Why you need a Resometer TM
Just like a thermometer measures temperature, and a speedometer measures speed, the Resometer TM measures image quality and resoloution of electronically printed images.
The Resometer TM helps train and educate people running electronic imaging systems.
Background:
Over the past 40 years electronic technologies have permeated the graphic arts. Most of the industries manufacturing measuring tools from the analog film based world simply will not work in the digital printing world. Technology Watch TM saw this and as a result the Resometer TM was born. A Resometer TM is a "resolution meter" and is a computer file that when dropped and played on an electronic printing, CTP, ink-jet plotting etc. device, evaluates the products of both the RIP and image output device and to provide a way to measure the actual image quality from the entire imaging chain to determine resolution.
The Resometer TM measures resolution. Resolution is one key determinant of image quality.
You can see from this list the Resometer TM delivers to printing facilities a new very powerful capability they never had before. The Resometer TM runs on anything that can run an EPS of PDF file...that means virtually nearly everything.
Benefits:
- Assures the quality of your printing device by providing a standard target showing detail of the output device measured on the actual material being printed on.
- Assess quality of the rip in combination with the output device.
- Allows you to see the behavior of the output device using different types of paper and stock materials.
- Interrogates the rip to determine the rips profile - basically a snapshot of the rip info.
-
Helps communicate service issues with the manufacturer of your RIP as well as the output device.
