The Proof Is in the Package
As digital proofing system installations in packaging environments increase, thermal halftone and inkjet devices are finding their place—often side by side.
Inkjet or thermal? That depends.
Achieving the closest possible match between the proof and the printing press is the objective here, of course, with the larger goal of ensuring a predictable, repeatable printed result throughout the print run. Effective package proofing solutions are engineered to remove variability from the process and integrate easily with digital workflows. In addition, they will be able to accurately reproduce trap and overprint characteristics, together with the fine lines and text that are critical in package design. Inks or dyes, media, RIPs, and color management tools (whether built in or not), all play important supporting roles.
