PressMarts | Industry eCatalog - Printing & Publishing : Shinohara SNET System, The S-NET system makes on-demand printing possible by providing an integrated way to manage every stage of the printing process, from prepress and make-ready to actual printing. With the S-NET system, it is also possible to assure consistency and quality, by using standardized data and comparing panted sheets to target data throughout a run. S-NET's digital technology results in streamlined operations, higher quality, and increased profits． Shinohara was one of the first members of CIP-3 (the "International Cooperation for Integration of Pre-press, Press and Post-press"), a group formed to create a standard digital format for communicating data related to prepress, press and postpress printing operations. One product of this commitment，the Shinohara CIP-3 Station，provides the most convenient means of rapidly setting ink-key apertures in print runs based on PPF(Print Production Format) fi1es. Acting as a "translator" between a workstation and the printing press，the CIP-3 Station converts the PPF data into the proper digital format and passes it on to the Shinohara printing press. In response，the press automatically calibrates ink-key apertures. In addition to simplifying initial setup，this method makes it possible to save data from the CIP-3 Station to an operation console. As a result，setting ink-key apertures in repeat jobs is a snap. In ways like this，Shinohara and the CIP-3 will continue to transform the world of printed media. System requirements -Windows NT 4.0 service pack3 ( or Windows2000) - Pentium II 266MHz or greater - 128MB of available RAM - 65MB of available hard-disk space - Video Card or Interface (4MB or greater) - Serial com port - CD-ROM drive - Ethernet Card or Interface - Color Monitor Specifications and features of the products are subject to change without prior notice. Specifications may differ depending on printing quality and operatiing environment. Shinohara Pre-Inking System (SPIS) functions to get ideal amount of ink film on all inking rollers before actual printing. With the SRIM or theShinohara CIP3 station the SPIS can dramatically reduce the press make ready time and operator's task. Only thing operator has to do is to press the start button, then the ideal ink film is automatically established on all ink rollers by the SPIS and also ideal ink key apertures are automatically setup by the SRIM or the Shinohara CIP3 station.

Specifications and features of the products are subject to change without prior notice. Specifications may differ depending on printing quality and operatiing environment. The Shinohara Color Control Station (SCCS) is at the heart of a closed-loop system that helps to ensure consistent color densities over the course of a print run. To prevent unnecessary color shifting, a color control bar on the target proof is scanned before） the start of print job，and used as a Standard against which to compare color density throughout the run．Comparisons are made at the SCCS using a sensitive peripheral device known as an Auto Tracking Spectrophotometer（ATS）（Not included in SCCS）．Compensation data Calculated based on the differences in color density is processed at the PC and passed to the operation console. Compatible Shinohara printing presses respond to this compensation data automatically，adjusting ink-key apertures to maintain proper color densities． Auto Tracking Spectrophotometer（ATS） ATSimgThe SCCS makes use of an ATS unit manufactured by X-Rite Corporation. This device is capable of measuring a color bar in seconds，and showing an operator which areas on the printed sheet are experiencing color shift. Even the specific keys in need of adjustment are identified. The ATS unit can also be configured to account for variation in paper color over the course of a print run． System requirements -Scanning system (selectable) - X-Rite,ATS system - X-Rite,ATD system REMARK : X-Rite ATS (ATD) system in not included in SCCS - Windows NT 4.0 service pack3 - Pentium II 266MHz or greater - 128MB of available RAM - 560KB of available hard-disk space - Serial com port - CD-ROM drive - Ethernet Card or Interface
