It can be integrated in any digital prepress workflow. Richard Barham of Agfa Graphics’ marketing, says that while Agfa continues to develop and manufacture its own UV curable and other inks for the industrial printing market, the company prefers Epson’s technology to complete its portfolio with certified printers.
“This enables us to offer a system that meets the requirements of the graphic arts industry for hard copy proofing for all our customers,” he says.
Marketing director for Pro-Graphics Epson Europe, Duncan Ferguson says: “With :SherpaProof solutions, printing companies gain the benefit of combined expertise from two technology leaders.”
:SherpaProof is integrated into Agfa’s :ApogeeX prepress production software. It uses Agfa’s SherpaProof base on Agfa certified Epson Stylus Pro colour printers with Epson UltraChrome K3 inks for hard copy proofing.
