Benefits

More profits

Increased production with the same amount of ink, shorter make-ready time, less paper waste, and more printed jobs per day.

Better quality, more vivid colors

With TGLC’s Smart GCR™, vivid colors are separated using less complementary colors while using more black for darker shades. Reds, for example, are made with less Cyan in darker shades. This makes reds less «dirty».

 

Up to 30% ink savings

GCR (Gray Component Replacement) and lower ink coverage are used to reduce the amount of ink needed to reproduce colors. GCR replaces a large amount of CMY inks with Black ink, in neutral and less saturated colors. So more Black, and less Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. Lower ink coverage allows you to limit the amount of CMYK ink used to create dark shadows while keeping the same maximum density. Total ink limit as low as 240 can usually reproduce original colors with no loss of color details and accuracy. In order to get the optimal ink savings, both factors (GCR and TIC) should be used simultaneously for CMYK separation or repurposing. It makes our printing industry more ecologically friendly.

Faster makeready

With less ink and better gray balance, makeready can be set up within minutes! Also, GCR helps to minimize color variations throughout the print run and lower ink coverage provides faster ink drying.
