CostView, from French RIP developer Caldera Graphics, is the “ultimate” dashboard for a manager who is sensitive to production costs, said ColourProcess marketing manager Rebecca Saffir.
The accolades for CostView have been flowing – it is a three-time award winner of the DPI Best Product of the Year Award in Business Management Software.
The web-driven interface can be accessed by any user in a company network using a simple web browser, and is now available for iPad. The latest edition, CostView 3.0, includes the ability to track the carbon dioxide emissions of each job.
“With the ongoing debate over the carbon tax in Australia, and other countries also seeking to reduce their carbon output, we’re sure this new feature will be appreciated by anyone looking to improve the economic and ecological efficiency of their business,” said Safir.
Meanwhile, another ColourProcess product, PSD-Check is shaping up as a hot new product for the vendor.
Managing director Yves Roussange told the Daily that the device-independent compliance tool would enable printers to match ISO-coated-v2 to a draft of the new digital standard, ISO 15311-2.
Roussange, a member of Fogra’s digital working group, is involved in drafting ISO 15311-2, which will be released in its final form in three years.
Meanwhile, ColourProcess has also used PrintEx to run a roadshow with Enfocus Software to offer printers a glimpse of their automation software.
The free breakfast seminars aimed to demonstrate products that show “the potential for automation to increase profitability and print productivity” within the printing industry.
