Ink Presetting
XTREME INKING (X-INK) is the latest software available for automatically calculating the ink density values and sending that digital information to the press.
The benefit of XTREME INKING is its ability to save you the time and money that is normally wasted at the start of each press run, waiting for a quality page to print. This software achieves the quickest possible start time by utilizing the same data used to make the plates and sharing it with the Press Control System. In addition, the return on investment for this system is notable, especially during times of escalating paper prices. |
