The latest Gartner releases alert us to a significant increase of
smartphone sales. That means content has never been as accessible as it
is nowadays. But in an era of mobile content overload, which content
(app) makes it to the first screen? Publishers who are developing
cross-media selling proposition need to worry how they can gain/keep top
of screen awareness with their critical readers. Channeling the content
will prove crucial. Print, online, digital, social, you name it. Which
means you have to make it scalable. An essential detail publishers of
all sorts understand but too well. Why? Scalability allows for tailored
dissemination. In the war for retaining the mobile reader’s attention, a
strategic content approach will win the battles.

Press Release
Colorware presents:
Color management for Print “Easy to use and device independent Color management”
–
Optimize your color quality performance of any printing process
Colorware launches
MeasureColor 16 end-to-end color management solution
Wassenaar (The Netherlands), april 2016 – The best user interface in the world of color management just got better. Colorware introduces MeasureColor 16, an easy to use device independent color management tool for any print process and any type of user.
Print quality can be measured and improved without wasting time or material. MeasureColor 16 was built by the developers of Colorware to optimize color management and save make-ready time. MeasureColor 16 is the successor of Colorware’s worldwide implemented color management solution PressView. The software is highly acclaimed for its intuitive user interface. With the introduction of MeasureColor 16 this functionality has become even better.
Although there is first class and complex technology under the hood, working with MeasureColor 16 is incredibly easy. The software has a bespoke user interface for every type of user, based on integrated user profiles. The user has access to all the functionality and data, however, only relevant information is displayed on the screen based on this user profile. This concept makes working with MeasureColor 16 easy for everyone, whether you are an operator or a quality manager.
Color management specialist and Colorware CTO Erik Koldenhof: “In the past we have successfully eliminated all the guesswork in the color management process. Now you can save even more time by diving straight into the user interface and get to work. We have listened carefully to the feedback of our users and made many adjustments to the software and its usability. We want to make working with MeasureColor 16 as easy as possible.”
Open quality standards
MeasureColor 16 is a network based solution. All data is stored on the user’s own server, which makes analysis very simple and prevents any discussion about ownership of the data. Data can be shared with any other color management solution in the market. It can be exported to a variety of formats for use in other external applications and systems. Also PantoneLIVE, the cloud based custom color library, is fully integrated.
MeasureColor 16 can now also be connected to management information systems and ERP systems. This makes it possible to automatically create jobs in MeasureColor 16.
MeasureColor 16 supports open standards and tightly integrates with print quality management solutions. It also supports all the industry leading spectrophotometers, which makes it easy to implement in an existing working environment. Erik Koldenhof: “Colorware is a developer of device independent software. We strongly believe that our customers will benefit from open quality standards. Our software is built to support those standards now and in the future.”
No more guesswork
MeasureColor 16 uses Colorware’s ChromaTrack technology which is the perfect solution to avoid unnecessary discussions or guesswork. When on press color matching turns out to be problematic, MeasureColor 16 gives a clear overview, both visually and in writing, of the causes of the problem and how to solve it. If the instructions indicate that a different ink is needed data can be directly exported to any ink formulation system. To prevent errors from occurring twice the information is stored in the database and presented in the case of a repeat order.
Colorware will be at Drupa. Meet us in Hall 7 stand D18 at the Drupa Innovation Parc

Op drupa laat fabrikant MBO zien dat stackers een onmisbare schakel zijn in afwerking. Het komt met een aantal nieuw modellen die eenvoudiger in te stellen zijn en gekoppeld kunnen worden met een brede range afwerkings apparatuur. Lees meer over deze nieuwe modellen in het onderstaand persbericht.
A finishing system can only run as fast as the operator can handle the finished product, making delivery system technology absolutely vital to the entire finishing process. This is why the MBO Group has developed a number of new delivery systems engineered specifically to make the operator’s job easier. Several new delivery systems will be unveiled at Drupa 2016 including…
A10 Log Stacker – Paired with the LeMans and Monza folding systems, the A10 Log Stacker makes it easy for operators to handle high-volume signature production at high-speeds by bundling signatures together in an easy to handle log. Its intuitive design and automated features make the A10 extremely operator friendly – so much so that one operator could effectively manage two finishing systems equipped with the A10 Log Stacker. For these reasons and more, A10 Log Stacker is the ideal delivery system for printers running high-volume signature work.
A700 Automated Stacker – Configured at Drupa inline with the M80 Flexible Folding System, the A700 Delivery is a highly versatile delivery system ideal for signatures, direct mail, and any number of commercial finishing applications. The Alpha Series is a line of automated stacking delivery systems equipped with automatic format recognition, automated sheet ejection, and an ergonomically designed delivery table for easy access and product handling. Thanks to MBO’s modular approach to finishing, the Alpha Series is compatible with many different finishing modules.
A7-Digital Signature Stacking Delivery – The A7-Digital Signature Stacking Delivery was designed specifically for the digital finishing market and is ideal for book block or signature applications. By spot gluing along the spine, the A7-Digital delivers glued book blocks that maintain integrity when being handled in subsequent processes. Drupa attendees will be able to see the A7-Digital delivery inline with the K8-RS Digital Book, Magazine, and Catalog Web Finishing System.
