CIP4 Server
Mitsubishi's ColorLink CIP4 server takes the automation of the makeready process to new levels of sophistication. The Mitsubishi CIP4 system manages the flow of makeready data from any CIP4-compliant front-end system, creating a seamless digital bridge between Mitsubishi presses and electronic prepress. The result for printers who have made the leap to computer-to-plate is sharper dot structure, increased throughput, reduced labor and material costs and production that is less prone to error.
