ORIS Global Proofing
ORIS Global Proofing from CGS provides cost-effective remote contract proofs, quality certification, electronic markup and more. Today's publishing and print production environments are increasingly global in nature. Projects often involve multiple decision makers, at widely scattered locations around the world, with ever-tightening deadlines. Contract color proofing and review must not only be accurate; they also must be nearly instantaneous.
ORIS Global Proofing is designed to make multi-site contract color proofing and review fast and dependable -- without requiring advanced color expertise at each site. Here is a brief overview of the individual components:
- ORIS Color Tuner is the world's premier contract color proofing system for high-performance inkjet devices. Winner of the 2003 GATF InterTech Award, Version 5 includes a unique AutoCalTM process that allows multiple devices -- in multiple locations, worldwide -- to be automatically aligned to a common state, without the need for subjective, costly color expertise. Advanced ORIS Color Tuner features, such as precise spot color matching, can be centrally controlled.
- ORIS Certified Proof provides simple, effective quality control for proofs generated at any location. Using a provided measurement device, anyone can scan a standard target on each proof, while the software performs a ``pass/fail`` analysis, based on SWOP, FOGRA or other specifications.
- ORIS Color Markup combines the reliability of hard copy contract proofing with the speed and flexibility of digital annotation. Using patent pending technology from Prolatus, the user uses a digitizing tablet to create an annotated PDF version of the proof, which can be quickly transmitted to a service provider for immediate action.
- With ORIS Global Proofing, soft proofing is a convenient option for off-site viewing and review. Color-accurate bitmap files are generated by the same high-end process that creates the contract ORIS Proof, which is then placed in a PDF file for annotation in Adobe Acrobat using an ORIS-certified color display also guarantees that the soft proof will match the final printed result.
ORIS Certified Proof is an easy-to-use system for verifying and tracking proof quality. It can be used for any proof, no matter which system or software was used to create it. It also allows users to define their company's color bars and quality standard. To specify the target values the user can simply load an ICC profile.
Measuring the proofing bar with the GretagMacbeth Eye-One is done in seconds. ORIS Certified Proof checks the measurement data against the standard and automatically prints the result on a label. Signed off by the operator and affixed to the proof, the label certifies that the proof meets the quality standard. All measurements and results are stored for further analysis.
ORIS Color Tuner
ORIS Color Tuner is much more than an inkjet RIP. It is a complete proofing system, combining software, high-speed proofing technology and proofing-specific ink and paper. With the ORIS Digital Proofing System, you can create contract quality proofs on affordable inkjet devices.
ORIS Color Tuner was the first system to be SWOP-certified for Epson and Canon. ORIS Color Tuner's features include selective color correction (CMYK fine tuning) to adjust for inherent inkjet behavior, as well as automatic color matching and automatic printer calibration (AutoCal), so that anyone can linearize and calibrate any output device. Spot color and CMYK are handled separately, insuring maximum proof accuracy in commercial and packaging environments.
ORIS Color Tuner color correction capabilities greatly surpass the ICC profile technology standard of digital proofers. The convenient graphic user interface allows the selection of any color value desired. In order to monitor the color value, it is displayed as a tint. Two control boxes display the original and the corrected color. In addition, the corrected percentage values and the resulting color deviation are displayed in Delta-E.
ORIS Works
A complete automation toolbox for preflight, file conversion, color management, CTP, digital print and more, ORIS Works forms the basis for the start and continuation of document-related, automatic processes.
The underlying hotfolder principle assigns a workflow station in the form of a configurable application to a directory on your hard disk -- or to any directory in the network. All of the stations of a workflow can be linked in a chain using ORIS Works.
ORIS Works establishes the start, course and result of a workflow as well as result-controlled or name-related branches. The configuration of all workflow steps is carried out with ORIS Works under a uniform user interface. In addition to this, ORIS Works allows the assignment of nearly all PC applications to a hotfolder.
Oris PDF Tuner
Oris PDF Tuner: A complete prepress editing environment for PDF and PostScript files. Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) is rapidly becoming the ``standard`` for submitting files for print. However, as customer choices for PDF creation become more complex, the potential for costly errors increases.
ORIS PDF Tuner reduces operational costs and billing disputes resulting from improperly created PDF or PostScript files, or files that fail to RIP or print correctly. ORIS PDF Tuner supplies the user with comfortable page layout and image assembly, grids for page layout, composition of geometric elements with colors, vignettes, transparencies and soft edges. The image manipulation tool leaves nothing to be desired: scaling, rotating, mirroring, copying, perspective distortion.
ORIS PDF Tuner provides extensive text setting functionality. It allows setting of text in any paths including hyphenation and the definition of global and local style sheets. Of course hyphenation supports different languages within one document. Multi-column text is realized by linking several text areas. With ORIS PDF Tuner text areas may not only be colored as tint, the user can also insert color gradations or images to which, of course, you can apply transparencies or soft edges.
