Alwan CMYK Optimizer Press

PDF files come from a variety of sources; they contain elements having different color spaces and separation options. These files need to be harmonized and adapted to suit the printer's actual printing conditions to ensure accurate rendering.

Alwan CMYK Optimizer Press allows a pre-press company or printer to automatically check, correct, and dynamically change the colors and/or ink weight characteristics, before sending them for film or plate output. Alwan Optimizer Press can be used with any four-color process (+ spots) regardless of output technology, so it is suitable for litho, flexo, gravure, digital, screen etc. The hotfolder-based system offers automatic and dynamic dot gain compensation, TAC correction and black generation for optimal printing.

Optimized files for problem-free printing:

In everyday production, the printer receives files from different sources that do not print well on the press. This is due to a variety of reasons: a mismatch between color separation and press profile, or between the black generation in the file and the optimal black generation for the used process, or between ink values in the file and press and paper requirements.

Often, printers do not know a long way in advance on which press a job will be produced, so it's not possible to use the press profile for CMYK separation on the pre-press system. The stock used on a job is sometimes chosen or changed at the last minute depending on price or availability, thus color and dot gain reproduction can vary dramatically.
