Eliminate hand measurements!MyPressXpert PressSignature™ – works with all closed loop sys-

tems. The data collected is stored in a dynamic database for future

referral. The idea is that press and prepress professionals can col-

lect more information about how their print process is performing

without wasting time measuring colour bars. Sound familiar?

Can you make 2 different presses print the same?

PressSignature - CAN!

MyPressXpert PressSignature™ – the world’s first online press and print process control management system, designed for the most demanding multisite print environments. Control Dot Gain; identify Best Density for different papers; create ISO 12647 certificates for print; create custom Smooth Curves for your prepress CTP RIP; automatically identify mechanical problems in print.

MyPressXpert PressSignature™ supports multi-web configurations so that each part of the printing press is measured automatically by the system. This enables you to compare results from different parts of the press or from different presses or allow you to make averaged TVI (Dot Gain) corrections which ensures that all plates are made to the mid-point of the physical press characteristics.

Our intelligent curve-fitting algorithm, Silk Curve™, is unique and uses “special” custom logics to provide the smoothest TVI curves around. This means smooth vignettes, accurate correction curves and outputs for all major RIP and workflow systems. Example shown Kodak Prinergy.

MyPressXpert PressSignature™ – this enterprise level, robust, web server-controlled system, can backup and record, all print readings into one dynamic database. dynamically recording variations in Lab, Density and TVI to build a map of your real print performance to ISO 12647 specification guidelines.

No more hand held readings!

MyPressXpert PressSignature™ – automatically converts the measurements from GMI Clarios Closed Loop systems into smooth TVI characterisation data which, after automatic filtering, produces the most accurate correction data in the world. This solution will guarantee a match to any ISO12647 defined data set or ICC Profile; such as FOGRA39 (ISOCoatedv2), FOGRA45 (LightWeightCoated-LWC), Gracol etc.

Press warningsMyPressXpert PressSignature™ – Has on-board press diagnostics that helps identify a problem, suggests the cause, where to look for the problem and then supplies appropriate action to fix the problem. The repeatable nature of the results, enable us to create logical tests that enable accurate diagnosis of press faults. This unique feature makes PressSignature the only system in the world that can analyse real mechanical problems on a press and provide engineering in formation regardless of the manufacturer!

Enables all sites to be managed across LAN or Internet providing a visual assessment of press characteristics uploaded to the solution remotely by each printing plant.

Matching the colour first time!MyPressXpert PressSignature™ – dynamic Density to Lab calculations instantly provide pressmen with the exact target density to feed into Clarios, ensuring you achieve the most accurate match to the standard end points from the very first scan. This is far easier that trying to work things out with test forms or control strips.

Matching the colour first time!MyPressXpert PaperCheck™ – Often Printers work with multiple papers and only one or two defined printing standards. This can lead to undesirable print quality or lengthy make ready on press. Simple to use, MPX Paper Check tells you which standard you should use for a given paper, enabling you to target the correct standard from the first time on press.

If

you are struggling to get your colour to match a proof, you could be targeting the wrong standard; (there are currently nine paper based standards used in heatset within ISO12647). Getting it right improves quality, reduces waste and ultimately saves you money.

Can you make 2 different presses print the same?

PressSignature - CAN!

Record how you print over time! MyPressXpert PressSignature™ – is a fully capable database system

that records all jobs and data quickly and easily. A comprehensive

“Search” function allow you to recall data from any time stamp,

Support for all print standards! MyPressXpert PressSignature™ supports all international printing

standards as well as any custom standard for unique press/paper

combinations.

Each standard can be allocated to individual users on the system.

This helps target users to print environments and reduce confusion

and promote better adherence to print standards that are suitable

for specific environments.

Certificate your results! MyPressXpert PressSignature™ – Allows you to certificate your print

results. This shows you and your clients how close or far away you

are to standard print conditions.

Grey Balance your press!MyPressXpert PressSignature™ – Allows you to calibrate your

press based on Grey balance as well as LAB adherence to end point

colours. based on BVDM, G7 and ISO 12647, our unique grey neutral

on press calibration alone. When coupled with our Colourserver2

technology, this feature can mean great savings through the reduc-

tion of ink consumption and waste.
