How can our sales teams use Blackmagic?
By obtaining sign-off from major accounts on their hard copy proofs, compensation
pay-outs and advertiser charge-backs are reduced. Advertisers see how their
ad will print prior to going to press so there aren’t any surprises with the color.
Can Blackmagic be used for remote proofing
applications?
Yes, newspapers can utilize Blackmagic News Extra for remote proofing.
When hi-res screened bitmaps are sent to remote satellite printing
plants, Blackmagic automatically sees the files with their naming conventions,
stitches the individual plates together, applies color management using
industry-compliant ICC profiles, and then outputs a proof. Utilizing
the autoproofing mode, proofs can be scaled and then nested together
in multiples without any manual intervention.
What about high volume proofing operations?
Blackmagic has the ability to group computers into clusters so jobs
can be processed on different machines at the same time. Seeing multiple
jobs imaging, three rendering, and a couple printing all at the same
time is very impressive. Especially useful for high-volume production
and quick turn-around sites, the clustering feature lets you use more
than one computer to process jobs. A master machine determines how
jobs are distributed across a cluster of networked Blackmagic slaves
so you never miss your deadlines again.
Can I set my own custom ink levels for my proofs?
Paper profiles can be created online with any one of the supported
measuring instruments. Once the paper profiles have been generated,
you have the opportunity to set ink limits for your ink and paper combination.
Setting the ink limits prior to carrying out the normalization procedure
ensures achieving the maximum ink weight possible without saturating
the paper with ink.
What’s a typical installation like?
Our color experts typically output calibrated pages that match your press within a few days of installation of Blackmagic News Extra software.
