EPSON Pro7500 Direct Digital Proofing

In recent years, with the rising tide of digitalization, digital proofing has gradually become one of the hot technologies attracting attention. However, in people's enthusiastic discussions, it is not difficult for people who are attentive to find that the existence of color management software is not perfect, and the high cost of consumables is hampering the application and development of digital proofing in the printing industry. For most of the printers, digital proofing is still just "clouds in the moon, fog in the flowers," is elusive.

As one of the most famous equipment suppliers in the field of printers in the world, EPSON has been dedicated to the application and marketing of EPSON printers in the field of digital proofing for several years. In order to enhance the user's understanding of the EPSON series of printers and to test the actual application effects of the equipment, by the end of 2000, EPSON had specially planned a trial activity. In the field of printing, the application of the EPSON Pro7500 in digital proofing is the main purpose of the trial. After careful selection, the color printing branch of Beijing Foreign Language Printing Factory became the client unit of this trial activity. From December 2000 to January 2001, they rigorously tested the practical application of the EPSON Pro7500 in the digital realm.

According to Yu Ming, deputy director of color printing plant of Beijing Foreign Language Printing Factory, after the EPSON Pro7500 entered the factory, they first selected several representative samples of their experimental samples, such as character photos, landscape paintings, oil paintings, Chinese paintings, and ancient architecture. Photographs, etc., for the first test. Compared with the printed proofs, they believe that the digital proofs made with the EPSON Pro7500 performed well in the difficult proofing work of the character's skin color, the level of landscape painting, the texture of the oil painting, the Chinese ink painting, and the subtlety of ancient architecture. The proof effect is close to the print and can be used as a proof of printing.

Lou Ming said that he had previously participated in numerous digital proofing seminars and live demonstrations. The color of digital proofs is not ideal, and there is a large gap between printing and printing. The key to this problem lies in the fact that the colors used in the digital proofing equipment are not the same as the ink composition. It is difficult to achieve the effect of printed materials. However, the EPSON Pro7500 performed very well this time.

After experimenting with EPSON Pro7500 with experimental proofs, the color printing branch of a foreign language printing factory began to put digital proofing into production practice to understand the acceptance of digital proofs by customers. The EPSON Pro7500 was first used in practical applications and was used in the proofing work of Photographic Magazine. In order to give the customer an intuitive comparison, the color printing factory will provide the customer with the traditional proofs and digital proofs, and the customer is completely acceptable. EPSON Pro7500 was put into production practice for the second time in the proofing work of “Outstanding Works of Contemporary Young People in China”, and the EPSON Pro7500 was used to output substitutes for some proofs that used to have problems in the traditional proofing process. The customers also expressed that they were completely acceptable. The EPSON Pro7500 was used for practice for the third time in the color printing factory. It was used to proofread the poster "Let the world be filled with light." This practice completely uses digital proofing instead of traditional proofing. The customer has no objection.

Talking about the performance of EPSON Pro7500 in the actual production of digital proofing, Han Ming said, I am concerned about the long time of digital proofing, and also contacted some digital proofing equipment. But this is the first time I feel that digital proofing is good and can be put into practice. in production. This is undoubtedly the best evaluation of EPSON Pro7500 in the field of digital proofing.

When asked about the significance of EPSON Pro7500's trial success in the field of digital proofing, Han Ming said that the importance of digital proofing lies in the cooperation with direct platemaking and promotes the development of direct platemaking. Without digital proofing, direct platemaking is difficult to develop. Because digital proofing has not been perfected before and customers are unwilling to accept it, direct platemaking has not been promoted. Foreign language printing is an example. The performance of EPSON Pro7500 in digital proofing trials proves that it is sufficient to meet the actual production needs of printing. This paved the way for the promotion of direct platemaking technology. Of course, Sheng Ming also believes that the current EPSON Pro7500 has not yet reached the perfect level, digital proofing generally has the problem of high costs. At present, EPSON is collaborating with related parties on this matter and strives to provide users with third-party media. The problem of high cost of solution seems to be just around the corner.
