ECO\u00b3<\/h1>\n
InkTune and PressTune are crucial elements of Agfa Graphics\u2019 ECO\u00b3 program<\/em>. In designing and creating solutions based on hardware, software and consumables, Agfa Graphics focuses on ecology, economy, and extra convenience (ECO\u00b3) to make prepress and printing operations cleaner, more cost-effective and easier to manage and maintain. The ECO\u00b3 solutions drive extra value to printing businesses.<\/p>\n Building on grey component replacement (GCR) technology, InkTune dynamically substitutes CMY inks with black ink. As an intuitive software solution that is fully integrated into the prepress workflow, InkTune uses Agfa unique technology such as Dynamic Ink Limit Control and Dynamic Device Link Generation to maximize ink reduction up to 30%, while maintaining color fidelity. The reduction of ink not only has a positive cost savings impact, it also increases overall production efficiency as the drying time is reduced. Furthermore, quality levels increase as rosette structures disappear and color deviations become less visible.<\/p>\n Through intelligent analytics capabilities applied to print and color data obtained from the press, PressTune also reports in real time across printing technologies to each stakeholder, for full transparency of the print production process. It enables issue identification and optimized press maintenance scheduling. Even more, the solution\u2019s easy-to-read dashboard makes it simple to generate print quality reports for brand owners in packaging and commercial print and allows for remote quality assurance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Agfa Graphics releases InkTune and PressTune, software enabling ultimate control over printing resources and standards, for optimized performance and low TCO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24348,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8491,7731],"tags":[7737,7738,7739],"class_list":["post-30573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-evidence","category-international-en","tag-eco-program-en","tag-ink-control-en","tag-offset-printing-en"],"yoast_head":"\nInkTune<\/h1>\n

As a print production tool, PressTune drives consistency, productivity and the ability to print to exacting standards. As the required print quality standard is reached faster by means of dynamic ink density adjustment and a data-driven scoring mechanism incorporating dry-back compensation, make-ready times get reduced by up to 40% \u2013 which in turn leads to less waste.<\/p>\n
