Color Manager
When a printed advertisement does not reproduce a brand’s colors accurately, or comply with the original intent of the advertiser, there is a potentially expensive problem. For newspaper printers the cause of de-saturated color, filling-in effects and neutral color deviation is usually due to the use of a standard color transformation from a common source ICC profile (often a wrong ICC) to the printer ICC. In some cases
images are not even color managed prior to reaching the RIP, and then colors become distorted. Achieving a printed image that is close as possible to the original, fully restoring the colors that are distorted during
the printing process is very difficult for any process department. ProImage Color Manager solves the problem.
Color Manager software automatically transforms image files from their source ICC profile to the output ICC profile. It does this dynamically, without any loss of color saturation or dynamic range. The results
are accurate color reproduction achieved easily, and quickly. Color Manager is also an essential tool should there be a need to re-purpose a PDF for additional targets such as a heatset press, the Web, or even a tablet PC.
Using SISR (Smart Input Space Recognition) Color Manager automatically analyzes the image to detect the source ICC, even when it’s unknown. Then using unique color transformation technology it automatically
converts the image from the source profile to the output ICC profile.
As very few images are the same, each undergoes an individual transformation according to the source profile detected. The software then makes the image as close as technically possible to the source image
and maintains all the color that would normally become de-saturated when processed. In addition, the color
transformation takes into account the paper’s CMYK color to maintain the visual grey balance. This provides you with better quality and a valuable competitive advantage.
As another benefit, ProImage Color Manager makes the image sharper taking into account the output resolution of the RIP screening and the user’s preference. So whatever the job, Color Manager software
will enable you to reproduce stunning results, and maintain happy customers. As a bonus, Color Manager includes ProImage OnColor ECO which allows you to save
around 25% of your color ink cost.
OnColor ECO
ProImage ink optimization software solutions have become industry standards.
Easy-to-use and with a rapid ROI, OnColor ECO solution will fit seamlessly into your workflow. OnColor ECO automatically analyzes PDF files and, using Gray Component Replacement (GCR), determines the optimal amount of ink needed by newspaper and commercial presses to produce the best image quality.
It reduces ink consumption and this means less cost, less rub-off and set-off, and a smaller carbon footprint. Using sophisticated algorithms and ICC profiles for input and output, ProImage OnColor ECO replaces an equal amount of CMY ink (the gray component) with lower cost black ink to produce a perfect printed result every time, whilst using much less ink overall.
The main benefits of ProImage OnColor ECO are:
- Cost reduction - Ink savings in the order of 10% to 40% – in most cases, the average ink volume saved is approximately 20%.
- Sharper images – sharper images are highly visible when dark items that were printed with CMYK are replaced by K only.
- Reduced file size – in almost all cases the use of PDF files with OnColor ECO significantly reduces file size by compression while maintaining original quality.
- Improved gray balance – natural objects look more realistic.
- Better color stability and fidelity– since only the essential CMY ink components (pure color) remain on the image, colors are more stable and easy to control on the press.
- Ink saving analysis – a special algorithm calculates the exact amount of ink and cost saved during processing.
- Smart Input Space Recognition – this sophisticated algorithm detects each
image’s color space enabling correct input to the press color space.

ProImage Makes Breakthrough with Niko Meter
After months of research and development we are proud to introduce - Niko Meter, an intelligent software that will alert production staff to any risk of missing a deadline.
The software shows a number of meters on the screen, each similar to the speedometer in a car. Each meter shows very visually the production status of each plate – and these change colour and warn when there is a danger, or imminent danger, of a deadline being missed.
Named the “Niko Meter” as a tribute to Niko Rukosuo, a former technical director of the Los Angeles Times, a ProImage NewsWay workflow customer who had the original idea.
Izzet Edige, New ProImage, states, “The Niko Meter is proving to be a very valuable tool, especially with today’s minimal production staffing levels. It automatically monitors live plate production and helps optimize the productivity of an expensive newspaper press.”

