Gloucester-based print and digital media house, Severn, has turned to Prepress UK in order to keep its Kodak Prinergy driven Epson large format printers producing ISO12647-2 certified proofs.
The single StudioRIP Inkjet Edition software package is driving two Epson 7800 printers and producing proofs at twice the speed of the original system.
Two years ago Kodak supplied hundreds-of-thousands of pounds worth of pre-press equipment to the company and had advised that it would no longer be supporting the Epson printer connection that it had originally provided.
Eventually difficulties arose with the system, production manager Lyndon Murray had to act quickly. ‘I had known Nic Chapman [Prepress UK Sales Director] for many years, and approached him to ask if he would be able to help us in our hour of need,’ said Lyndon. ‘I was amazed at how quickly Prepress UK were able to come to the rescue. From my initial contact with Nic, we had the solution installed and working within four days.
‘The StudioRIP Inkjet package not only solved our immediate problems, providing accurate, consistent colour proofs to ISO12647-2 standard, it actually speeded up the whole proofing process, with a 50% improvement in output speeds.’
