Ink Optimization & Ink Presetting

Quickly realize the cost-saving benefits of a Presteligence ink management system. The optimization of plates and calculation of ink densities can save your operation countless labor hours and costly consumables.

Ink-Miser Ink Optimization
Ink-Miser Ink Optimization is designed to locate all the places on a page where the cyan, magenta, and yellow equal a color of grey. In those areas, the system replaces those colors with less expensive black ink. The results are immediate, including typical ink savings of 30 percent. At the same time, you will achieve improved color consistency and print quality due to less color saturation and fewer variations in color throughout the press run.

What’s more, Ink-Miser Ink Optimization enhances your energy conservation efforts with fewer press start-ups and fewer wasted materials including ink and paper.

Xtreme Inking Ink Presetting
Time and materials are normally wasted at the start of each press run, waiting for a quality page to print. Xtreme Inking Ink Presetting automatically calculates ink density values. It achieves faster start-up times by utilizing the same data used for printing plates and shares that information with the press control system. The program generates a printout reflecting the proper ink calculations for manual correction or automatically transmits the ink values to the press control system without human intervention.

By predicting ink presets, Xtreme Inking saves expensive make-ready time and reduces paper waste. During start up, an experienced press operator can gain significant savings of time and material – up to one hour per run and hundreds of pages.
