add the pressSIGN control strip to one of your jobs

read the control strip with your Eye-One and adjust the densities as recommended by pressSIGN

read the control strip when dry and update the dry back calculations

adjust the plate curve as recommended by pressSIGN

run the next job with the pressSIGN settings and you'll have consistently accurate colour More about pressSIGN

Paper Colour pressSIGN compensates for dry-back Use pressSIGN both to evaluate dry sheets and to show you how to adjust the press as it's running.

Because pressSIGN compensates for dry back you can use it on press. Adjust the densities as suggested by pressSIGN and you'll find that the colours will dry back to hit the ISO targets. Each control strip reading takes only a few seconds and you have a objective measure of the colour, grey balance, trapping and overprint. pressSIGN step by step to ISO 12647-2 pressSIGN takes you quickly and easily to the ISO 12647-2 standard. pressSIGN's five easy steps to the ISO 12647 standard reduces make-ready times and improves your colour contrast. pressSIGN's tools allow you to test for ISO during the run and make any density adjustments knowing that they'll dry back correctly. pressSIGN both reads the density and suggests the correct density adjustment. Setting the right dot gain curve can be difficult. pressSIGN provides you with the tools to set the correct dot gain curve quickly and easily. Read the sheet with the Eye-One and pressSIGN and within seconds you'll have the plate adjustment curve to add to your plate or imagesetter Complete set of measurements in seconds pressSIGN works in conjunction with the GretagMacbeth Eye-One spectrophotometer and reads the pressSIGN control strip in seconds. Read the whole control strip with one swipe and you'll receive an instant report on all aspects of the press sheet. The speed with which pressSIGN operates allows you to monitor your press run constantly. You can therefore ensure the complete run conforms to the ISO standard. Choose the standard that suits your press pressSIGN allows you to select different ISO standards according to the type of press you are running, the type of paper and the appropriate dot gain curve. You can also select the the default tolerances or adjust the tolerances to suit. You can add tolerances for grey balance, overprint and trapping. .
