Scitex Begins Installation of Brisque Proof Digital Front-End.NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 23, 1997-- Automation Plus Color and Linework Enhancements are Provided by New Front-End to Iris Realist and SmartJet Printers. Brisque Proof Digital Front-End Establishes New Benchmark in Digital Contract Proofing. Scitex America Corp., a fully owned subsidiary of Scitex Corporation Ltd. (Nasdaq: SCIXF), has officially released and begun installations of Brisque Proof, one of its award-winning family of Brisque digital front-ends. The Brisque Proof digital front-end offers high-level automation and contract-proofing enhancements for the company's Iris printers, which have already set industry standards in digital proofing Preparing a sample of printed output on a computer printer before the job is printed on a commercial press. Contrast with Matchprint and soft proofing. . According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Ian Ehrenberg, vice president of sales and marketing for Scitex America, "the Brisque Proof digital front-end (DFE DFE Design For the Environment DFE Digital Front End DFE Decision Feedback Equalization DFE Decision Feedback Equalizer DFE Department For Education (UK) DFE Dietary Folate Equivalent ) offers a price/performance ratio In economics and engineering, the price/performance ratio refers to a product's ability to deliver performance, of any sort, for its price. For instance, if you have a whole day to travel 100 km, spending $50 to do the journey in two hours is a better price/performance ratio than unmatched by anything else on the market. No other solution produces true contract-quality proofs, offers state-of-the art automation, and is available at a price as low as $61,500 which includes a Brisque Proof DFE and an Iris Realist FX 5015 printer." Current users report that one of the features they like most about the Scitex proofing solution is its virtual hands-free operation, which saves time and requires fewer operators. Mark Durkin, vice president of manufacturing at Image Processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished Inc., in Branford, Connecticut Branford is a town located on Long Island Sound in New Haven County, Connecticut, eight miles (13 km) east of New Haven. The population was 29,089 in 2005, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. , a digital trade services provider with clients that include Staples office products stores and KalKan pet foods, reports that "we have operators at various locations in our plant working on Macintosh(r) computers and sending jobs in the form of generic PostScript files to an unattended Brisque DFE for proofing. From there, it's a snap. In about 50 seconds of RIPing on the Brisque DFE and about 10 minutes of printing on the Iris Realist, we get our full-page proof." "It works this simply because of Brisque's Job Ticket templates and hot folders," Durkin continues, "which allow for the pipelining and streamlining of our predefined sequences of operations. Of course, we can go in there and customize a job if we want to. But that doesn't happen very often. We've set up nearly 50 templates, which enable us to process a large percentage of our jobs with no human intervention at all. When you re outputting 200-250 Iris proofs a week, as we do, this is a critical advantage." Durkin also likes the ability of Brisque Proof digital front-end to save files that can be moved and later output to different devices, such as a Dolev 800 imagesetter A machine that generates output for the printing process, which is either a film-based paper that is photographed or the actual film for making the printing plates. Input comes from the keyboard, or via disk, tape or modem. for film. One-RIP proofing and imaging increases predictability. "This ability greatly enhances our working procedures with major partners like Quad/Graphics, Quebecor, and Donnelly," he concludes. Another feature that facilitates the approval process is the Brisque DFE's ability to output readers spreads on the fly. Rather than having to create a proof manually by cutting up and taping together pages from printers spreads, user goes to the proofing setup parameters on the Iris to select readers spreads as output. This makes evaluation much easier for the customer. "But a streamlined workflow isn't the only contribution that Brisque Proof DFE makes to contract proofing," Ehrenberg indicates. "For highly critical customers, the ones who make 4 percent color adjustments, the new Iris Precision Color software should provide the reassurance they need." Another innovation with Brisque Proof DFE is Scitex SuperCombine, an application that improves the appearance of both lineart and typography typography (tīpŏg`rəfē), the art of printing from movable type. The term typographer is today virtually synonymous with a master printer skilled in the techniques of type and paper stock selection, ornamentation, and composition. . With SuperCombine, even the finest serifs on an Iris proof are legible leg·i·ble adj. 1. Possible to read or decipher: legible handwriting. 2. Plainly discernible; apparent: legible weaknesses in character and disposition. . Iris printers supported by the Brisque Proof DFE are the Iris Realist 5015 and 5030, the new Iris Realist FX 5015 and FX 5030, and the Iris SmartJet. Brisque Proof DFE also optionally supports Scitex ImProof 750, a digital blueline blue·line or blue line n.
