CGS Oris | Ink Saver

In most printing companies, the cost of printing inks or toners is a significant part of the total cost of printing. Additionally, colour separations produced by different prepress suppliers can lead to instability in grey balance on the press when the complete job is printed.

ORIS Ink Saver is based on award-winning CGS color management technology and the advanced 4D gamut mapping algorithms for colour-managed, intelligent ink reduction.

In a one-step, automatic process, ORIS Ink Saver significantly reduces the CMY components for all printed elements, and optimises the black separation – while maintaining visual and colorimetric integrity.

Beyond Gray Replacement

ORIS Ink Saver goes far beyond ordinary Gray Component Replacement (GCR) and Under Colour Removal (UCR). CGS’ advanced algorithms process line work as well as image data, using a true CMYK-to-CMYK process to match the true colour appearance of the final piece. The process is also fully automated, using network hot folders. Once the optimum ink reduction level has been achieved, files are simply dropped into the appropriate hot folder and sent on to the RIP.
