Raster Proofing

• With the black magic software its possible to
• use the already separated data from Brisque,
• Taipan, etc
• -No ripping
• CMYK raster proof
• -Hexachrome raster proof
• -Lay-out control

For raster proofing we need the help of third
party software. On July 28th, beta testing was
finished Sales will start at Viscom Europe See

Scanning
For a good scan to use on FJ you should Make
sure that for a 720 Dpi print you have 120 PPI
(for A0 size) Scan A4 should be 600 PPI
A4 600 PPI A3 480 PPI A2 360 PPI A1 240 PPI
A0 120 PPI
A 120 PPI print on the FJ will give the best
result if printed with 720 Dpi Try to avoid
the use of interpolation
