SolidTune

Print optimization software

Take a leap in productivity with ECO3’s new SolidTune software which sets new standards in offset production. By introducing a quality-improvement step into the rendering process, this intelligent tool will accelerate your business and set you apart from the competition.

SolidTune is a new breakthrough software solution that delivers savings in ink by an average of 3% in offset printing to meet demands for cost-effective and sustainable production methods. A unique algorithm optimizes solids and text after screening, before platemaking. By lowering ink consumption, reducing unwanted downtime, and enabling faster press speeds, printers will reap considerable productivity gains and a competitive advantage with SolidTune.

SolidTune types of print
  • Perfect for offset packaging printers

    They can produce boxes and displays with the benefit of a much faster drying process, which means less costs on warehousing and faster delivery

  • Perfect for heatset offset printers

    Thanks to SolidTune, they will use less energy for drying, making the production of books, magazines, catalogs, flyers and commercial print cheaper and more sustainable.

  • Perfect for coldset offset printers

    Coldset offset printers who produce newspapers and paperback books will see ink usage drop, fewer web breaks and less see-through. SolidTune allows you to print on thinner paper, which will reduce costs.

We were already achieving a significant reduction in ink use with SPIR@L screening, but this improved even more when we included the SolidTune option. The print quality has also been enhanced: the contrast is now much better, the details are sharper, and the text much crisper, plus shine-through of black is visibly reduced.

Lower ink consumption by 3%

Reduce the amount of ink needed to achieve the same high print quality, with tightly controlled patterning in the solids and text.

Best-in-class image quality

Using unique edge protection, the algorithm leaves the edges of dots intact for a crisper cleaner print.

Cleaner printing

With less chance of fibers being plucked from the top paper layer and sticking to the ink roller, you can ensure the print result looks its absolute best.

Speed up production

With SolidTune, presses can run faster and the ink dries quicker, which means you can move to finishing sooner. This improves productivity while significantly reducing your energy consumption and overall costs. SolidTune also helps reduce the number of paper web breaks and unwanted downtime

Compatible with SPIR@L screening

SolidTune works optimally in conjunction with ECO3 SPIR@L screening technology for additional savings on ink. Simply choose the option as the final step in the rendering process.
