(pr) In the second half of 2005, a high-quality inkjet proofing system from PerfectProof was installed in the advertising department of IKEA in Finland. The new system enables fast and reliable proofing of all newspaper ads according to ISO standards, significantly reducing time and dependence on external suppliers.
The solution, installed by Helsinki-based PrePress Center Oy, consists of an Epson Stylus PRO 4000 A2 inkjet printer with PerfectProof's ProofMaster Folio software RIP and includes the FOGRA/UGRA Certified Proof option. For press proofing, IKEA opted for the recently launched PerfectProof Newsprint Proofing Paper, an inkjet printer paper specifically designed for newspaper print simulation.
From IKEA's perspective, the new solution enables the complete in-house production and proofing of mainly newspaper advertisements without the need for an external service provider. The new PerfectProof Newsprint Proofing Paper delivers very precise proofing results and significantly reduces the time required to produce advertisements. Proofs can be easily certified to the ISO 12647-3 standard with the proof certification option. With no optical brighteners and up to 40 % recycled fibers, the paper is also environmentally friendly.
"We never thought it possible that newspaper ads could be simulated with such precision and in such a simple way. The installation and training by Miika Lammela at PrePress Center Oy was very professional and the support is excellent," says Kimmo Ylonen from the marketing department at IKEA Finland.
PerfectProof's Managing Director Mark Verbist adds: "It is a very rewarding task to provide this solution for IKEA in Finland. It was clear to us that there would be no room for compromise in terms of proof quality. It was therefore a real pleasure to work with a customer who puts quality first.
