The Prinect print control strips are optimized for color control on Speedmaster presses and the use of Prinect color measurement systems. They are in EPS and PDF format so they can be processed using standard workflows.*
You will also find control elements (Mini Spots) for dot gain, process control e.g. according to ISO 12647-2 or G7 and proofing. These can only be measured with a hand-held measuring device or, in many cases, with Prinect Image Control 3.
The process - simple and fast:
The process is very simple and only requires a program for unpacking ZIP files and Adobe Reader or Acrobat on your computer. Please refer to the operating instructions. They contain important information on the use and installation of the print control strips in particular, as well as detailed installation instructions.
*Due to the wide variety of application programs, Heidelberg does not guarantee error-free use on third-party systems.
If you require an older version of the print control elements, please contact your local Heidelberg representative .
Even though modern digital imaging software can automate the process of color management, certain aspects will always remain subjective. Having a deeper understanding of the principles behind color management and what choices to make helps printers achieve optimal printing results.
