The new product is a press quality assurance system to evaluate the printing press and enable compliance to industry standards quickly and efficiently.
The new CGS product, displayed last month at Graph Expo, is a valuable measurement tool for the graphics industry including ad agencies, print buyers, colour separators and printers.
ORIS Certified Press is designed to evaluate press parameters – tone value increase, ink uniformity, grey balance and primary colour densities – and offer comprehensive intelligence on its findings in an easy-to-understand report.
This report provides clear 'out of tolerance' indicators and vital information about the action needed to correct press errors.
ORIS Certified Press received positive reviews from its beta customers, one of whom was German-based Weiss-Druck. This printing company is part of The Weiss Group, an organisation comprised of 30 businesses in the printing, printed media and media services industries throughout Germany.
"I don’t know of any other software solution that provides the level of information that the CGS product does," says Thomas Hilgers, prepress manager at Weiss-Druck, Monschau, Germany.
"ORIS Certified Press enables us to measure press quality very precisely and comply with industry standards, like FOGRA. The product is easy to use and can be adapted quickly.
"By using ORIS Certified Press, printers can improve their process controls in very short time."
ORIS Certified Press precisely measures a series of colour patches in control strips to quickly and easily measure and display compliance to today’s industry standards.
Additional benefits include control of spot colors. All measurements are stored and can be recalled to depict trends in press condition over the job or over time.
ORIS Certified Press supports scanners such as X-Rite Eye-One Spectrophotometer and Techkon Scan Spectrometer RS 800.
DES is the authorised reseller for ORIS in Australia.
