Can cost savings be achieved while preserving or even increasing the quality of prints? InkTune proves that it’s possible. As its name implies, InkTune helps you save on ink costs. It uses Grey Component Replacement (GCR), which substitutes expensive CMY inks with the more economical black (K) ink. But it also does a lot more: it improves color stability on the press, as well as image quality and consistency. As a result, there is less interference between different inks, the inks dry faster and printing speeds can be higher.
InkTune is a unique solution because it is entirely integrated into the prepress workflow. The software works its magic during the rendering process without requiring extra hardware or user expertise. This makes InkTune a cost-effective solution that improves quality and lowers environmental impact.
Lower ink consumption
Savings of up to 30% can be achieved!
Faster drying times
Faster drying times make it possible to start post-press activities (cutting, folding etc.) sooner
Less paper waste
Better ink setting lead to less paper being needed for make-ready.
Higher quality printing
Because there is less information in the color separations, registration errors and rosette structures are less visible, so images appear sharper. Every color transformation is calculated by ECO3's patented Advanced CMM (Color Management Module), which uses industry standard or customer ICC profiles. No color deviations are visible when the original color separations of images and text are compared to the InkTuned result.
Increased consistency and stability
InkTune avoids color casts through variations in ink weight on press by producing more consistent greys.
