May 4, 2003 12:00 PM

Kodak Polychrome Graphics (KPG) (Norwalk, CT) announced the full commercial availability of its One Bit TIFF Interface (OBTi) for Matchprint Color RIP. OBTi allows customers to proof separated screened one-bit TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) files using their large format inkjet proofer. The combination of Matchprint Color RIP and OBTi lets customers implement a RIP Once Output Many (ROOM) workflow said to ensure color consistency and data integrity because proofs are produced from the same file used to generate plates.

KPG also announced the availability of a free application called TIFF Test. TIFF Test is available for download from www.kpgraphics.com/tifftest www.kpgraphics.com/tifftest and is an executable application that determines compatibility of a TIFF file with OBTi. Customers can download TIFF Test to evaluate their workflow compatibility with OBTi or to diagnose possible problems with a TIFF.

OBTi is compatible with multipage, multicolor (CMYK + 8) One Bit TIFF files created by Brisque, Presstek, ECRM, Prinergy, Agfa Apogee, and PCC workflows. OBTi supports TIFF 6.0, TIFF G3, TIFF G4, Packbit, LZW compressed TIFF and uncompressed TIFF files.
