Creo and DuPont Imaging Technologies today announced that they are initiating new joint development and sales activities in color proofing. DuPont Imaging Technologies will deploy its well-recognized DuPont CromaNet colour management, together with DuPont Cromalin ink and media, on the Creo Veris proofer.

Work is underway to complete development of this Cromalin Veris proofing solution, which will be available through DuPont sales channels. “The Creo Multi-Drop Array imaging technology used on the Veris proofer delivers precise control of its 3 pL ink drops to produce superior-quality inkjet printing,” explained Paolo A. Barbieri, global business director, DuPont Color Communication.

The innovation is to create a high level of image quality and colour accuracy that, when associated with the finest Cromalin colour management and media, will offer a high-level contract proofing solution.

The Veris proofer produces a controlled stream of precisely-formed and placed drops at 1500 x 1500 dpi, for repeatable proofs that are accurate predictors of the final printed job.

Creo will continue to sell Veris proofing solutions, complete with Creo ink and media and direct connectivity to Creo Prinergy and Brisque prepress workflows, through Creo sales channels. DuPont Imaging Technologies and Creo are also starting evaluation of a new version of the DuPont Cromalin b2 drop-on-demand inkjet proofer that will be integrated with Creo workflow, colour management and consumables.
