Cromalin® Blue

After a very successful three month beta period with many installations in Europe and North America, customers confirmed the quality and reliability of the new Cromalin® blue. The Cromalin® blue is now fully available shipping commercially.

Craig T. Reid, Global Marketing Manager for DuPont Color Communication comments; "The positive feedback on the Cromalin® blue has been tremendous. Our customers see an immense value in the automatic calibration provided by the in-line robotic spectrophotometer on the Cromalin® blue. When repeatability and consistency are essential, for print to print or proofer to proofer, the Cromalin® blue is an ideal integrated system solution for the premium proofing market."

Driven by DuPont™ Cromanet™ color management software, the DuPont™ Cromalin® blue series of inkjet proofing systems produces premium contract-quality proofs using DuPont eight color ink and speciality proofing media. The total package has been designed specifically to address the needs of the high-end proofing market, where repeatable quality is paramount and non-negotiable, but which is nevertheless experiencing the industry-wide pressures to reduce costs and production time.

The Cromalin® blue system features all new high resolution print head technology, a new double speed print mode, and new Cromanet™ color management tools to master the most critical color applications. The system continues to include an embedded spectrophotometer for automatic spectral calibration and color proof verification, the proof server hardware and software, along with full installation, training, and excellent DuPont support.
