Christchurch, New Zealand, September 7, 2005: Gimlé, developers of AbsoluteProof® digital inkjet proofing software, today announce their partnership with The Whole Proof (TWP International) to deliver accurate press match proofs for corrugated packaging and folding carton printing companies.
“Now printing companies can produce accurate halftone digital inkjet proofs on the same substrates that will be used on the printing press”, says Hugo Kristinsson, Gimle’s CEO. “We are excited at the opportunity to offer this market the ability to see their prototypes proofed on the same grade stock from top manufacturers such as Smurf-it Stone, International Paper, and MeadWest Vaco.”
Pierre Ferland, CEO of The Whole Proof, states that “AbsoluteProof’s Intelligent MultiColor Engine provides the perfect digital inkjet proofing system to partner with our new line of inkjet media. We can now clearly demonstrate that the semi-gloss coating on our paper can imitate the poly-coated look and feel of popular beverage grade stock including inkload capacity and take advantage of the wide color gamut supported by AbsoluteProof.”
The new media is compatible with a range of inkjet proofing devices including Epson. Live samples can be seen at Print ’05 in the wide-format pavilion, Booth #8351.
