Printers are on a mission to find better ways to win more business and operate more efficiently. Their experience from last year is driving a renewed energy across the printing industry as they embrace the continued variability of print markets and its impact on how print production environments receive, produce and deliver work.
VariVerge required a workflow solution for their print environment that would be compatible with its new and existing print production technology, while providing additional cost savings. After selecting Solimar and implementing their modular Chemistry(TM) workflow solution, VariVerge estimates they have saved $100,000 in labor and development time.
Black point compensation is already widely used in production printing, especially in situations where the combination of the substrate, colourants (e.g. inks) and printing process cannot achieve a very high density for blacks. Enabling BPC will often increase the perceived quality of graphical elements such as natural photographic images because they may achieve a higher contrast and more ‘punch’.
