PrintFlat - the screening software that mitigates banding in inkjet output - will be unveiled as an online service for press vendors and their customers at the Hunkeler Innovationdays in Switzerland later this month.
Developed by Global Graphics Software, www.printflat.com, uses PrintFlat technology to generate a customised calibration that will mitigate the banding that occurs when a print-bar is first built, and also as inkjet heads begin to wear or are replaced. Users of the service just upload a scan of the print bar to the website via their user account, and PrintFlat generates a correction that can be applied directly to the press by the ScreenPro screening engine.
Visitors to the Hunkeler Innovationdays (25-28 February) will be able to see a demo of the online service in action.
Martin Bailey, chief technology officer, Global Graphics Software, said: “PrintFlat.com introduces a step-by-step process for calibrating an inkjet press. It can work with any press that has the ScreenPro engine installed. It can be used with any Rip software and any combination of inks, substrates, printheads and electronics.
