Star Proof is an innovative proofing solution with the power to produce 200lpi contract proofs on inkjet printers - quickly and economically. With its Actual Dot system to replicate original screening and dot patterns at proofing resolutions, Star Proof delivers top quality proofs with hard dot, sharp images, accurate colour and fine detail - just as they will appear on the press. And with ROOM proofing architecture, to resample the same set of high resolution separations that are sent to the plate setter/image setter, Star Proof ensures data integrity between proof and print. Star Proof digital proofing software is a revolution in Proofing for the Pre-Press Industry. It provides the ability to resample high-res, pre-separated, screened bitmap plates from the RIP, into a colour-calibrated contract proof. It provides a RIP Once Output Many workflow, to ensure total data integrity between client sign-off and final press prints. No more surprises with text reflows, font errors, OPI faults, trapping and other PostScript™ oddities which cause costly re-runs for the printer, and delays for the print buyer. For many years ,the prepress industry has been looking for a digital proofing solution to correct errors in pages before final output to film or plate. Most of the digital proofing solutions come with their own PostScript™ RIP, with colour management systems for small or large format printers. These solutions require the composite PostScript™ pages to be first sent to the proofer RIP to produce the digital proof. After a confirmation proof is produced, these pages have to be re-sent as a separated PostScript™ files to a totally different RIP, which sends the Hi-Resolution data to a imagesetter or platesetter. This multiple RIPping with different RIPs, generates two totally different results. Both the ‘Digital Proof’ and the ‘Final Print’ wil definitely NOT match. Text reflows, font errors, OPI faults, trapping and other PostScript™ odd problems are common. This dilemma of two different RIPs is simply overcome by Star Proof.
