As ink prices continually escalate, you may find yourself looking for new, less expensive ways to produce your publications with the same integrity and quality you, your readers, and your advertisers are accustomed. Ink-Miser revives your printed pages with improved print quality while saving the expense of costly ink.
How? You ask. In simple terms, Ink-Miser locates all the places on a page where the cyan, magenta, and yellow equal a color of grey. In those areas, the system replaces those colors with less expensive black ink.
The modified images are nearly unnoticeable to the human-eye. Publishers see immediate results. By comparing optimized plates to un-optimized ones, publishers can measure the amount of ink used on each press run in dollars per impression and analyze the quality of the pages.
