PDF-InkAdjust
PDF-InkAdjust reduces ink consumtion through under color removal and ink coverage reduction. Moreover, the color adaption to specific printing conditions is possible. By this for example a PDF made for ISOnewspaper26 can be adapted to the needs of waterless offset printing.
Replacing color with black
PDF-InkAdjust uses GCR/UCR to adjust the color composition to achieve an ideal replacement of CMY with black. DeviceLink profiles are used for this purpose. The replacement of color with black stabilizes the grey axis, shortens the adjustment period and reduces waste. The appearence of the colors remains.
Avoid/Limit Overinking
PDF files often exceed the total ink coverage needed for the printing process. PDF-InkAdjust limits the ink coverage to the desired value (e.g. 240% for newspaper offset). There is less smearing, and the print dries quicker. Adjustment and set-up times are shorter and there is less waste.
The waterless offset process requires a limitation of ink coverage to avoid production problems and optimize quality.
Color Space Conversion
PDF-InkAdjust adjusts color spaces in PDF files automatically to the desired color space for the printing process. RGB images are detected and optimally converted. Already in CMYK created objects can be customized for the particular printing process.
For example, PDF files that were created for a coldset press can be produced on a heatset press.
Variants
PDF InkAdjust is available in two variants:
- PDF-InkAdjust Server
This variant is the "standalone" application. It can be added to existing production environments. - PDF-InkAdjust
This variant is fully integrated into the wNewsNet workflow system.
The functionality of both versions is identical.
