Some time ago we have introduced some of the features of Founder's color management software. Next, we will introduce you to the characteristics of some other color management software in several installments.
Best Color color management software
Best Color color management software has been in the country for many years, and is familiar to those in the industry. The company that developed this software, Germany Best GmbH, was founded in 1994. Now it has branches in the United States and Malaysia, as well as branches in Shanghai, France and Latin America. It has a global sales network. From January 2003, Best became a division of EFI (Electronics For Imaging).
Software version classification Best Color color management software mainly has three versions: Design Edition is mainly for low-end users; Color Proof is for pre-RIP and some RIP intermediate files; Screen Proof is mainly for 1-BIT TIFF files generated after RIP Processing, it covers all the functions of Color Proof.
The software core Best Color color management software uses the EFI core for color management. The RIP processing uses the world-renowned RIP manufacturer ADOBE's core-ADOBE PS3, so the software supports optional calculation accuracy, workflow and double-byte fonts. .
The file types that can be processed are Color Proof and Screen Proof. Their versions have been upgraded many times, and they are now version 5.0, which can handle many file types. Color Proof 5.0 is mainly capable of processing TIFF, JPEG, EPS, PS, PDF, DCS, Delta List (intermediate files generated by Heidelberg Delta RIP), CT / LW, TIFF / IT, etc. Screen Proof 5.0 in addition to these file formats, also Can process RIP-processed screen files-1-BIT TIFF format files and HQ / PGB (intermediate files generated by HQ RIP), Founder / FMP (intermediate files generated by Founder RIP), etc.
The font library Color Proof and Screen Proof supported by the software can support the installation of PS fonts. The upgraded version 5.0 now supports the installation of CID fonts in testing.
The software and hardware environment required by the software Color Proof software recommends using a P4 1.0GHz or higher computer with more than 256MB of memory, and Screen Proof software recommends a P42.0GHz or higher dual-processor computer with more than 512MB of memory. Both types of software require the computer to be idle USB port and CD or DVD drive. The system software requirements are Windows 2000 Server and Windows XP Server. The Design Edition software runs on MAC and requires OS X.
The operating interface of the software Best has its own translation company in Germany, specializing in the translation of the software interface into various languages. Therefore, the Best Color color management software is finished in Chinese, and the operating interface is in Chinese, which is convenient for domestic users.
Software parameter adjustment Best Color color management software has been continuously improved and updated, it has its own characteristics in color adjustment. Color Proof and Screen Proof software complete the adjustment of the printing device through the steps of adjusting the total ink volume, single-channel ink volume, forming the printer's basic linearity, paper white adjustment, and basic linearity verification. The previous versions of Color Proof and Screen Proof software are more cumbersome to do these tasks, and some of the values ​​need to be completed by the experience of the regulator and the knowledge of color, which will inevitably cause the color caused by different people's understanding. deviation. The current version 5.0 turns these tasks into software and calculates through measurement, reducing the deviation caused by human factors. When making adjustments, the operator only needs to follow the software prompt to perform the "next step" operation and perform "print- "Measure-reprint-remeasure ...".
On this basis, Best Color also launched another optional plug-in software package with extended functions-Best Premium, which is a combination of software and hardware products, including Colormanager, Remoteproof and Best Eye. Best Eye is a portable spectrophotometer that can be used in conjunction with Colormanager to generate ICC Profile files, and it can also be used in conjunction with Remoteproof as a quality control tool. Color Proof and Screen Proof software are used in conjunction with the Best Premium software package, which greatly enhances their functions. It can not only generate printer linearity and printer profile files (ICC Profile files) in color management software, but also generate printing profiles without the need for third parties. The combined use of software avoids the slight deviation of data caused by different software. In addition, the Best Premium software package can do automatic closed-loop correction, that is, it can "close infinitely".
Another feature worth mentioning in the Best Premium software package is that when making two adjustments to the printer's line shape and plate compensation curve, it will correspond to 0 points and 100 points to become adjustable, which is not available in previous versions. It makes fine adjustments more accurate. However, the Best Premium software package can only be used in combination with Color Proof and Screen Proof software, and requires printed samples to be more accurate, including solid density, dot expansion, and even ink color during printing.
As a low-end product of Design Edition software, its adjustment function is not as powerful as the above two software. It has fixed some profile files (ICC Profile files) in the software for users to choose, and cannot generate or call the user's own profile files. , At the same time, it can not use the profile file generated and used in Color Proof and Screen Proof software.
The software has adjusted the spot colors. Best Color has been certified by PANTONE. The color values ​​of the PANTONE spot colors are embedded in the Color Proof and Screen Proof software. At the same time, it can be judged whether the spot color exists in the software, and the name of the spot color corresponds to the PANTONE color, and print it out after finding the corresponding color value. But there is no good solution for gold and silver.
The software's remote proofing function In the Best Screen Proof software, you can select the "export" item to print the file and the corresponding printer linearity, profile file, printing profile file, color patch used for measurement and Lab value of the color patch after local measurement Once a file is generated, it can be transferred to another place for printing. Of course, this alone is not enough. Both a local and a remote place need a photometer-Best Eye, which is used to measure the Lab value of the color patch and calculate the color difference ΔE value. For users who choose the Best Premium software package, remote proofing is more convenient and reliable. In the Best Premium software package, an adjustment tool is added to ensure the color consistency of two or more printers, so as to ensure the color consistency when remote proofing or collaboration of multiple printers. Design Edition software does not support remote proofing now.
Price range Best Color color management software supports different printers of different formats, and the prices are different. The version that generally supports large-format printers can support small-format printers at the same time, otherwise it is not. Users can choose software according to their needs. In addition, a set of software can only support one printer to work, and cannot support several printers to print at the same time using different adjustment curves. The price of each version of the software is:
The price of Color Proof XL is about ï¿¥ 20000. The price of Color Proof XXL is about ï¿¥ 30,000. Screen Proof 4UP is about ï¿¥ 38,000. Screen Proof 8UP is about ï¿¥ 48,000. Best Premium is about ï¿¥ 38,000. Design Edition is ï¿¥ 8,000. Around Yuan.
Summary From the above introduction, the characteristics of Best Color color management software are: the software color adjustment function is powerful, most of the work is calculated and generated by the software based on the measurement results, reducing the color differences caused by different personnel experience and understanding of color, and It has certain advantages in remote proofing. The Best Premium software package is more convenient to use with the software, and the print quality is better, but the requirements for printing proofs will be higher. Therefore, when printing proofs and comparing proofs, users are required to print the equipment, materials, environment and other factors. control. For Design Edition software, there are few adjustable links, it is a low-end product, and the price is relatively low, we will temporarily call it "a powerful MAC print driver".
Successful case Best Color color management software has entered China in the 1990s and has been adopted by many domestic companies. Its manufacturers are not only the offset printing industry, but also the gravure printing industry, among which the more well-known enterprises are: Beijing Yachang Color Printing, Beijing Ribang Printing Co., Ltd., Dongguan Yuncheng Plate Making Company, etc.
