PrintPreview G8

HELIOS PrintPreview G8

is a versatile content and color-proofing solution that delivers certified soft proofing, hard proofing, and annotation workflows for documents and images. It is easy to use in any web browser throughout the design, review, and production process.

FograCert Certifled Soft Proof

confirms accurate proofs that simulate the Fogra39 printing process on a proofing monitor. Certification of the complete solution covers the monitor, software, measurement devices, ICC profiling, and viewing lightbox.

Proof Printing of Single Pages

is supported directly from the web browser on mainstream inkjet printers – no RIP required. The print simulates the specified printing process. The local printer ICC profile must be assigned to achieve matching proofs. Print control strips can be specified.

Annotation Workflow

enables hierarchical discussions among different users (e.g., staff, partners, customers) while reviewing PDFs, and images throughout the production process. Annotations are maintained across multiple document versions.

Sophisticated Color Rendering

is performed on the server. An ICC color-matched RGB page is presented as a soft proof or hard proof in the web browser. It delivers accurate proofs with support for in-RIP separations, transparencies, overprint, shadings, DeviceN, and spot colors.

PrintPreview extends HELIOS WebShare with these proofing and annotation capabilities. In addition, it can generate proofs of any print job on the local network by acting as a virtual printer and saving the rendered proof pages as a PDF.
