APR, SpotOn Press announce newest software

The new SpotOn flexo upgrade is free to all current software users with a software support and maintenance agreement (SSMA) in place.

A central feature of the new SpotOn software is the ability to add spot color tone values (SCTV, a new ISO standard released in 2017). SCTV is a sought-after standard among flexo and printed packaging converters as it ultimately provides a better method for managing tint values for non-CMYK colors. With the addition of SCTV, converters have access to data for assessing and setting print impression across their full range of Pantone, spot and brand color requirements.

Catherine Haynes, director of training and digital solutions at APR, said: ‘APR is thrilled to once again be partnering with SpotOn Press in offering this important upgrade. Another key feature of this new version is the new measurement report. This new report incorporates a clear pass/fail indication with a visual LCH gamut map. Combined with the native job report, converters have multiple solutions for communicating and recording color and job information to assist with process control and production consistency.’
