In an exhaustive evaluation of ink-saving technologies, the world’s leading ink optimization software systems were put through a series of tests designed to assess their ink saving capabilities, as well as educate printers and print buyers on the use, benefits and pitfalls of ink optimization software.
Ink optimization software works by reducing the amount of CMY inks required to produce a color, replacing them with black ink. The 2010 Ink Optimization Roundup study, led by Dr. Abhay Sharma, Ryerson University, and Ben Starr, compared ink optimization systems to assess their capabilities in total ink reduction, color change, stability on press and file integrity.
