Variable Dot Printing for Off-Set Print
Matching
The UP-D9500 with variable dot printing
technology produces a print that is similar in
dot size, and finish to off-set printing. Ideal
for proofing layouts, image data, color and
off-set print work, variable dot printing is
accurate, consistent and economical.

Stable Color Reproduction
Consistent color reproduction is critical for
any proofing application. From remote
proofing applications with multiple matched
printers to a single in-house system, the UPD9500 delivers precise color registration and
color consistency by utilizing two unique
technologies: (1) a Sony Paper Chucking
Drum which establishes precise paper
registration during the printing process; and
(2) automatic ribbon lot compensation which
adjusts the printer for minor variation in media
production lots. These two unique features
coupled with the advanced design of the UPD9500 ensure consistent, accurate color prints,
print after print.

Flexible Color Matching
The UP-D9500 incorporates standard preset
color tables such as SWOP, Commercial,
JapanColor and EuroColor, ideal for press
color matching. Beyond these standard color
tables, you can achieve a precise simulation of
a target press by creating an original color
table. This is done measuring press proofs of
IT8.7/3 color patches via a spectrophotometer,
such as the Gretag Spectrolino & SpectroScan,
and downloading this table to the UP-D9500.
