ProofMaster Certify

Product Info

Standards-compliant color proofing made easy 

With the print industry fast moving towards a high level of standardization, the time is ripe to implement standards compliancy in your print workflow. ProofMaster Certify takes your color confidence to the next level by guaranteeing the files you process fully match the latest color standards.

Out of the box contractual quality 

ProofMaster Certify is so easy to set up that you will be producing industry-standard certified proofs within minutes. It comes with all the necessary color profiles to create ISO 12647 compliant proofs straight out of the box on specific sets of quality PerfectProof, Fogra certified contract proofing papers. ProofMaster Certify also includes Enfocus Certified PDF® technology, allowing it to recognize preflighted and Certified PDFs. The partnership with Enfocus software also creates a link between the file and the proof by writing the same unique identification code on the proof and in the Certified PDF, thus excluding any discussion on which proof was created from which file.

Flexibility without the premium price

Unique in the market, ProofMaster Certify offers proofing on any size of printer from A3 to A1 at the same price and without sacrificing quality.

Automation for higher productivity

The optional ProofMaster Flux, an automation platform linking different applications together, allows you to fully automate the preparation and quality control of your files all the way to production. ProofMaster Certify's flexibility and automation provide optimal productivity at a market-beating price. With standards compliant color and full traceability, ProofMaster Certify delivers what proofs are intended for: highly accurate communication between the different partners in the production flow.
