Just two days ago in a demo, a customer wanted to print Delta Export
files
Hold on a sec, Heidelberg has a paper somewhere that explains that
Delta is a proprietary format the industry hasn't accepted, and which
will be replaced with PDF. BESTColor supports Delta.
Yesterday, a
packaging customer needed extensive support for spot color simulation
(especially golds, etc.)
iQueue ships with licenced Pantone color libraries, just as the
ProfileMaker ColorPicker does. This belongs in the color server and
not in the inkjet RIP, unless the inkjet RIP also doubles as color
server.
With iQueue you can proof custom colors defined as Lab, either those
in bundled libraries or with libraries you measure yourself.
You must make sure that your QuarkXPress / InDesign etc. setup uses
the same names for the spot colors as those Pantone has licenced to
GretagMacbeth. This has always been an issue with PMS colors.
No inkjet images metallics so as the ColorPicker manual says the
matching accuracy is only as good as your inkjet's gamut volume is
large (well, in this crazy business maybe I shouldn't exclude any
possibilities -:)).
A CTP
client needed to have absolutely no dot on the proofs in the 1%, 2% and 3%
areas because in their offest prints, these areas are empty
This is to do with the incoming data and not the matching or the
proof printing, no? iQueue is an ICC color server and not a RIP. But
if you need a gradation correction by color model that is also doable
in iQueue.
