DES has all the solutions at PacPrint 05

Visit PacPrint stand 939 to see DES demonstrating how it utilizes colour management software, workflow software, large format printers, proofing systems, copying and scanning equipment and consumables, to develop integrated solutions for today’s prepress and print industry professionals.

Serving the professional publishing, packaging, proofing, photographic, digital fine art and graphic art markets DES combines a diverse range of integrated products to create accurate, efficient and cost effective results.


Hard and Soft Proofing Solutions
DES will be demonstrating its diverse range of proofing solutions, including a recent addition to the vast product range – Quato Colour Accurate Intelli Proof Monitors from Germany.

Quato Intelli Proof displays are perfectly suited for all graphic professionals and have been developed with the demands of the graphic arts business in mind. The integrated direct USB-hardware calibration adjusts whitepoint, gamma and luminance with 30 bit precision, based on 36 bit numerics. The user friendly iColor Proof IP software is easy to use and makes the complete calibration process a snap. The sophisticated software and hardware – combined with the 30 bit color output – ensures highly precise soft proofs.

Other Exhibits include the latest large format Epson and Canon wide format printers, the Techsage Spinjet 5500, and the Roland SC545EX printer/cutter (pictured) will be running regular demos of proofing and die-cutting.


Workflow Solutions
DES will be demonstrating the EFI Colorproof XF's combination of power, flexibility, expandability and affordability that will meet your proofing needs today, and tomorrow. DES can show professionals that XF will enhance workflow through outstanding features such as:

Product Options give your installation the capability to manage spot colours, screened proofs, create your own profiles and much more. EFI Colorproof XF grows with your business.
