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.
