You can make as many profiles as you want.some for different stocks of paper being used.or some for your best client that maybe likes a more puncy sheet off the press.etcĪlso you can make 'Progressive' proofs.say you only have a 2 color press and your first 2 inks down are Cyan and Magenta.then the 'Starproof' software can make a proof with only those 2 colors.that way your pressman knows what run to.then you can make a final proof for the other 2 colors. 'proofs' that match your presses.īasically you output some files from Compose (to film or CTP).you run these files / plates on your presses and print to your shops standards regarding ink densities and how you like your printing to reads your printed sheet and builds a proof profile to match that press.including dot gain and color. it creates a true dot.simalar to the dot found on the is easy to use and to set up. From a strictly offset repro world I really like the 'STARPROOF' Rip From Compose.
