:Apogee Proof makes you keep full control over the entire proofing process, which enables you to substantially enhance the productivity and efficiency of your workflow.
Integrated Quality Control for Absolute Proofing Accuracy
Agfa Graphics' proofing solutions work in tandem with Agfa Graphics' workflow solutions to guarantee digital file integrity throughout the workflow. .
Stand-alone or in a non-Agfa workflow, :Apogee Proof is the perfect solution. It provides reliable and predictable proofing, system wide.
It is versatile and can be set-up as a simple RIP or as an advanced proofing workflow system.
More than a RIP, it delivers prepress functionality for managing your proofing workflow. :Apogee Proof drives all :Sherpa and :SherpaProof systems as well as a range of 3rd party printers.
The client server technology puts you in control from anywhere in the network through an
intuitive graphical user interface. With built-in colour management and output quality control, the
:Apogee Proof delivers absolute proofing accuracy.
User Profile
:Apogee Proof provides maximum flexibility and control for ad agencies, creatives, pre-press houses, service bureaus, packaging converters and printers, with a :SherpaProof system, or any non-Agfa workflow.
Key benefits
:Apogee Proof Matches Your Needs :Apogee Proof comes with a five-client license – giving you full control to everyone in your entire network. :Apogee Proof has no output size limitation
:QmsX quality management system Matches tonal behaviour among two or more :Sherpa systems. It verifies the accuracy of a proof over time and at remote locations.
:ColorTune Provides end-to-end colour management using industry standard ICC profiles to characterise all devices in the workflow for colour predictability from any workstation or proofer at any location.
Contone previewer Enables softproofing to check for correct separation, overprint, knock-out, and trapping
:SherpaRemote :SherpaRemote gives you greater file exchange capabilities between different proofers in remote locations. It ensures complete data integrity and enhances throughput in your extended workflow. The cost of sending proofs for evaluation or review is drastically reduced, as well as the time needed. Proofs are printed remotely, but the prepress operator is still in control: the selection of the proofs to be made, the colour management and the quality control remains the host site.
Raster Proofing with :SherpaDot Now you can evaluate the visual effect of screening on your printed result and even predict subject moiré. Agfa offers the :SherpaDot option to :Apogee and :Apogee Proof which uses a 'Dot for Dot' screening technology for :SherpaProof systems: a halftone proof on an ink jet system. It uses the original dots of the digital bitmap for the platemaker (the so called "digital film") to make a colour accurate proof of the final printed sheet. The Digital Film Proof functionality which comes with :SherpaDot also features enables progressive separations to simulate the interaction (trapping, overprinting) between individual plates
