Thanks to the Dynamic DeviceLink technology, the files were converted directly from the web offset profile to gravure – completely avoiding the problems of managing the black channel."Īlwan CMYK Optimizer's track record for delivering successful results gave Mondadori Printing a technical edge to handle the demanding print requirements for the famous 639-page Pirelli Calendar book. In view of the tight production schedule and costs related to converting the digital files, we intervened on the files using the Alwan CMYK Optimizer software. All of a sudden he decided to switch to gravure printing at the very last minute.
Sergio Brunelli, head of prepress and offset quality control at Mondadori Printing, provides an example of why Alwan CMYK Optimizer is an absolute must in their production workflow: "A client provided a PDF file that was only suitable for web offset printing. CMYK Optimizer effectively resolves this kind of problem by focusing on the digital profile at the initial phase of plate creation. Alwan provides an effective solution to this problem with its award winning CMYK Optimizer software, which is based on the Dynamic DeviceLink profile technology. One frequently occurring problem is preserving the purity of the Black channel, when performing a colorimetric conversion using two ICC profiles. However when it comes to color management, the ability to intercept errors as well as potential problems from incoming files is totally ineffective. Operators must handle files coming from every corner of the world. The graphic production flow has recently experienced a real revolution in terms of its technology and methodology. Mondadori's color management requirements reflect a common trend in today's dynamically evolving industry. The production from the offset division ranges from books to covers for catalogues and magazines that are produced using gravure or web offset. With a workforce of over 1,500 employees, the company can print using offset, web offset, gravure and flexography. It offers printing services to Mondadori publishers as well as to a large number of other Italian and international customers. With four production sites in Northern Italy, Mondadori Printing is one of the largest graphic companies in Europe. The high-end publication was printed in offset with a very high print run and contained both color and black-and-white images.
Mondadori depended on CMYK Optimizer to handle the color management on a 639-page compilation of the annual Pirelli Calendars published from 1964 until 2007. Brussels, March 19th, 2008 - Alwan's world leading CMYK Optimizer software proved to be the essential technology to ensure exceptional print quality for the renowned Pirelli Calendar book at Mondadori Printing in Italy.
