Improve your Print Quality while reducing your Print Costs even more with our unique Dynamic DeviceLinksTM Technology So how does it work? “Dynamic color management applies the principles of highly sophisticated color management and quality control to standard PDF based workflows. The software analyzes individual PDFs to evaluate each PDF components, identifying all elements, their color description and color spaces. Each object within a PDF is then analyzed for its CMYK surface and ink consumption. Page images with a large area of black obviously have a different color management requirement and printability constraints than those with a large area of a pale color. This surface approach is the basis for the Dynamic Total Area Coverage (DTAC) . These three evaluation criteria plus the output destination color space or press profile are the basis for the
creation of the needed devicelink profiles. With Alwan technology, color transformations and optimization are based on the actual PDF content and output process capabilities, thereby adding a whole new dimension to color management and creating amazing opportunities for quality and cost efficiency improvements. The technology works in all print environments including gravure, flexo, offset and digital printing. Because this software works using page based analysis, rather than being a single process, it is ideal for managing color quality and costs for variable data applications. This is interesting for a range of new printing applications produced on demand and increasingly via websites.” Laurel Brunner, Managing Director, Digital Dots

The Alwan Edge Alwan’s unique strength is in its ability to apply color science to industrial applications, combining colorimetry and printability constraints of modern and global workflows. The flagship product is CMYK Optimizer, which was originally created to help users standardize and optimize CMYK separations. The software enhances print quality and reduces printing costs through file optimization and customization, requiring less time and ink to print a job. When it introduced CMYK Optimizer at Drupa 2004, Alwan was the first company to offer a software to analyze and standardize color separations in order to simultaneously optimize ink usage and color quality on press. CMYK Optimizer is the first and most mature technology of its kind for general market use and it defines a whole new direction for color management software development.
A unique network of Experts Alwan is a strong partner and supporter of KEE Consultants, an international network of independent industry experts who promote, contribute to the development of, and implement Graphic Arts Industry Standards including ISO 12647. KEE Consultants provides the industry with a global resource center for color, workflow and print consultancy, training and services. KEE Consultants can provide you with pre-sales assistance, workflow integration, training, and technical support for color management solutions and ISO Standardization.

What our customers say about us... “The results were unprecedented; a customer delight!” Howie Swerdloff, VP of prepress - Sandy Alexander “We were looking for a solution to be able to print the Pirelli calendars in the best possible conditions. Alwan CMYK Optimizer proved to be the ultimate tool to achieve optimal print quality and delivered a near perfect proof match, at the same time reducing print costs,” Sergio Brunelli, head of prepress and offset quality control at Mondadori Printing “We recommend the use of CMYK Optimizer, because it addresses a real need for standardization of file separations. For us, it’s the perfect complement to our standardization services and ISO 12467 certification. You can not have standardized printing without standardized data.” Erwin Widmer – Managing Director, UGRA.
