Co-op Color

Tools of the trade

Though Screen USA has sold the majority of its color management technology to commercial printers, Marketing Specialist Yukiyoshi Tanaka confirms, "[LabFit and LabProof] tools are fit for any package printers who print good quality color."

Actually, both LabFit, the CMS, and LabProof, a proofing system, are bundled together under Screen's prepress and print quality management suite, P2QM. LabFit generates ICC profiles for all the fluctuating conditions in a printing environment. The LabFit Builder color-measures printed sheets in four minutes, by utilizing the company's 85-patch color control bar, while the Editor provides fine-tuning of color, and the ability to edit ICC profiles generated by other applications.
