Unit-by-unit ink key preview

On screen confirmation of intended ink duct settings for every separation

Colour-by-colour ink key calibration

Individual ink duct adjustment curves for each colour ensure Press Profiler understands how your actual press works with each ink so it can adjust the ducts for more accurate presetting

Multiple calibration curves and setups for multiple presses or different stock/ink combinations

Press Profiler can apply different adjustments to the ink duct data for different target presses or papers for accurate presetting in all your printing scenarios

Colour-by-colour ink sweep (dwell) calibration

Press Profiler automatically adjusts opening of overall ink sweep (dwell or ductor setting) for each unit providing more accurate ink presetting for your actual press
