MELVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon
U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital
imaging solutions, is set to showcase– for the first time in
the United States – Océ's next
generation of proofing solutions software for digital production
printing, Océ's TrueProof V5, at Graph Expo 2016.
Océ TrueProof V5 is positioned to become an industry-leading
digital proofing solution for companies around the nation.
Customers who have to produce large quantities of statements,
direct mailings, books, or brochures are looking for outstanding
quality and prices. Therefore, it is imperative that print service
providers and digital print shops be well-equipped with precise
digital proofing tools in order to help users gain efficiencies,
reduce costs and turnaround times, and maximize flexibility to meet
customer needs. The highly innovative Océ TrueProof V5 is designed
to allow print providers to estimate ink usage and costs, rectify
inconsistencies in layout and registration, expedite simultaneous
or consecutive digital proof approvals, or generate precise color
content proofs, all prior to final production, helping to ensure
outstanding quality, low cost and integrity of the final printed
product.
Océ TrueProof V5 is a WYSIWYG software proofing tool that allows
for a pixel-exact preview of applications, registration accuracy of
retro/verso printing in semi-transparent preview, a superimposing
of preprinted forms to check for imprint alignment, and data
integrity throughout the print workflow, including RIP. It also
allows print providers to easily determine color coverage and
calculate ink usage, an important economic feature whenever
transparency of costs and calculation is vital.
The new Océ TrueProof V5 is designed to shorten the time needed
for generating and approving new applications with its ability for
proofing both soft and hard copy color proofs. The optional hard
copy proofing module allows customers to create content proofs for
automated output to a Canon imagePROGRAF 6450 plotter device
purchased separately; while the optional new soft-proof module, is
a combination of TrueProof V5 soft-proofing software with a
calibrated monitor housed in a light booth used to support the
design and prepress process. The soft proofing can also be used as
a color reference guide for adjusting color before the production
run and for remote customer acceptance. Océ TrueProof simulates
production printers like the Océ ColorStream series, Océ
ImageStream series, Océ JetStream, Océ VarioPrint 5000, and
VarioStream 4,000, 7000, 8000 and 9000 devices.
With digital full-color printing advancing into the graphic
arts, packaging, and one-to-one marketing, the industry is moving
towards on-demand ordering of smaller quantities, more
frequently. Time spent on setup, order management, and error
recovery can significantly increase as run-lengths decrease. Print
providers need to minimize risk and increase efficiencies. Océ
TrueProof V5 software proofing
solution is designed to make it possible for users to save costs
related to set-up, down-times, consumables, labor and time to
produce proofs prior to production printing.
"With an increased demand in full-color digital printing and
print runs becoming shorter, there is little margin for
error. The Océ TrueProof V5 digital hard and soft-proofing
solution is designed to help users discover mistakes made during
the file preparation process prior to production, while assuring
printer buyers that they will receive the printed product they are
expecting," said Toyotsugu Kuwamura, executive vice president and
general manager, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon
U.S.A., Inc. "Canon is poised to
be a leader in an industry that continues to reinvent itself with
more complex applications and color needs than ever
before."
