Barrel Proofing
Trial and Mock-ups for Real Effect
One of the main challenges to our customer in turning an artwork into print is always the question of design machine-ability. “Can the design and its effects be achieved on prints?” This is the constant question of concern to our client’s product development and marketing team and we understand these concerns.
This gives our client a R&D platform in our premise and we have the skill people to help project manage this task. Capitol’s Barrel Proofing [BP] which is 85 ~ 90% closer to actual print. We have electrostatic system installed on the barrel proofing so that dot missing can be avoided and transfer can be better.
Capitol works very closely with ink manufacturers for right solutions. During the barrel proofing key stake holders including inks manufacturer, printer, designer and packaging in charge from the company are present to approve the job. All pre-works before finalisation of design, reviews, ink specifications substrate are meticulously studied and approved depending on the types of finishes and effects required.
All multinationals give high importance to Barrel Proofing and actual cylinders are only manufactured If the results of Barrel Proofing are closer to standards required.
Emboss Tension Proofing
Designed and manufactured by our own Capitol factory, the first of its kind Rotary Emboss Tension Proofer.
Usually printers at the press-room have to struggle to match the embossing effect on the press-sheet, adjusting settings on a running press and seeing a unsatisfactory differences between the web direction leading and tailing of an emboss element.
This rotary emboss tension proofer may probably the first in the world.
It gives opportunity to correct the factors of the undesirable effects first hand before the emboss roller were even shipped, minimizing and hopefully eliminating embossed tactile height difference between the web leading and tailing edge.
Mock-up Simulation
One of the main challenges to our customer in turning an artwork into print is always the question of design machine-ability. “Can the design and its effects be achieved on prints?” This is the constant question of concern to our client’s product development and marketing team and we understand these concerns.
