Awareness of environmental concerns has recently emerged, the environment surrounding printing

industry has been dynamically changed.

As a result, the industry is undergoing a dramatic shift away from the mass production printing

style to the personalized printing style that adds values by supplying the particular amount of print

needed, when it is needed, then to the persons who need it.

Against the background that the printing industry is currently undergoing a global paradigm shift,

Screen has promoted a new concept known as EQUIOSNET to meet that demand. An even more

advanced version of Screen’s CtP workflow know as Trueflownet, EQUIOSNET is a printing business

solution that incorporates the segment of personalization to support variable printing with advanced

Print On Demand (POD) system based on innovative inkjet technologies.

It is targeted to realize the “End to end automation” which enables total process automation by

collaborating with major top venders in each field such as MIS, CMS, Web 2 Print, Press, Postpress,

with Trueflow SE or SV-110 as these center.

With EQUIOSNET concept, we keep on promoting the printing business solution for the

customer who wants to expand the business field in the changing time.

What is End-to-End automation?End-to-End automation is an efficient and error free workflow, automated by the same job information from the customer desktop all the way to postpress and logistics. It optimizes the overall print production process, which brings both printers and their clients benefits.

A customer portal to bridge online between printers and clients is one of the essential

requirements to reach new customers or to retain current customers’ satisfaction. SCREEN has its

own portal solution for online proof and approval, Riteapprove SE, and carries on the collaboration

with other web-to-print vendors.

Automation with MIS, press and postpress greatly contributes to reduce human errors and shortens

turnaround time. SCREEN already achieved JDF connection with MIS, press and postpress, and are

strongly expanding its collaboration scheme under the EQUIOSNET partnership program.

Short run printing is an essential method to survive in this rapid changing market. Trueflow SE

supports the Hybrid workflow, which can be connected to other vendors’ toner PODs. For obtaining

clients long term loyalty, you’d better go for reliable output results that is assured by Trueflow RIPed

data rather than just a POD.

timings and in different orders. It can be customized for every single

job and always provides the most effective production process.

Automatic processingYou can use it for a simple automation like Hot Folder path, or for

an intelligent automation for late-binding files. If some pages are

likely to arrive late, you can have every separate flat run through

the process automatically once its pages are ready.

Section based jobSection based job management is very useful for the job with

several different output requirements, such as books with bands

and binding covers which are different page sizes, or magazines

containing combined color and black-and-white pages.

Page offsetPage offset can be used to adjust page placement when accidently

page size settings are different from actual content sizes.

Client PC/MacClient device can be both PC and Mac.

A Hot Folder is easy to use; every step of the process is preset and

automated. Once it is set up, everyone can output a job on Trueflow

with simple drag-and-drop operations.

For Higher QualityRGB-to-CMYK Conversion

The ability to transmit images easily and reliably while maintaining

high quality is one of the biggest issues facing the printing

industry. Screen’s decades of prepress and high-end scanner

experience have led to the creation of Colorgenius to address

these issues. It offers easy conversion of images to print-ready

CMYK with a single click of the mouse, while maintaining the

tone of the original image.

Screen's history of experience in RGB/CMYK color separations

Colorgenius DC: Just one click from RGB to CMYK

AI setup

Optimized CMYK halftone dots are generated for the density range

(highlights to shadows) of the original image (RGB image), so that the

image’s tone can be reproduced.

Subject and finish-style keywords are used to generate the desired

finish. Colorgenius DC features keywords that incorporate the image

correction know-how of expert prepress operators. The user can

simulate color conversion as many times as needed while trying

different options until the desired finish is achieved.

1 Click!

1 Drag!

Sharpness AI

Colorgenius DC’s sharpness AI offers automatic evaluation and

optimization of the RGB image to ensure optimal sharpness for the

printing of images, regardless of the type of digital camera and image

capture conditions.

AI bypass function

Colorgenius DC can also be used to combine ICC profile style

conversion with fine adjustments to the image using keywords and

sharpness settings. This results in an extremely high image quality.

Modification of CMYK images

Colorgenius DC can edit images submitted in CMYK format as well.

The same types of operations such as Keyword settings for RGB are

fully supported and can be used for CMYK images.

Improved 8-bit RGB conversion quality

Colorgenius DC now offers higher quality conversion of 8-bit RGB

images such as those produced by consumer-level digital cameras

and available in free image libraries. The new conversion algorithms

help prevent tone jumps, and the AI setup’s optimized color-cast

correction ensures even higher overall quality.

RGB/PDF Workfl ow Solution

The biggest problem in RGB-to-CMYK conversion is ensuring that the

feel of the original image is reproduced when the image is printed.

Colorgenius LE, which is bundled with Trueflow SE, is an

Acrobat plug-in that specifies instructions (recipe files) for

converting files submitted in RGB/PDF format to CMYK.

Colorgenius LE also makes it easy to simulate printing output

as many times as desired. It automatically handles high-level

printing processing issues, such as total ink volume and resolution

conversion, so the operator can focus on adjusting the desired

image finish.

Colorgenius AC, which is available for an additional charge,

enables expert image finish adjustments. It features a sharpness

AI that automatically corrects the sharpness for each image and

has a multiple image setup function that is useful in a variety of

situations, for example, when the operator wants to match the look

of the backgrounds of multiple images.

LabProof SE is a high-quality color proofing system that takes full

advantage of the strengths of inkjet printing. Users can preset

LabProof SE processing to a Job ticket to enable automatic output

to the LabProof SE and inkjet proofer output. Spot color information

and printing conditions can be transmitted in the printing instructions,

which makes LabProof SE extremely fast and easy to use. LabProof SE

status reporting during printing can be obtained through JDF/JMF.

It accepts RIP’ed CMYK TIFF and 1-bit TIFF files and outputs

them on a large-format inkjet printer. LabProof SE uses industry-

standard ICC profiles and color chart measurement for color

matching and creates color proofs that are as close to the final

printed product as possible.

Colorgenius LE/AC: Color quality solution for an advanced RGB workfl ow

LabProof SE: For remarkably accurate color proof output

What is Recipe technology?“Recipe” is one of the Screen’s innovative technologies using its

cultivated color separation know-how from high-end scanners.

Recipes contain all the information needed for effective conversion

of RGB data to CMYK, including conversion tables, keywords, and

more. Since they are conveyed as a separated file from the original

image data, the original photo quality is maintained, which improves

the quality and also benefit image data archives and even re-setups

of image data archives or even for re-setups of preliminarily converted

CMYK data. You can also use Recipe to share color settings information

with your team or apply it to all the similar images. If desired, recipes

can be secured with passwords to protect your color setup know-how.

Together with Trueflow SE recipe conversion option, you can

get an experienced operators’ quality by easy one click setups.

When Colorgenius LE/AC, an Acrobat plug-in, is used to specify a

recipe file for RGB images, those images remain in the original RGB

until the very last RIPing by Trueflow SE with Adobe PDF engine,

and converted to CMYK with the desired finish. This ensures that

the lovely gradation quality characteristic of RGB images is not lost

in intermediate processing, as well as preserving the desired image

finish and increasing production efficiency.
