Xerox Corporation announced a new suite of color management software for its Xerox DocuColor 7000AP/8000AP Digital Presses that ensures more consistent color image quality and more productivity.
With the Automated Color Quality Suite and its various automated features, print providers can now achieve quicker press set up, increased production time, better color stability and matching, and fewer operator errors.
“Color image quality demands are escalating,” said Quincy Allen, president, Xerox Production Systems Group. “By having the Automated Color Quality Suite available across a wider range of our color systems, more print shops can produce jobs such as photo books, corporate brochures and marketing materials that require a high degree of color reliability and detail.”
The new capabilities are made possible by integrating an in-line spectrophotometer, a device that measures the color of sample prints, in the Xerox 7000AP/8000AP’s paper path. Breakthrough improvements in profile creation technology yield accurate saturated color, even and balanced neutrals, outstanding shadow detail and smooth highlight sweeps.
In addition, Xerox has added Variable Gloss Management to the suite that will reduce the glossy appearance of dark colors in digital prints. Print providers can now adjust the image rendering to a preferred level of glossiness and appearance for any job.
