Workflow in Reprohouse

Reprohouse is a company that provides services to film-making separation and progressive proof.
Workflow process begins with receiving digital data from the advertising / customer (currently all digital image is usually directly from a digital camera, so customers rarely bring [b] photo / slide [/ i] for the scan).
The digital data is then opened on a PC / Macintosh checked for completeness for non-problem occurs with the output movie.
Then the data they will be made into a data postscript or PDF file and in output to Imagesetter (CTF) through the RIP (Raster Image Processor), for a film separation. Then through platemaker contacted a printing plate and ready made progressive proof.

how to assess the separation film is good?
a fine day reprohouse must perform calibration on a regular basis to maintain film quality separasinya film. Measuring tool that is used to calibrate a densitometer.

There are several thing hrs dr note to check the quality of the film separation, including: register, density, and linerisasi.

1. density
film thickness is the value of separation. Recommended maximum density value is 3.8 - 4.2 D.
To know the value of density of a film, using a measuring instrument densitomer hrs Transparency. Low density value which will result in solid colors on your printed output will look faded or the color is not dark. One cause of low density is krn processor conditions are less good.

2. linearization dot (raster)
linearization dot raster means 50% of digital files must be out 50% jg on film with more or less 2% tolerance

progressive proof
is a distinguished print proof process done using offset printing system Dlm simpler shape and manuals.
progressive proof with proof jg often called conventional or manual proof.
Progressive proof is used as a guide color printing. This system is used during the workflow we still use Imagesetter (CTF).

The process of making the proof is done one by one as in a color printing machine.
When these conditions are less optimal proof engine and has produced ill again, so that spare parts are no longer supported by the vendor (manufacturer) and maintenance costs become more expensive.

excess Progressive Proof
1. More 'safe' when used as contract proofs because jg production using the same separation.
2. Simulation for printout actually closer because sama2 using the same printing components.
3. Special color for a very similar fit so the final production cost is quite expensive.

lack Progressive Proof
1. The process is done manually so difficult to make standard and less consistent.
2. Has a flatness problem in all areas of printing inks.
3. Colors which are not stable, so that each sheet has a different color.
4. Less efficient, because it still requires a separation film
5. Keep in a wide range of work space.
6. Production costs are higher, because the wear plate of raw materials, paper, ink, chemical and more than one operator.
7. The color of an image will be influenced by the surrounding dominant color.

When the color of the first progressive proof which does not match, the customer is generally asked is repeated.
Repetition usually done with the way they will:
First, replace the film and edit digital separasinya terlebi file first, or
The second way, still using the same film, but the amount of ink when printing progressive proof set, it is very easy to do considering all the process is done manually.

Digital Color Proofing
Not all Reprohouse provides digital color proofing. In general, only separation and progressive proof film.
However, in line with developments in technology, digital proofing, and enables more rapid color prints can be simulated as close as mgkn with digital proofing results.
Needs time which is faster and the efficiency factor for pushing an air-investment Reprohouse digital proofing

* Note *
Colors in the digital proofing a Reprohouse refers to the progressive color proof, which borders on progressive proof paper is limited to artpaper. HVS or newsprint which is not necessarily equal actual paper when printing.
