You must have the Printlink license for the output format that you need.
If you have the license, then you can check the printlink operation in a output template for generate the PPF/CIP3. This option probably is more expensive but it is more integrated in the workflow.
If you haven´t the license there are systems that they can generate CIP3 from the information of the VPS files.

Correct. Ink coverage information can be calculated from VPS too. You need a press interface to transfer this information to a console. There are companies offering the system. Visi Printflow s.r.o_Anglicky for more details.

That´s O.K. However most older presses do not have press interface ready to accept PPF format data. In order to preset ink fountains they need to invest either in a press interface from a press manufacturer or a company that produces alternative press interfaces to those from press manufacturers. Printflow is one alternative.

Dot gain is not directly related to ink volume.
Do you have a rational for saying dot gain correction is used?

Curious to understand your approach.

Correct, for older presses, InkReady prints a detailed report with a complete details to do the make ready. No needs to configure complex software, cables, cards, etc.

Yes but that´s just ink coverage information. This information (according to our experience) should be optimized for a press which ink fountains are to be preset as well as paper and ink so that it would help printers presetting as accurate as possible. A press interface allows printers almost an automatic ink preset which significantly saves makeready time.

We have clash of sales managers here .. . btw, "optimization" as PrintFlow does /or should we rather write InkZone? / is little bit coarse ... weak price/performance ratio for today's challenging times. Just my opinion (but based on real experiences).

The test to see if a presetting system works well would be to start the press and see if it can go to the density target ranges without the operator or a closed loop control system make any ink adjustments . If the system is not able to do that, it is not capable and the people who designed the system do not understand the problem.
