Accurate proof predicting screen, color and content
Version 3.5
Released in June 2005

Founder EagleDot digital screen proofing produces digital contract proofs based on the same 1 bit TIFF created for your imagesetter (CTF) or platesetter (CTP). EagleDot contract proofs check for moiré interferences or rosette pattern to spot errors before the creation of CTP plates or CTF film.
EagleDot accurately predicts the color, content and screen dot of the final press output to allow the user to match proof and print. With lower chromatic aberration, the color quality of the proof meets European standards.

Digital proofing users have been suffering from system calibration and high cost of service for years. Using our easy-to-follow procedure and a spectrophotometer such as an X-Rite DTP41 or the Gretag eyeONE and Gretag ProfileMaker software, even a novice can build ICC Profiles and calibrate EagleDot to achieve professional results lower than 2 ?E.

Unlike the conventional way to re-calibrate the system manually, EagleDot provides a function which can automatically identify deviation from the original state and fix it, which ensures the consistency of the color proof quality and reduces service costs.

Founder EagleDot can be automated to accept 1 bit TIFF files through your network via AppleTalk, NT Pipe and Hot Folders. Hot folders can be individually configured to ensure accurate color, content and output media.
EagleDot supports most proofing systems from leading vendors such as Epson, HP, Canon and more.

ICC supported Color Management is provided with color adjustment tools to minimize ?E, which includes:

• Selective color adjustment
• Brightness & contrast adjustment
• Color tune curve control
• Ink hue adjustment
• Automatic spot color adjustment

Customers can minimize waste due to operator entry errors by using Founder's password protection feature for templates. Templates can be developed and then approved by the system supervisor. Approved templates are secured by password against unauthorized changes. Approved templates are used to ensure jobs are processed consistently with minimal operator errors.
EagleDot includes a Template Library system for secure permanent or temporary backup. Customers can recover from system crashes by simply reloading all producible templates.

Major improvements in EagleDot 3.5 include:

• Latest RIP core
• Support for ink hue
• Support for UV ink of HP design Jet 5000/5500
• Border/cut line:
  This new designed function simulates size and position of CTP plate with previewable and printable border/cut line on the proof.
• Added auto tiling function with overlay parameter setup
• Added plate replacement function, allows to use one plate color to replace another color (e.g. to print out Cyan plate as Magenta Plate)
• Optimized function of Color Tune
• More other improvements are made on the template manager, quality control strip, and device supported.

EagleDot 3.5 also provides demo version which runs without dongle. While the limitation is that it can only be operated for 100 times with water mark on the print. Maximum job format supported is 450*330mm.
