At the recently concluded drupa 2016 tradeshow, the OEM demonstrated its new DI AutoColor system on the Presstek 52DI ECO-UV Digital Offset Press. DI AutoColor is available with the purchase of a new or certified, pre-owned DI press, and can be ordered as an add-on accessory for existing DI customers. The OEM’s DI AutoColor is a precise colour management system for Presstek’s DI digital offset presses. Powered by X-Rite colour science technology, DI AutoColor is a closed-loop colour control system that provides highly consistent colour, reduces make-ready times and helps to minimize ink and substrate waste. DI AutoColor includes ExactLoop, a touchscreen interface software program and the X-Rite eXact Scan, a Bluetooth-enabled spectrophotometre. The eXact Scan is capable of simultaneously measuring M0, M2 and M3 in scan mode for both spot and scan readings. Fast colour management data is automatically sent to the ExactLoop software which makes automatic adjustments to the ink keys on the press, leading to extremely predictable and repeatable colour.
“Presstek is committed to helping its customers improve efficiencies and stay competitive,” said Ralph Jenkins, Director of Worldwide Sales and Marketing for Presstek.
“With the DI AutoColor bundle, the ExactLoop easy-to use closed-loop colour control system combined with the power of X-rite colour technology, Presstek’s DI customers are equipped to automatically manage colour on press and achieve even more consistent spot-on colours across their print and packaging supply chains from sheet-to-sheet and from job-to-job.
