Colour separation & ink coverage report

Turn any normalised PDF into a full A3 separation report: composite preview, ink coverage per colour and a thumbnail for every plate.

What it does

The Separation / Ink Report turns a normalised PDF into the report a prepress desk reaches for before a job goes to plates: a composite preview, ink coverage per separation and a thumbnail of every plate, laid out on a single A3 sheet. It answers the question everyone argues about, how many colours is this really, and puts a number on coverage so ink can be ordered and cost can be worked out. It is the exact report a working platemaking studio runs on its own jobs, yours to try for 7 days with no card, straight in the browser with nothing to install.
