Graph Expo Part II

Hewlett-Packard showed a dual-sided imposition proofer called the PreProofer 5000, from Somitrack AB. Using an HP Designjet 5000 ink-jet printer, it handles both low-cost internal proofs and high-quality folded contact approval proofs. Special media are not required. A 16-up imposition is printed in less than six minutes. Since the same RIP is used for proofing and plate making, the data on paper is guaranteed to be identical to that on the film or plate.
