News Archives - SpotOn Color Software

2019 was a great year for SpotOn Color. In this post, we would like to take you on a short year in review.

Earlier in the year, our own Bruce Bayne was featured on the IDEAlliance GAMUT Printing and Packaging podcast. The episode focuses on new BrandQ requirements and the Formula to Connect the Global Supply Chain. Listen to the podcast.

This year, we also completed some significant updates to both our Analyze/Verify and Flexo software. Both sets of software had two new releases this year.

Flexo Updates

In 2019, updates to Flexo were general bug fixes. But there are two exciting features that are worthy to note.

First, Flexo is now able to measure SCTV, or Spot Color Tonal Value. The addition of SCTV allows users to calibrate tonal values of spot colors as defined in ISO 20654-2017. The methodology works with all inks and all printing conditions.

Second, we added a new measurement report. Now Flexo has two reports: a measurement report and a job report.

The difference between the two reports is that the measurement report shows a single measurement instance (although you could have multiple spot colors) while the job report shows the trend of all measurements for a job.

Analyze and Verify Updates

In 2019, many updates to SpotOn Color Analyze and Verify were bug fixes.

Besides those fixes, here are some other improvements to the software:

Improved license check functionality to reduce error messages
Updated eXact driver
Improved Verify device report layout
Added instrument and mode to Verify when importing Barbieri data
Updated G7 Colorspace to 2019 specs

With the updates to Flexo, Analyze and Verify, Windows 32-bit operating systems are no longer supported. The minimum Windows configuration is now Windows 7, 64-bit. Operating systems below Windows 7 SP1 and Mac OS 10.10.5 will no longer be supported.

In conclusion, we are happy to continue to improve upon our products and services. We have already started working on Version 3 of SpotOn and we are looking forward to its release in 2020.

If you have any questions about any of our software or other services, please contact us.

Exciting news!

Today, we’re announcing the launch of Analyze. It is the ultimate weapon for print industry professionals who are serious about printing great color.

Simply eyeballing color doesn’t cut it anymore. In fact, it’s a recipe for disaster. It causes lost time, lost customers, and lost profits. Pros know you can’t manage what you don’t measure. Therefore, they collect data and use it to maximize color control.

As a result, G7 experts and in-house color gurus use Analyze to map device behavior, aid G7 calibration, and outperform the competition every day.

Analyze is a powerful addition to print management software that further increases the efficiency of the printing process. It presents detailed color data in a simple visual interface.

In addition, Analyze helps printers improve consistency and increase the accuracy of color calibration for all types of printing devices. It puts process control in users’ hands, helping deliver quicker turn times, reduced ink and paper waste, and improved profits.

In today’s competitive print industry, efficiency and accuracy are the keys to success. Subsequently, Analyze helps users streamline the G7^® certification process and maximize the results over time. We are thrilled to announce this significant step forward for the color industry. Meanwhile, we are ready to help you integrate it into your workflow.

Data drives profitable production in any industry; and printers can use it to take control of color and the bottom line.

Most importantly, Analyze is a powerful tool that allows you to streamline G7^® calibrations, capture detailed performance data, and anticipate issues before they start. The software enables you to implement process control, make continual performance improvements, and maximize profits. Analyze stops the guessing game by bringing color into the digital age.
