Crear películas sin productos químicos
DESTACADOS
- Creación de películas rasterizadas con impresoras de inyección de tinta
- Sin exposición ni revelado: no se necesitan productos químicos
- Minimiza los pasos de trabajo
- Los mejores resultados hasta 70 líneas por centímetro / 180 lpi
Con Filmgate y la impresora de inyección de tinta adecuada, puede crear películas para flexografía, offset o serigrafía, ¡sin productos químicos!
¿Sabía que con determinadas impresoras de chorro de tinta puede imprimir fácilmente películas de medios tonos, en lugar de exponerlas y revelarlas? Este proceso ahorra equipos, mano de obra y productos químicos, y consigue resultados impresionantes de hasta 70 líneas por centímetro o 180 lpi.
Su archivo de impresión (PDF compuesto/X-4, X-5 o PDF separado) se imprime como trama de su elección gracias a nuestra innovadora tecnología:
- Trama personalizada: seleccione libremente el ángulo, la anchura y la forma de los puntos de la trama
- Super Rosette 2: crea puntos de trama homogéneos y de bordes nítidos
- Pantalla de frecuencia: Rejilla FM con tamaño de punto ajustable
- Pantalla híbrida 2: combina las ventajas de las pantallas AM y FM
Nuestra tecnología MIM simplifica el trabajo utilizando combinaciones predefinidas de soporte, tinta y metamodos. La solución admite cualquier número de colores planos, cuyos ajustes de pantalla pueden seleccionarse individualmente. El material de película adecuado está disponible directamente en ColorGATE.
Detalles Técnicos
Funciones Básicas
Various separation options
- Automatic creation of CMYK separations
- Conversion of embedded spot colors into CMYK separations
- Automatic deactivation of all separations except for black (K) for composite files so that only the black plate is printed
- Creation of separated print jobs from each separation of a file
- Transformation of each separation into a negative output; info text, cut marks and registration marks will also be printed inversely
ICC color management for separation creation
- Separation creation based on selectable or embedded CMYK ICC profiles
- Selectable rendering intents for RGB to CMYK conversions
Media-Ink-Metamode (MIM)
- ColorGATE development to create production-influencing parameters such as medium (M), ink (I) and metamode (M); every MIM combination links profile, linearization and print mode settings into a single logical unit
- MIM administration: import, export, administration and processing of MIM combinations
16-Bit Color Rendering
For a higher color accuracy and smooth gradientsLinearization adjustment
- Ink level adjustment, if necessary adding ink for density adaption of screen printing films
- Ink reduction curves for variable adjustment of the ink values to tonal values
- Adjustment of the linearization of screen separations via densitometric (% dot) measurements
- Linearization per channel, includes the dot gain limitation
- Optimization of linearization through multiple output and measurement of the calibration target; each with recalculation of the linearization curve
Various options for color correction
- Correction of brightness, contrast and gamma
- Gradation curves
- Separate or simultaneous channel processing possible
Dot gain correction
- Correction of the dot gain up to +/- 40% for all or single separations or calculation of tonal value curves from a given ICC profile
Redirect printheads
- Print data redirection of a color to any available print head
- For special film printers which are charged with multiple K cartridges, the active print head can be selected
Display of color information (Color Picker)
- CMYK percentage values displayed in full screen preview
- Measured color can be replaced
Selection of various screens
- Custom Screen: free definition of screen angles, dot forms and line resolutions

Various preview functions
- Separations preview: single separated colors of a job in grayscale or process colors
- Full color preview: Colored job preview in composite mode (merging of all separations)
- Output preview of the separation arrangement on the print medium
- Document view, placement on output media, rotated view, full screen preview
- Thumbnail: job thumbnails, display of job properties
Definition of a fixed stencil size

Loading of media size (printer-dependent)
- Available for e.g. HP-DesignJet-Z series, Roland AJ, FP, VP, XC, XJ and various Epson Stylus Pro printers
- Automatic or manual
Confidence strip
- Printing of a confidence strip with the color channels used to ensure a consistent printout
- Different positions and sizes possible
Various scaling options
- Proportional/non-proportional scaling in height, width, percent
- Automatic scaling to media size
- Visual scaling: proportional scaling by means of a distance tool
Copy and layout print
- Job repetetion, multiple output with only one RIP process, last row filling (better media utilization)
- Device handled creation of multi-copies, in which the parameters are transferred from the RIP to the device controller (printer-dependent)
Cropping
Definition of print areasRotate and mirror
- Rotate in 90° steps
- Jobs can be rotated space-optimized, even automatically
Offset and centering
- Horizontal/vertical offset adjustment
- Centering on sheets and rolls
Cut marks and registration marks
- Printing of cut and registration marks

- Freely defineable formatting settings, e.g. position, font type, size and color
Interpolation for raster files
- Various setting options for interpolating raster files such as TIFF, JPEG, etc.
- Options: Nearest neighbour, Bilinear, Bicubic, Bicubic sharp
Replacement of missing fonts
Detection of missing fonts and optional replacement with CourierMedia compensation
Compensation of length and width deviations in the output formatJobInfoLog (monitoring of job processing)
Monitoring/logging of job processing, display of job- and event-related information, of print time, print speed and print area, warning e.g. of missing fontsVarious options for job processing

Requisitos del sistema
System requirements
Operating systems (64-Bit):
Minimum hardware requirements:
Recommended for using one printer:
Recommended for using multiple printers:
Installation and operation:
USB port for hardware dongle required; LAN adapter, TCP/IP for network access required, software-based licenses require internet access (the software must connect to license server approximately once per day)Supported interfaces (depending on used printers, measuring devices and cutting plotters):
Ethernet, TCP/IP, USB, FireWireUse in virtualized environments:
Software based licenses:
Operation of the ColorGATE software on virtual machines is not permitted with software based licenses.
Hardware based licenses ("hardware dongle"):
If the virtualization solution supports USB, ColorGATE software can usually be operated with hardware based licenses. Please note, however, that ColorGATE cannot provide support for problems that occur in the context of the virtualization solution. There may be restrictions when printers, measuring devices or cutting plotters are connected via USB. In addition, the hardware requirements must be exclusively available as resources for the virtual machine to ensure a high-performance operation of the software. For these reasons, we recommend using virtualized environments for testing purposes only.
