When deployed alongside Esko Automation Engine, bitmap viewing tasks can be partially automated or systematically triggered. Automated workflows can generate low-resolution viewable proxies for remote approval while preserving the high-resolution files on centralized servers. Operators can launch the Bitmap Viewer directly from their Automation Engine pilot interface, speeding up file location and inspection times. Business Benefits of Digital Quality Control
The most expensive place to find a prepress error is on the printing press. If a job is stopped on-press due to a moiré or a missing spot color separation, the idle press time can cost thousands of dollars per hour. Gaps or misalignments between adjacent color boundaries
When halftone screens of different colors overlap at incorrect angles, they can create an unwanted wavy pattern known as a moiré. Bitmap Viewer allows operators to overlay different color separations digitally and simulate the physical printing process. By doing so, they can catch potential moiré patterns on screen before the job ever touches a press cylinder. 2. High-Magnification Zoom and Pixel Inspection
The is a standalone utility integrated into the Esko software suite. Its primary function is to visualize 1-bit monochrome bitmap files (often generated by RIPs) and high-resolution contone images. It strips away the visual "fluff" to show the operator exactly what the output device (PlateSetter or Imagesetter) will produce. Business Benefits of Digital Quality Control The most
The is an advanced quality control application designed to verify RIPped (Raster Image Processor) data for packaging, labels, and commercial print before it is sent to plate or cylinder imaging. By allowing operators to inspect high-resolution bitmaps at the pixel level, it serves as the final digital gatekeeper, identifying potential printing errors that could otherwise lead to expensive press downtime and wasted materials.
