Digital proofer complementary to existing range

DuPont Imaging Technologies is expanding its range of contract digital proofers with the launch of the new Cromalin b2 It is complementary to the existing range of Cromalin Digital products, and brings new levels of efficiency and productivity by the use of Piezo Array Print Technology

The Cromalin b2 is an advanced implementation of Piezo Array proofing technology, which has been developed by DuPont specifically to ensure continuity in proofing quality and color accuracy.

Driven by a PostScript level 3 RIP, incorporating DuPont's well known color management software, it uses expanded gamut inks to create a stochastically screened image onto specially developed substrates.

Continuity has always been the philosophy behind the Cromalin range since its inception 30 years ago,? states Jean-Pierre Richard, Marketing Manager Proofing for DuPont Imaging Technologies.

?From the original analogue Cromalin to the present day digital systems, we have delivered consistent proofing to an established, print relevant, standard using the most cost-effective technology available.

The Cromalin b2 is a continuation of this philosophy, which will make digital contract proofing to Eurostandard specification available to a wider audience, including print buyers and design agencies.

Many of our competitors have developed Color Management Systems which drive DOD printers to simulate contract proofing.

Having evaluated this technique, DuPont decided that a new approach to Piezo Array Print Technology was required, involving all critical elements in the process, to provide the accuracy, consistency and repeatability needed by the industry.
