With the world of newspaper publishing constantly challenging itself to improve color quality and printing efficiency, getting the edge on your competitors can be a moving target.

Designed specifically for newspapers and newspaper advertising, the Cyclone Digital Proofer does just this. It delivers true contract proofs, both local and remote, faster, more cost effectively, more efficiently and more accurately than any other digital proofer on the market.

Day after day, edition after edition, the Cyclone Digital Proofer can precisely reproduce the original screening information directly onto newsprint, in a dramatically reduced timescale over traditional
chemical proofs.

It means later deadlines with no compromise in color quality, bringing
financial benefits to newspapers that have lost revenue when printed haven’t matched their contract proofs.

High productivity and low running costs in a flexible and upgradeable proofing solution ensures a future-proofed investment that guarantees headline-grabbing results way ahead of the competition.

  Newsprint-accurate – profiled to any newspaper press, heatset or coldset, prints directly onto newsprint paper
  Prints Imagesetter/CTP plates – Cyclone Fidelity prints CTP files retaining dot structure and screening information
  Easy to use – intuitive GUI displaying live previews & preflighting of jobs .
  High production at low cost – prints broadsheet Newsprint proof in 3 minutes
  Identical Remote proofs – unique calibration software which provides consistent print results regardless of location
  Flexibility – upgradeable to drive a combination of other digital proofing devices, both copiers and inkjet printers
