This update increases the color gamut therefore improves the quality of proofs especially when used in conjunction with the Xenith Inkjet Color Management module and ICC profiles. The Xenith product line is based on the Adobe RIP and comes in four levels from a basic RIP to a full prepress workflow.

The improvement in the quality of proofs is significant,” explains R. Patrick French, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
