1 Emulation Proofing for Digital Presses Your digital press should be a press - not a proofing device. Mark Samworth Color Specialist

2 ! Let s start with something slightly off topic that you could only do at the PIA color conference!

4 ? What is an Emulation Proof?

5 The Use Case for Emulation Proofing When your digital press is emulating something else and it can t emulate it perfectly Conventional Press Digital Press Proofer

25 ! The Best Way to Understand Emulation Proofing Make a Proof Using Two Separate Workflows

26 ! You Don t Need Emulation Proofing Software to Make an Emulation Proof. But is sure does help!

27 Step 1 Match Your Digital Press to Your Source Source Destination + = Raw Flexo Press Profile Raw Digital Press Profile Digital Press Emulating Flexo Press

28 3 Profiles to Create Raw Flexo Press Profile Raw Digital Press Profile Digital Press Emulating Flexo Press

29 3 Profiles to Create Raw Flexo Press Profile Raw Digital Press Profile Goal of Step 1 Digital Press Emulating Flexo Press

30 Step 2 Match Your Proof to Your Digital Press* Source Destination + = *Digital Press Emulating Flexo Press Raw Proofer Press Profile Emulation Proof

31 The Proofer Profile (same for normal or emulation proofing) Raw Proofer Profile

32 4 Total Profiles to Create 1 Raw Flexo Press Profile Raw Digital Press Profile Digital Press Emulating Flexo Press Raw Proofer Profile

33 An Emulation Proof Workflow Uses 3 Profiles 1 Raw Flexo Press Profile Raw Digital Press Profile Digital Press Emulating Flexo Press Raw Proofer Profile

34 1 Fred s Flexo Press on White Raw Flexo Press Profile Emulation Proof Workflow 2 Sue s HP Indigo Raw Digital Press Profile Sue s HP Indigo to Fred s Flexo Press Fred s Flexo Press on White 7c Sue s HP Indigo Dayton Epson P7000 Dayton Epson P7000 to Sue s HP Indigo Sue s HP Indigo Dayton Epson P7000 Raw Proofer Press Profile

36 ! Emulation Proofing is More Than Just Reducing the Number of Profiles!

37 Reduced More Measurement Profiles = More Error Measurement = Increased Color Error Accuracy Source Destination + = Raw Flexo Press Profile Raw Digital Press Profile Digital Press Emulating Flexo Press

38 1 Fred s Flexo Press on White Raw Flexo Press Profile Emulation Only Raw Proof Profiles Workflow * 2 Sue s HP Indigo 2000 Raw Digital Press Profile Sue s HP Indigo to Fred s Flexo Press Fred s Flexo Press on White 7c Sue s HP Indigo Dayton Epson P7000 Dayton Epson P7000 to Sue s HP Indigo Sue s HP Indigo Dayton Epson P7000 Raw Proofer Press Profile * No additional profiles are required. In most cases, all profiles are already made and used in normal workflows.
