1. Where we can use Equinox: it's useful when you combine jobs that have much spot color. You don't need to change ink every job. And the job that have more inks than the printing machine.

2. Competitor: Heidelberg with Multicolor, GMG with OpenColor, Kokak. But Equinox is the most common.

3. To perform multicolor job with Equinox you need to have Equinox software that making multicolor profiles. Equinox plug in for Artpro or Packedge to convert spot color to Multicolor profile. And Photoshop plugin for convert image to Multicolor profile.

I am looking for experiences to perform Multicolor job. Hope we can share and learn together.

I have some years in Equinox, if I had the chance to choose again I will with Equinox, but only with Equinox + Equinox for Automation Engine.

Hi bbertolani, I'm interested to know how you would use Equinox with Automation Engine? Which features you would automate etc.

hi

Hi baa76
Automation has a module that automatically converts the colors based on the profile created in Color Engine.
Of course that in my scenario I had a least 100 artworks to convert every day and took too much time doing manually

Hi,

The best solution is Heidelberg Multicolor you can convert and run your maximum spot color jobs without washup.
