Download
the FREE Colorsource application for controlling your CMYK Proofs and
Prints :
This
software is available as FREE or paying version. The free version
allows fast and easy control of all CMYK prints and proofs by using the
royalty-free Colorsource ISO 12647-7 CMYK control bar.

the complete Colorsource software suite for optimizing your solid inks densities and printing forms
gravure curves, for all CMYK and N-Colors printing works:
Too
many
print houses are under-equipped for color and density measurement: They still
use (and even buy!) obsolete analog CMYK densitometers for press setting and
offset plate's
control. They
often use one single expensive hand-held spectrophotometer with obsolete
measurement technology and locked internal software, while using a USB connected
spectrophotometer with appropriate software allows much better optimization of
ALL Graphic Industries prepress and color printing processes and for a much
lower cost.
For
mastering your N-colors print processes, Colorsource applications are bringing
much more powerful and flexible solutions than using high-end expensive hand-held pressroom spectrophotometers, while being much cheaper today than the
most basic CMYK densitometers. They allow excellent setting of all printing presses, by using, for example, a
simple X-Rite Eye-One Pro or Konica-Minolta FD-7 USB connected spectrophotometer.

Download
the full Colorsource press-setting software:
You will be able
to control and calibrate your offset plates, set your CMYK offset, gravure or flexography
presses matching ISO12647-x standards. You will be able printing N-Colors jobs
with or without a CMYK base, as well controlling your inks formulation and
determining their optimal printing densities for matching your target.
You
will be able as well to optimize, fix and record your own standards for any
N-Colors printing application and then match these standards at each print
run.
Just
download the application and try it! You
will be impressed by the printed results.

Brief
technical
specifications of Colorsource press setting software:
Checking
CMYK proofs and CMYK prints:
CMYK_Proof_and_Print
application: For quick and reliable check of all CMYK print and proofs.
The application allows you using ISO 12647-7, ISO 12642 and ISO 12647-2-3-4
standards, plus more sophisticated standards with your own tolerances and your
own target colors.
The FREE version (LIGHT) checks prints and proofs by using the royalty-free
Colorsource ISO 12647-7 CMYK optimized control bar. The paying version checks
the Colorsource CMYK control bar plus older Fogra MediaWedge 2 and Fogra
MediaWedge 3 paying control bars.
Calibrating and controlling the
offset plates:
PLATE application: For
your CTP calibration, with an excellent accuracy even on self-developing offset plates with high N-factor and very low optical contrast.
Matching CMYK prints to ISO 12647-x standards:
CMYK_100% application: For computing at each press-setting the optimal density of each C, M, Y and K solid ink allowing to match the relevant ISO 12647-x C.I.E. Lab target colors, with taking into account the stock inks and paper spectral data. And for controlling production print runs.
CMYK_Gravure application: For computing the CMYK printing forms engraving curves, allowing matching the relevant ISO 12647-x C.I.E. Lab target colors on all CMYK screened tones, and for controlling production print runs.
N-color printing with or without a CMYK base and printing spot colors:
SPOT_100% application: For helping to the ink formulation, controlling the ink formulation, computing
spot colors optimal print density at press-setting, and for controlling each production print run.
SPOT_Gravure application: For computing each
spot color printing form engraving curve, for optimal N-Colors press setting, and for controlling the production print runs.
The software
for optimizing your 2 to 10 colors Design and Repro processes with using all existing Graphic Industries standard low cost software and
hardware production tools:
This
Colorsouce software turns N-Colors Design, Repro and Proofing works becoming as
simple, accurate, fast, and easy as for CMYK jobs.
A
must for packaging and high-end color printing Industry!
(At
least for the ones who don't like heavy, complex, unproductive, and ruinous
solutions. Yes, there are now a few ones among Print Buyers and Print Producers
;-))
