting or optimized for material savings. ColorGATE container function clearly exceeds classical nesting functions by offering scores of additional functions that increase effectiveness and handling in daily production. ColorGATE enhanced the range of functions with Container+ and improved the operability at the same time

Container is the perfect tool for all users who intend to automate their production processes in the best possible way and to reduce material consumption, at the same time.

Highlights:

• Auto arrange method for  cut optimized, media optimized or an ordered nesting arrangement of jobs
• Creation of multipage container especially for flatbed printer for best possible use of the media format 
• Cost Calculation Module and the Print and Cut Module are supported completely by container function
• Consideration of the printer specific zero point for a better overview/ orientation while arranging a job

Container can be generated of existing as well as of new jobs. Jobs can be copied, mirrored, rotated and then released.
It is possible to set up hot container for automated production workflows.

Container+ can be further enhanced in its ability via the Trim Nesting Module to process Flexa and Fotoba cut marks.
 

Keep your costs under control und make sure that your production remains efficient.
With the Cost Calculation Module, you can calculate the exact ink and media consumption per job. This gives you not only an overview of all printing costs already incurred, but you also know before printing what costs will arise for a job. In this way, you can calculate precisely and create accurate cost estimates.*

^{* The results of the calculations may deviate from actual consumption, e.g. due to changes in production variables. We therefore accept no liability for the accuracy of the results.}

• Enter your individual ink and media prices
• Include additional costs for more accurate calculation
• Generate cost reports in CSV or HTML format for specific time periods, concrete jobs or individual printers
• Filter according to the criteria that are relevant to you - for a better overview and a more efficient evaluation

Device link profiles - a special version of ICC profiles - are used for specific color transformations in the color management workflow to produce most accurate print data. They ensure that quality and color accuracy of a print job in the aspect of matching a reference or a standard are improved significantly. This profile creation tool is wizard based and allows an iterative approach to reach the optimal result.

Device Link Profiler Module iteratively optimizes color transformation from a source to a target color space. A wizard provides the current status after every step. Afterwards the result is saved in a DeviceLink profile. The goal is to achieve a minimum color deviation (minimum Delta E) while using a measuring device or relying on the visual impression.

Device Link Profiler Module suites ideally for campaign printing and has proven extremely perfect for application in combination with Proof Standard Digital Module or Proofgate .

Component of Profiler Suite

With the DFE Profiler Module - an extension of the well-proven Profiler Module - ColorGATE offers a new profiler for ICC-characterization of digital printing systems that have their own DFE (Digital Front End) and an integrated ICC-compatible RIP.

The DFE Profiler Module generates a special ICC profile which, in addition to the usual color characterization, also contains the process color control and thus combines all the necessary information for the entire calibration workflow.

This extended ICC profile can be used variably in all DFEs and RIPs that work with output ICC profiles. The created profiles can be used flexibly as input as well as output profile and also for proofing. In this way, not only the ink lay down but also the combination of the process colors is regulated in detail and an optimum image reproduction is made possible.

With the DFE Profiler Module, ColorGATE thus offers the option of taking advantage of the optimized ColorGATE linearization even with alternative RIP systems and in external printing environments.

To run the DFE Profiler Module, the Linearization Assistant is required as well as an OMS including a printer driver, which is capable to generate print data during profiling in a format that can be processed by the specific DFE (e.g. PDF FLAT LOW-/ HIGH-RES or TIFF LOW-/HIGH-RES).

Color Performance Booster for DFE embedded RIPs

• Creates extended ICC-compliant profiles ensuring sophisticated color and ink laydown control for digital presses with embedded RIPs
• Resulted ICC contains the process color calibration, ink limit and linearization in addition to the usual color characterization
• For flexible use in all DFEs and RIPs that support ICC based color management
• Profile works as input and ouput profile, as well as for proofing
• DFE Profiler technology supports CMYK, multicolor and aNy color printing systems with up to 8 color channels

The Express Profiler Module allows the creation of new ICC profiles that are based on existing profiles fast and easy for output devices used in production. Its use is recommended if for example a new substrat has similar properties as an already profiled media. In this manner, creation of new ICC profiles will be accelerated significantly without significant quality sacrifices.

Compared to the conventional profiler, the user just needs to print and measure a simplified target, which altogether reduces the time for creating a color profile with similar quality significantly.

The module also contains functions that allow adaption of the printer setup to existing MIM combinations. Only one color target needs to be printed and measured.

Component of Profiler Suite

Two- and three-dimensional (2D/3D) visualisation and comparison of color spaces

The Gamut Viewer can be used via two ways:

1. Out of the Profiler Module / Profiler Suite

2. Via the menu "options" in the software

Via the menu "options" users can compare up to five different ICC profiles in 2D with a reference or standard color space. These two-dimensional comparisons enable very smooth Campaign Printing Workflows, because of the possibility to define the largest common color space of all printers that should be used.

Via Profiler Module respectively Profiler Suite users can compare the calculated profile directly with the reference profile or with profiles embedded in the MIM combination.

In addition Gamut Viewer allows three-dimensional comparison of up to two ICC profiles. While rotating the 3D-view, problems can be detected and corrected at once. Another important highlight is the option to illustrate a motive as a 3D point cloud. The point cloud shows exactly the parts of the motive that are lying inside and outside the color space.

More options:

• View of calculated gray curves of the ICC profile in different rendering intents which show the different CMYK gray. Combinations depend on the respective profile.


• View of spider of ICC profile in different rendering intents showing the definition of the profile gamut in the L.a.b. color space.


• View of tonal value increase (TVI) / dot gain increase of ICC profile.
   
• Profile information, e.g., creator, color space (CMYK / RGB), device class (printer, input), creation date etc.
   
• View of the embedded colors in the color gamut of a profile, e.g. for a large format test page (CMYK).
