2. Pack Proof: accurate proofing of brand packaging
Imaging powered by Adobe PDF Print Engine
Integrated with Automation Engine
Let us now look at some Esko products which complement Color Engine, in the workflow
FlexProof is a contract proofing system optimized for brand packaging. Fully integrated with Automation Engine and with Color Engine for consistent ink information.
Esko patented color management has unparalleled accuracy in spot colors including overprints and tint breakdowns which are often hard to achieve on other systems. Its unique accuracy when proofing extended gamut has lead to it being chosen by major worldwide groups.
High quality color managed output is produced on Epson proofers. A broad range of paper and film substrates are supported
Quality proofs on paper and film
Patented Color Management
Option to connect to PantoneLIVE cloud

3. Color management in Pack Proof
Spectral data for spot color inks
Easily create from ink drawdown, ink profile. Import from CxF or PantoneLIVE
Spectral overprint model for spot color inks
Refinement tool that retains the benefits of spectral modeling
Expanded gamut profiles with high accuracy
Exchange of data with 3rd party systems
Import/export ICC profiles, CGATS, CxF (v3)

4. Pack Proof strengths Integrated Accurate
with Color Engine (consistency)
Integrated with Automation Engine (workflow)
Accurate
Excellent proofing of spot colors, including overprints
Unique proofing of multi-color process MCPP
for digital print (simulation workflow)
There are a number of color proofing solutions on the market so the customer has alternatives to FlexProof. Compared with other solutions, our key advantages are the integration of color information and greater color accuracy in some key areas of importance to brand packaging.
Familiarize yourself with the Color Engine presentation on EskoPlanet. Brand owners that look for color consistency in their supply chain are implementing the PantoneLIVE workflow which includes FlexProof and other Esko tools at designers and pre-press companies.
Esko color management is the only accurate solution for proofing of MCPP extended gamut. Also a simulation workflow can be set up for the HP Indigo, using the same color technology on press and proofer

5. Pack Proof: optimized for brand packaging
Focus on Epson inkjet proofers
Epson 4900/7900/9900 for paper
Epson WT7900 for foil
Models are a good fit for packaging
