CGS Publishing Technologies together with Canon Solutions America (CSA) announced the launch of their newly developed Colorlynx calibration technology. The Colorlynx is a new cloud-based profiling solution supports calibration of Canon’s imagePRESS® series of digital presses across US print shops thus providing certified files.
The companies have partnered in order to provide Canon imagepress® users with a unique solution employing CGS’ ORIS colour calibration and certification software thus enabling imagepress® operators to create accurate calibration profiles for their digital presses.
CGS’ renowned patented technology integrated in Colorlynx enables users to remotely manage single or multiple imagepress devices over a secure Internet connection with a local measurement device.
The according calibration profiles are generated by the award-winning ORIS colour calibration algorithms thus enabling highest accuracy in colour reproduction as well as highest levels of grey balance stability.
As the solution is integrated into the digital front end of the colour devices, it offers greater colour stability, reliability and consistency across the whole fleet of imagepress devices not only in one but also in remote locations. Colorlynx delivers a G7 grey balance for output and the use of its colour verification feature helps to ensure that colour accuracy is consistent. End users enjoy superior grey balance output to increase their press utilisation and reduce overall downtime due to colour inconsistency.
The US release marks the first time CGS Publishing Technologies International GmbH (CGS) and Canon Solutions America have partnered together to offer an exclusive, integrated colour solution to imagepress® customers. Every customer leasing an imagepress C7011/C6011 from the Enterprise Services and Solutions (ESS) business unit of Canon Solutions America will receive a Colorlynx subscription that will be valid for the original term of the imagepress lease, while every customer purchasing an imagePRESS C7011/C6011from the ESS business unit will receive a Colorlynx subscription valid for three years from the installation date of the imagepress.
The Colorlynx subscription includes access to the software, a golden Colorlynx calibration profile set, complimentary Colorlynx calibration profile sets, and access to Canon Solutions America’s exclusive imagePRESS colour calibration protocol.
