7. Copyright © Global Graphics Software Limited 2016 Why Fundamentals? Press manufacturers face technical challenges in the development phase of a new inkjet press: • How do I build my DFE when I don’t have my own software team? • Or, I don’t want to resource up a team and then reduce back to maintenance • Is there an alternative workflow to Esko? • How do I ensure I can address the problems I haven’t even discovered yet? • How do I achieve sharp bar codes and small text? • What about ink estimation? • Do I have a solution for cross head calibration? Manufacturers have come to Global Graphics to help them fix their problems

8. Copyright © Global Graphics Software Limited 2016 Copyright © Global Graphics Software Limited 2016 • A bundle of best of breed products to accelerate digital inkjet label presses to market Plus • The BreakThrough engineering service of color scientists, screening experts, and RIP technologists with decades of experience What is Fundamentals?

10. Copyright © Global Graphics Software Limited 2016 How is Fundamentals used? Any workflow or RIPAny workflow or RIP • License what you need to address a specific problem • Take the full set to: • benefit from the essential components for building a DFE for a new press • have an alternative to an Esko workflow • Fundamentals and BreakThrough can be applied to an existing press to overcome common quality problems

12. Copyright © Global Graphics Software Limited 2016 Example: common quality issues Ink drops should ideally form a regular grid on the media Images are available on a USB stick in your press pack, and at our online press office They usually don’t You can see straight lines along the media (up and down), but uneven lines across the media You can see straight lines along the media (up and down), but uneven lines across the media

13. Copyright © Global Graphics Software Limited 2016 Example: common quality issues Irregular drop positioning leads to drops ‘randomly’ coalescing on the media: Images are available on a USB stick in your press pack, and at our online press office These microscopic effects cause visible artefacts, often described as mottling or streaking: Synthetic image with exaggerated artefacts in order to be visible on a projector, or reproduced on another print process
