Matchprint Virtual

Description

   Consistent and reliable online proofing
 
   Matchprint Virtual Technology delivers accurate and consistent on-screen color using qualified LCD monitors. It offers the benefits of monitor proofing (speed, collaboration, communication) even when proofs must be reviewed and approved for color. In addition, Matchprint Virtual Technology has been granted SWOP certification, an important industry validation for color-accurate soft proofing.

  
From file submission to final proof
 
   From concept to print, Matchprint Virtual Technology extends color process control throughout the workflow — upstream to content creation and production approvals using the Kodak Insite  Creative Workflow and the Insite Prepress Portal, and downstream to press-side proofing using Kodak Pressproof Software. Matchprint Virtual Technology reduces job cycle time by providing consistent color management across multi-monitor system configurations for effective real-time collaboration, saving on the costs of making and shipping multiple proofs.
