Color proofing systems

[Kim Baer]

We are looking for a new color proofing system> most important criteria: quick production, accurate color (G7) single page format is fine. What are the proofers that are being used.

What do you have for proofing now? What is your production workflow?

Yes that is a good choice for a printer, but without a front end it's not a proofer. Likely the best options for that will be from GMG, CGS-ORIS or EFI, depending on your needs.

we are using an out of dated epson and we need to get new equipment since we are seeing more high end projects. We are trying to find a smaller more cost effective option other than a full wide format

we use a 4900 with a fiery XF front end. We have had oris in the past- like both.

Not to hijack the thread, but I am currently using Oris and find the interface to be super clunky and over complicated. I've used EFI in the past and found it much more sleek and intuitive. What are your thoughts?

Well, I am glad that I found this thread.

I currently work for CGS (Oris Color Tuner), and would be happy to show you our software Kim.

schenkadere, I hate to hear that you find our software "Super Clunky" and would be happy to help you with any issues you might be having. I can be reached directly at [email protected]

Hope you all have a great Day!

The color tuner I think was setup a little different and in 09 ish when I used it, it was not as clean as the Fiery XF workflow. But I think the refining or optimizing seemed easier in the color tuner - but that maybe me looking through rose colored glasses
