RJDA aiming to up standardisation with spend on pressSign software

RJ Design Associates (RJDA) has invested in the latest pressSign colour management software from Bodoni Systems in order to meet increasing demand from its clients for standardised printing.

The Derbyshire company, which started out as a design agency before expanding into photography, digital, wide-format and litho printing, bought the software from UK reseller Compose System.

Also included in the installation was Compose's Star Proof dot-structured proofing software, coupled with Epson inkjet technology.

Kevin Caughtry, UK and Ireland sales manager for Compose, said: "Bodoni's pressSign works on a traffic light basis for approval of the dot gain and densities based on ISO Standards: green for passed and red for failed, with an overall percentage score.

"There are some good graphical interfaces for colour space and dot gain with feedback on how to adjust the press to get a better score."

The installation marked RJDA's second purchase from Compose System, which supplied the company with its Express workflow early last year in order to improve its CIP3 file delivery.
