ColorLogic GmbH, a subsidiary of Hybrid Software Group, announces the release of ZePrA 11 Smart Color Server. The new software version focuses on optimizing and automating printing data to deliver smoother Multicolor workflows and high-quality spot color conversions for better sustainability.

The Minimize Output Channel feature is the standout improvement of ZePrA 11.

This feature automatically adjusts to process multiple jobs with different spot colors.

The advanced spot color conversion methods is further improved for enhanced accuracy, including methods for achieving a visual match and using the least number of channels. Additionally, a new Prefer CMYK feature is now available, which allows spot colors to be converted to the CMYK component of a Multicolor profile. This is especially helpful when using the Minimize Output Channel option.
