Robyn Smith - President/Publisher: rsmith@nvpublications.com Len Prazych - Vice President By utilizing the System Brunner Instrument Flight soft- ware on its Koenig & Bauer Rapida 106, Cedar’s skilled press operators were able to control color via gray bal- ance and keep the four color gray builds looking consis- tent throughout the catalog. “Controlling color by density alone is something that would have been extremely diffi- cult, if not impossible, before,” he says. Visit www.cedargraphicsinc.com for more information. gray balance inline on press, he says. It measures every sheet for density, TVI (tone value increase), and gray bal- ance. Instrument Flight then takes these measurements and will raise or lower the density in each color across the sheet to keep the press in perfect gray balance based on the standard the press operator has entered into the soft- ware. “Instrument Flight is an amazing color control soft- ware that gives us the ability to keep our print jobs in a completely higher level of control,” says Burnett. “It allows us to achieve and maintain true color at all times.” “Our innovative brands and creative customers are always pushing the envelope for eye-catching or tac- tile coatings and varnish combinations,” says Justin Mc- Donald, Marketing Director at Cedar Graphics. “Recently, we’ve been testing LED soft touch coating. With so many customers enjoying both the look and feel of soft touch coating on their printed material, we are always looking at improving this process in quality, durability, and turn time. “Plus, the press has given Cedar the means to produce work that they couldn’t have done before. Recently, the firm received a very difficult print project for a catalog that contained four color gray builds both in the product itself and the background color as well,” recalls Burnett.
