The plate mounter notices a pinhole in the bitmap. They manually repair the file in Photoshop (dangerous) or dedicated bitmap editing software. Before committing to a new plate, they load the old and new TIFFs into Bitmap Viewer 10 and use the "Difference Mode" to highlight only the changed pixels, confirming the repair didn't alter adjacent artwork.
What do you primarily work with? (LEN, TIFF, PDF?) What printing process do you use? (Flexo, Offset, Gravure?) esko bitmap viewer 10
For packaging converters, flexo platemakers, and printers who cannot afford mistakes, Esko Bitmap Viewer 10 provides the ultimate peace of mind. It is the definitive tool to ensure that what was approved by the client is exactly what is printed. The plate mounter notices a pinhole in the bitmap
The built-in digital densitometer allows users to measure the exact dot percentage of any given area on the bitmap. It also includes precise distance measurement tools to verify technical marks, micro-text sizes, barcodes, and trapping distances. Integration in the Prepress Workflow What do you primarily work with
The ESKO Bitmap Viewer is a specialized, powerful quality control application designed for the rigorous demands of prepress and flexographic printing. Its primary function is to provide a digital, on-screen verification of rasterized files before they are committed to expensive output devices, such as plate-setters or flexo imagers. By allowing operators to inspect and analyze a file's rip data after the RIP (Raster Image Processor) stage, it ensures that only error-free data is processed further. This effectively minimizes costly press downtime, excessive material waste, and errors that might not be visible in a standard PDF proof.
Because Bitmap Viewer 10 handles files that can easily exceed several gigabytes when uncompressed, system optimization is critical.
Once verified, the files are safely released to hardware devices like the Esko CDI (Cyrel Digital Imager) for flexo plate making, or direct-to-plate (CtP) devices for offset. Why Version 10 Matters
