A Case Study of X-Rite Printing in Yutong

The powerful function of IntelliTrax keeps the 4+color printing machine in a stable state all the time

YUTO has long-term experience in using CIP4 and JDF data, and now it has matched Heidelberg printing presses with Heidelberg CTP, and now the joint application of CIP4 and JDF data has greatly benefited YUTO. It is worth mentioning that in the process of close integration of the two processes, IntelliTrax exerts powerful software and hardware functions, thus making the entire printing process more effective with less effort.

Liang Yongjun mentioned that IntelliTrax is very suitable for monitoring the status of the entire printing system in terms of application modules: editor (creating and editing printing machines, ribbons, targets, project templates, etc.); printing tools (creating new jobs and editing them) Scan, measure, and display the obtained data graphically on the interface; or call the existing working scan measurement data), and there are database management tools in the module. All that is needed for stability.

In addition, IntelliTrax can support a closed-loop system. The principle is to convert the CIP3 ppf files generated before printing into XML layout ink level information and PNG thumbnails and pre-ink through DI-plot conversion engine, Inkzone perfect, Inkzone loop and other software. The data file is obtained through ITX scanning, and the ink is released after the curve is optimized, and the cycle is continuous; IntelliTrax can also be connected to the Presssign software to obtain the suggested value of ink volume adjustment in the entire ink area and the plate compensation curve based on 4CX.

X-Rite's excellent testing capabilities help Yutong quickly realize color standardization

Compared with portable single-point measuring instruments, IntelliTrax's excellent automatic scanning function can complete the printing color control bar on a typical printed page within 15 seconds, and report the measurement solution on the screen, so that the printing machine operator can quickly make adjustments, So as to obtain satisfactory results. According to Liang Yongjun, "The scanning speed of Intellitrax is astonishing. Originally, the process of measuring a single point more than a hundred times will be done in one go. At the same time, it also has the functions of measuring density and color, such as density, dot expansion, Printing contrast, gray balance, overprint, hue deviation/grayscale, chromaticity and color difference, etc., can successfully interpret the status of the entire printing machine as data display..."

At present, foreign orders have become an important source of business for Yutong, and more and more overseas customers require dialogue with measurement data. Fortunately, IntelliTrax fully supports G7 proof-to-print proofing to printing process control steps, and because it has a large number of new G7 adaptability features, users can easily perform color detection on G7 specified targets, and display charts to show The performance of the G7 target. Remember: It can indicate that changes are required to ensure target ink usage is achieved and provides a full G7 compliance report. It can be seen that IntelliTrax's assistance to the G7 process must be meticulous.

What's more worth mentioning is that the new version of IntelliTrax can also enable the detection of P2P targets into the IDEALink Curve software provided by the International Digital Enterprise Alliance (IDEAlliance) to utilize the professional ICC mode. So, with the help of IntelliTrax, YUTO can print according to GRACoL G7 or ISO standard.

For printing companies, mastering the correct quality control methods and selecting quality inspection tools are the initial and important choices, and the IntelliTrax automatic color measurement solution is a classic inspection equipment that must be mentioned. IntelliTrax not only made it possible for Yutong to provide full color management and monitoring, but also greatly reduced the process of color measurement.
