ES-2000 is used to measure the media white point.
In addition, the feature does the following:
• Allows the user to fine-tune the hue, brightness and saturation of the simulated paper.
• Downloads a custom CMYK Simulation Profile with the white point edit.
Benefits:
Allows users to adjust the paper simulation values of the CMYK Simulation Profiles to simulate a paper white different from the
true paper white of the source profile.
Enables users to create custom paper simulations to match the paper white point of special media that can be stored and reused
for specific customers and/or applications.
Increases efficiency when combined with Halftone Simulation, allowing operators to color manage both the white point and the
halftone dot — particularly useful for shops that proof newsprint jobs.
Postflight
Postflight is the process of analyzing processed files — PostScript, PDF, DCS2 and others — for quality control in a digital prepress
workflow. EFI PostFlight is a perceptive utility that enables operators to troubleshoot previous problems with the color of a printed job or to
use it as a preventative measure. Either way, the original document may be printed (or RIPped and previewed) with all objects (e.g.,
graphics and text) color coded. The color coding is explained in an appended report that describes which color spaces are used in the job
and what job options affect those spaces. The report also provides information about the print environment, such as calibration date and
time as well as calibration method. Users may also print a test page to verify the condition of the print environment.
Operators can easily use Postflight from the driver.
Benefits:
Decreases the amount of time an operator has to spend troubleshooting jobs, increasing efficiency and maximizing profitability
for the print operation.
Reduces the learning curve by teaching operators the effects of job-setting parameters, making it useful as a training tool.
Progressives
Progressives refer to printing variations of a multicolor document, where pages are printed using anything from one to all of the available
color channels in a printer: C, C+M, C+M+Y and any other combination. The ability to print the various progressive combinations permits
users to inspect the result of each color plane for a four-color document. It also simulates one- and two-color presses, including the
sequence.
The EFI Progressives function is designed to show the separations used by a job on a Fiery Driven device, not the separations contained
in the print job’s source file. This feature helps operators to gain insight into how their images are composed and to better see image
breaks for troubleshooting purposes. Users can also see the influence of trapping, check the halftone interaction between two inks, verify
