Spot-Nordic has years of experience from selling preset and closed-loop solutions for offset printing.

It is very important for Printers to realize that even if they have a preset and even a closed loop system on their printing press does not mean that they are in the clear. The fact is that many of those systems simply don't work as they should - perhaps because they are old and perhaps because no one knows how to use them.

A good press preset in worth it's weight in gold and will safe Printshops a lot of money.

A well functioning closed loop system on top will enable printers to tweak their preset to always minimize the
time they spend pr. make-ready and the number of virgin sheets they waste pr. make-ready and at the same time increasing the quality in production, opening the door to offering printing to universal standards such as ISO 12647, which is important to bigger and more demanding customers that require consistency in their marketing.

    Printing of SMS colours in CMYK = Colour printing to ISO 12647 standards

    The Rutherford Preset & Closed Loop is SMS READY.

    This means that it is verified to enable consistent printing according to ISO 12647, which is exactly what is required to print the 5.214 colours of the Spot Matching System (see www.spotmatchingsystem.com) in standard CMYK on offset presses.

    When it comes to 4 colour jobs, Printers that order a Rutherford Preset & Closed Loop solution via Spot-Nordic are entitled to 4 years of free SMS READY badges for their respective process for the respective press, worth EUR 600 pr. year - be it to confirm precision printing of SMS colours to Fogra or GRACOL standards - or even both, along with a remote crash course in what is required to print the entire range of 5.214 SMS colours correctly everytime without a worry in the world - see further information for Printers on the Spot Matching System here    .

    This of course also means that SMS colours are simply a part of CMYK layouts and all photographs and graphics within the layout are also colour correct to ISO 12647 standards. This is very important in our times when margins are getting smaller and competition harsh and there is simply not time for Printers to play the piano to try to adjust colours on press. The show must go on and the press must be kept running.

    Printing to ISO standards means that during make-ready the Printer simply adjusts the density to what it is supposed to be according to the ISO standard, makes sure the form is in register and then presses the green run button.

    The customer, who has approved the job to be printed according to that ISO standard will have a very difficult time complaining about a thing, so reprints due to colour issues will be a thing of the past in most cases.
