By working with a fixed set of inks the printer reduces downtime and optimises production
Belgium-based pre-press specialist Athena Graphics has added Esko Equinox to its portfolio to complete its Advanced Prepress workflow, an end-to-end solution for brand owners and packaging printers.
Esko Equinox creates colour conversions for extended gamut printing and eliminates the need for spot colours, making production faster, more efficient, cost effective and reliable.
Kenneth Hostyn, technical project manager at Athena Graphics said, ‘Packaging printers and brand owners have become used to digital print, which uses a fixed set of printing colours. With our Advanced Prepress technology we can obtain the same and even better quality by using process colours instead of spot colours. By converting spot colours into process colours, our customers can increase their production speed and even improve their quality.’
Esko Equinox can convert almost any spot colour into four to seven process colours. By working with a fixed set of inks the printer reduces downtime of the presses and optimises production time.
Mr Hostyn conculded, ‘One of the most important reasons to choose Equinox is the ability to automate colour conversions. By automating the process we eliminate human errors and we can optimise production. Esko Equinox perfectly closes the gap with outstanding colour conversion. It was just the tool we were looking for.’
