Where offset has a total ink limit of around 350%, digital printing has a lower limit of
around 280%. This requires images to have UCR or GCR applied either at the time of
scanning, or when they are RIPped. If you scan images with UCR, do so with a maximum
ink limit of 280%. The Creo and Fiery RIPs used with the DocuColor 2000 Series will
automatically apply ink reductions to jobs when RIPping and limit ink to 280% (or any
other amount with the Creo). This ink reduction does not affect image quality.
Note that the total ink limit refers to the maximum amount of ink or toner in any given
area on the paper, such as in a black area. To calculate, add together the CMYK dot
percentage values in the darkest area in the image, eg, C96, M88, Y88 and K75 =
96+88+88+75 = 347%. The theoretical maximum is 400% (100% each of C, M, Y and K).
Image area, bleeds and folds
The maximum sheet size the DocuColor 2045 and 2060 will accept is 320 x 488 mm,
however this is a non-standard sheet size and not readily available (it must be cut to
order). SRA3 – 320 x 450 mm – is the most commonly used sheet with a maximum
image area of 312 x 442 mm.
