Overview

Presetting your presses is one of the most important aspects of the digital prepress workflow. To accurately preset your press hence save valuable setup time, and reduce wastage, resulting in cost saving and increase productivity. Express InkScript reads CIP3 files or 1-bit files generated from Express RIP, analyses the data, and generates CIP3 files and other ink key control files to your press computer directly. Express InkScript also generates ink density in PDF file format or print it out on Laser printer which press operators can preset their presses manually.

Presetting your presses usually means adding a press computer which read CIP3 files. Most printers with older presses do not have this function and their only choice is to set all the ink value by hand. Now with IS Connect and IS Connect Loop option, your Ink Control unit can now become an online unit to the front end system, receiving CIP3 data automatically. Express InkScript communicates with most common Ink Control unit directly and turns your presses into a modern production workflow. The IS Connect Loop even enables the automatic measurement and evaluation of control strips, as well as the continuous transmission of computed correction value directly to presses.
