Before you start your press, the CIP or TIFF files of your job from prepress will provide all the information that IntelliSet needs to automatically preset the ink keys, saving time and money. A press operator simply chooses the print job and paper type on the touch-screen monitor and IntelliSet does the rest. No more manual adjustments at the press console.
Once you start a job, your press operator scans the color bar of a press sheet to get spectral and density data and IntelliLoop does all the rest. Your press operator will not have to manually adjust ink keys. During the press run, periodic scans of the color bar feed color data into IntelliLoop. The software will let the press operator know if there are any auto-adjustements needed to keep color consistent. IntelliLoop gets you to color fast, every time.
