The Kodak Proofing Software 4.2 allows users to manage color profiles, media configurations, and proofing processes. It provides tools to install software, monitor proofing status, and ensure color accuracy. Users can simulate printing processes, track calibrations, and get reports on color performance over time. The software aims to help users model multiple processes and get proofs that accurately represent expected final prints.

2. The Proofer Administrator gives the user the health and status of the proofing software. It
also provides simple tools to install/upgrade their software as well as enhance their
collection of media configurations and color bars to support proofing to a wide variety of
color standards.

3. The Proofer Administrator gives the user the ability to individually administer proofers
running on a Kodak Proofing Software system.

4. Users can manage their color bars on a per proofer basis through the Proofer
Administrator.

5. Users can manage their ICC profiles and color management through the Proofer
Administrator.

6. The Certified Process for Color Confirmation checks that the proof complies with the color
standards specified for that job, helping printers and print buyers communicate and
confirm color expectations, thereby avoiding costly errors before going to press.
The Color Confirmation Wizard allows the user to check the color performance of
individual proofs.

7. Users can manage spot colors from their printing processes in color libraries using Kodak
Proofing Software's intuitive Color Database Error. Kodak also provides several standard
spot color libraries such as PANTONE CMYK libraries.

8. The power and convenience of configuring multiple hot folders allow users to model
several printing processes at the same time.

9. Kodak Proofing Software Layouts give users the ability to control arrangement of proofs
on a sheet and setup their Color Confirmation Processes.

10. Kodak's widest media portfolio on the proofing market is intuitively handled by Kodak
Proofing Software's Media Configuration Editor.

11. The Controller Viewer gives the user a system-wide status on all proofs. It also supports
the easy submitting of files directly to hot folders using intuitive drag and drop operations.

12. Users can stay on top of everything happening on their Kodak Proofing Systems using the
Event Viewer panel in Controller Viewer.

14. Need to create simulation device link profiles for process colors? The Kodak Proofing
Software Proofer Administrator gives the user the ability to create CMYK-CMYK device
links using press or source characterization data measured from a printed ECI 2002, IT8
7/4 or IT87/3 chart.
Moreover, if the characterization charts are printed with a flexo printing process that
uses a highlight bump or highlight minimum dot (cuto ), Kodak Proofing Software
can generate a device link that emulates these e ects when proofing.

15. Need to simulate Press Mottle and Paper Grain? Adjust color measurement thresholds?
Kodak Proofing Software's Media Configuration Editor lets users tailor Kodak Media (or
their own custom media) characteristics to fit their processes.

16. Kodak Proofing Software's High Resolution Viewer provides a true dot-for-dot preview for
an accurate representation of proofing results. Users can be confident their final proofs
will be exactly what they expect it to be.

18. Need to emulate halftone? Adjust color gradation? The Hot Folder Editor lets users do
that and more as Kodak Proofing Software's hot folders provide flexibility to handling
users content.

19. Got a favorite roll of media? No problem! Kodak Proofing Software's Media Configuration
Wizard guides users through the process of characterizing their custom media to enable
them to use it in the Certified Process for Color Confirmation.

20. New Precision Color gives the best optimization for all colors measured from all iterations
and gives the tightest quality control. The Precision Calibration Wizard guides users
through the process of getting the tightest calibrations for their media. It can also perform
the process itself using Kodak Proofing Software's automated calibration and
measurement feature using inline spectrophotometers.
20

21. Got more than one proofer on the network? Kodak Proofing Software's Proofer Finder can
locate them all providing the user the ability to manage any proofer from a single location.
21

22. Users can track the status of their media calibrations using the Calibration Window in the
Proofer Viewer.

23. Users can stay on top of everything happening on a specific proofer hardware with the
help of the Event Viewer Window in the Proofer Viewer.

24. The Maintenance Panel in Kodak Proofing Software's Proofer Viewer gives users the
current status of their hardware, including ink levels and error status.
24

25. The Proofer Viewer gives the user the status of proofs that are lined up for printing. They
can see how proofs are grouped onto sheets and can manage proofer output using the
intuitive controls provided.
25

26. Accurate reports give the user a detailed view of device color performance over time.
26

27. Kodak Proofing Software gives the user cost savings through media usage optimization.
But if the user needs to arrange the proofs in their own way, they can use the Sheet Editor
to move the proofs around the sheet.
