The Next (Digital) Proofers

With the initial models, the loading of materials will be manual, with semi-automatic versions to follow in the future. Scitex estimates that it will take about 40 minutes to produce one eight-page proof.

The cost of proofs is estimated at $10 to $12.50 per page. Formal pricing has not been announced, but Scitex expects LotemProof to be a $12,000 option with all Lotem 800 and 400 models, available now. As a point of reference, the Scitex Lotem 800V machines range in price between $275,000 and $380,000, depending primarily on the capabilities of the Scitex Brisque front end.
