What can Black Magic do for you?
High volume proofing operations
Black Magic has the ability to group computers into clusters so jobs can be processed on different machines at the same time. Seeing multiple jobs imaging, three rendering, and a couple printing all at the same time is very impressive. Especially useful for high-volume production and quick turn- around sites, the clustering feature lets you use more than one computer to process jobs. A master machine determines how jobs are distributed across a cluster of networked Black Magic slaves so you never miss your deadlines again.
Remote proofing applications
Yes, newspapers can utilize Black Magic News Extra for remote proofing. When hi-res screened bitmaps are sent to remote satellite printing plants, Black Magic automatically sees the files with their naming conventions, stitches the individual plates together, applies color management using industry-compliant ICC profiles, and then outputs a proof. Utilizing the auto-proofing mode, proofs can be scaled and then nested together in multiples without any manual intervention.
Sales Team & Black Magic
By obtaining sign-off from major accounts on their hard copy proofs, compensation pay-outs and advertiser charge-backs are reduced. Advertisers see how their ad will print prior to going to press so there aren't any surprises with the color.

We wanted [a proofing solution] that was as accurate as we could get with our printing presses. We’re excited about how close we can achieve repeatability from proofer to proofer and maintain low Delta E. Matching the press as close as possible was a major concern and Black Magic has really allowed us to achieve that.
-The Wallstreet Journal
Black Magic fits into a newspaper workflow so therefore, if you’re using the raster image processors that you normally use, then Black Magic produces a very accurate proof of what your press can do after your process. Using the exact workflow is the closest way of actually producing the best results. It produces a form of preflighting as well.
-The Globe and Man
We can now generate in-house proofs that match those produced on the same systems at The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
