Users can then evaluate the low-cost proof on the desktop, using the same separated files that will be sent to the 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.

Smart XT also allows Quark XPress pages built with Scitex PSImage files to perform Automatic Picture Replacement (APR APR See: Annual Percentage Rate ) during output on the Professional ColorPoint 2 PSF, Model 14. Smart XT automatically recognizes the PSImage files within the page and replaces the high resolution information during separations and composite printing. This eliminates the need to process data-intensive high resolution images in the entire proofing operation. As a result, the process is streamlined, saving time and reducing costs. "The reason we designed both thermal wax and dye sublimation sublimation, in chemistry sublimation (sŭblĭmā`shən), change of a solid substance directly to a vapor without first passing through the liquid state. technology into a single printer was to deliver improved flexibility and cost savings to our customers," said Craig Lynar, director of marketing for Seiko Instruments' Color Graphics The ability to display graphic images in colors.
