These enhancements make it easier to prepare print-ready files with consistent visual quality. For operations working with extended gamut printing, ZePrA 13 offers new tools that enhance both quality and efficiency. The software now supports on-the-fly SaveInk profile creation for multicolour workflows, with selectable savings levels.
