CIP3--A Giant and the Consortium

On the press side, the Heidelberg CPC32 program reads the CIP3 file created by PressGate and creates the resulting ink zone settings. This data can then be transferred to a flash memory card and inserted in the CPTronic console or transferred directly to the color console by the Ethernet network.

PressGate and CPC32 are currently in beta test and, in some cases, full implementation at commercial printing sites in England, Germany and the United States.
