Please Note:
Screenproof needs a computer to run on. We
recommend a Network Server with a 2+Ghz speed processor,
minimum 1 GB of ram and a 100GB hard drive. The operating
system we recommend is Windows 2000 Server (2000 server is a
very stable platform and supports both PCs and MACs right out
of the box.) We can configure a software and hardware bundle
for you. |

A Quick Product Review
|
This review applies to
Colorproof. Screenproof has all the features of Colorproof plus the
ability to print screens as well. Please call us for additional
informaiton on Screenproof.
As a dealer of digital
proofing and wide format printers for more than a decade we have tested
and sold many different RIP brands. This includes, among others, RIPs
from EFI, Wasatch, ColorBurst, Onyx and Colorbyte. For RIP software in
its price range (under $5,000) we judge EFI Colorproof to be the highest
quality RIP on the market. The reasons are as follows:
-
High-Quality Postscript
processing and stochastic screening, together which, produce
consistently accurate and clean images.
-
High level of color
accuracy. The only SWOP Certified RIP in its price range. A good set
of tools and interface for an accurate ICC Color Workflow. Additional
tools to determine media ink limits and linearize and re-linearize the
printer (keep it producing accurate color over time).
-
Print Queues and hot
folders that, once learned, provide an easy, reliable and
consistent workflow.
The only drawback we find
with the Colorproof RIP is that it is a bit more complex to learn.
Because it does more and has more functions than many RIPs, Colorproof
is a bit more difficult than other RIPs to set up and become familiar
with. You should also know that Colorproof, although it does allow you
to measure a new media's ink limits and linearize your printer, it does
not contain profiling software for building ICC Profiles for new media.
If you have this requirement, we can build your profiles, or it is easy
enough to purchase a 3rd party profiling package (Monaco Profiler) for
use in conjunction with Colorproof.
As with most of the RIPs
we sell, we highly recommend that you purchase installation and
training. |
