Waterproof® thermal halftone proofingMaster the benefits of your computer-to-plate workflow with a proofing system that allows you to see them.

With DuPont's WaterProof® Thermal  Halftone Proofing, you will see the accurate color print prediction and  resolution that WaterProof® is known for. You'll also gain the confidence  you need to go to press with proofs and plates made from the same digital  data. The result is fast, clean, 4- and 8-page proofs with the same  resolution and dot structure that will be printed on press, providing the highest proof-to-press accuracy available in the industry.

Plus, the WaterProof® Thermal Halftone system is fully compatible with our analog WaterProof® Color Versatility, which means you have access to  a full range of specialty colors, including metallics and fluorescents.  Simply use WaterProof® Thermal to produce the process and pre-coated  specialty colors, then analog WaterProof® and WaterProof® CV ink formulations to produce a hybrid proof with unprecedented accuracy and  color versatility.

Even better than best-in-class.

WaterProof® Thermal Halftone is best in any class. It's the  highest-resolution 830 nm thermal proofing system available. Since  WaterProof® Thermal Halftone provides the best color match to analog WaterProof®, it's also the best possible match to press. Proofs on the actual job stock, so you get a prototype of the printed job itself. And of  course, since it carries the WaterProof® name, you get fast print buyer  acceptance because they know it is a proof that can be trusted. It all  boils down to higher productivity for your entire operation.

"DuPont is providing us the technology growth path  we need to better serve our customers with accurate proofing in a CTP workflow."