Merkel Rainbow
German chancellor Angela Merkel is quite a phenomenon of colors. Blazer remains invariant. Suit for yourself if there is a deeper meaning in this dress-code, dear intelligent readers – do let us know if you have a clue.
The images where collected by Noortje van Eekelen as part of her Spectacle of Tragedy.
The German chancellor opted for a green blazer for her visit to Greece. But, as this natty Pantone chart shows us, Merkel has found a fashion formula she likes, and she's sticking to it.
For her visit to Greece, Angela Merkel's soft green jacket should have been just the right colour choice to convey a sense of calm. That is, if it wasn't the very same one the German chancellor wore to celebrate Germany's victory over Greece during Euro 2012. But with fashion not coming to her as naturally as economics, Merkel has got her formula and she's sticking with it. Her signature look comprises three-button blazers, often from German designer Bettina Schoenbach, in a huge range of colours. Dutch graphic designer Noortje van Eekelen even created a Pantone chart of the look for her website The Spectacle of Tragedy. From black to beige to a very on-trend purple, it runs to an impressive 90 shades. That's one for every situation Europe's most powerful woman might find herself in.

Press Register
The NewsWay Press Register – corrects mechanical mis-registration and paper stretching on any press NewsWay Press Register is a software solution that corrects for mis-registration on the printing press without the need to touch or modify the press. The application can scale, rotate, mirror and shift the image to be exposed on the plate. NewsWay Press Register greatly improves the final print registration and minimizes mechanical adjustment on the press. This is done by processing the 1 bit TIFF of each individual separation (C, M, Y or K) to the appropriate size to compensate for any web press mis-alignment. NewsWay Press Register can operate as a stand-alone server or can be easily implemented within the ProImage NewsWay workflow.
On a cylinder of web press, the paper travels a long distance between plates at a very high speed and tension. When ink and water are applied to it, the paper expends and stretches quite significantly, causing mis-registration of the image. This problem is further emphasized in tall towers where the distance between plates is significant and the paper can stretch, for example, from Cyan to Black by up to 2.5 mm (0. 1”). Traditionally, this problem is corrected by the use of tension wheels (also called Bustle Wheels), however, the corrections are not consistent , limited to a specific place on the paper and non linear.
Press Register overcomes those issues by performing precise digital scaling of the entire plate image for each separation at a very high degree of precision. Using a hot folder and an easy to use wizard, the operator defines the plate size, the required registration and angle deviations for each separation (mm or inches). NewsWay Press Register will automatically rescale, rotate and mirror the 1 bit TIFF image data of each plate (while preserving the punch registration marks) and make it ready for exposing on the output device (CtF or CtP). The scaled image will be placed on the plate either with left, right or center justification, to simulate paper stretch on a multiple plates cylinder. It improves the final print quality providing faster make ready while reducing waste.

Technology
ProImage has developed 4 major generic technologies, which are the foundation of its Web based products. The parallel operation of these technologies dramatically improves the performance of Web applications.
Real-time browser-server connectivity - This technology combines the Web user interface advantages (remote access to the software) with the standard software advantages (real time response to events). It operates an additional server running in parallel to the Web server, working in conjunction with the active browsers. The parallel server pushes the required information to the Web server at any given time according to events taking place on the server. This information is packed efficiently and implementation of incremental data and ageing techniques prevents the server from re-transmitting data that is no longer relevant.
Distributed component relationship - This technology is built in a few software layers: Network of algorithm components "glued" together in a scripting language to create a skeleton for job processing. Job description messages are fed into this skeleton to complement information needed for a specific job. After these messages are fed into the skeleton, changes in its structure can occur in order to accommodate the more specific needs.
A dynamic Web application model - This model is a high level model that allows running and controlling processes on a network of computers and not only on one server. It allows the easy creation of process definitions and GUI elements.
Web based content creation - This technology allows the users to create content from a remote location. The content is represented through an XML format, which is the future data format for use in both printing and over the Web. ProImage was the first company to provide an interactive WYSIWYG XML based editing system.
