Better colour – faster

The DocuColor

8080 Digital Press features our Automated Colour Quality Suite (ACQS)

with its inline spectrophotometer that lets you transform time into profit, increase quality
and consistency – and become an indispensable partner to your customers. It is designed
with built-in process automation to deliver colour accuracy and repeatability from job to job,
operator to operator or across multiple devices quickly and easily while increasing productivity
and available press time.

One Spectrophotometer, multiple productivity enhancements

At the heart of the DocuColor 8080 Digital Press – and our image quality enhancement
tools – is an internal, inline spectrophotometer. Our Automated Colour Quality Suite (ACQS) is
a set of colour management tools that uses the data from the spectrophotometer to improve
colour accuracy and repeatability. By placing the advanced spectrophotometer inside the
paper path and automating processes like calibration, spot colour calibration and profiling,
the DocuColor 8080 Digital Press dramatically streamlines workflow and increases total
productivity.

Spot Colour – simple to set up

Customers running applications such as marketing collaterals and direct mail are sensitive to
spot colour consistency for logos or corporate colour standards and for many, repeatability
is as critical as, or even more important than accuracy. The Xerox

FreeFlow

Print Server

performs Spot Colour Calibration to fine tune spot colours to official (PAnTOne

licensed)

reference aims, within a user-specified level of quality. It automatically reads print engine data
and modifies the CMYK recipe for each spot colour to minimise the colour difference with the
reference value to deliver quality output that is spot-on.

Advanced Profiling – all at the touch of a button

Advanced Profiling automatically creates a superior, custom ICC-compliant Destination Profile
for colour critical applications such as photos that require a high degree of colour accuracy and
detail as well as a pleasing appearance. It maps RGB and CMYK source images to a desired
press-like output – making it easier to emulate source colour spaces and produce a more
accurate colour. Advanced Profiling can render to industry colour standards, such as Fogra and
GRACoL for outstanding colour.

Auto-calibration

Leveraging the inline spectrophotometer
that is integrated into the paper path,
we can reduce time-consuming manual
colour maintenance tasks and make
them one-button operator functions
that deliver exceptional image quality
consistently. By generating colour
patches on target sheets, registering
the sheets so the patches are read
accurately, processing the data and
taking the appropriate actions, we
reduce downtime and automate labour-
intensive colour maintenance tasks. By
streamlining calibration tasks, we help
reduce non-productive printer time and
facilitate quick, on-time job turnaround.
The FreeFlow Print Server delivers even
more productivity. By allowing for
automated scheduling, we shift operator
time from maintenance of colour to
production, eliminating any potential
human error and allowing operators to
focus on running print jobs.
