HighWater Designs Image Viewer - HWRoam   HWRoam is an efficient and effective soft proofing system that allows users of the Torrent or any Harlequin PC RIP to view and approve output on screen prior to imaging. With the addition of this advanced piece of technology your clients will be able to view and approve the job before it is output. HWRoam offers essential flexibility, enhancing and improving the pre-press workflow. The Harlequin RIP’s internal PageBuffer format on PC RIP’s or TIFF images can be viewed locally or on remote workstations, which will reduce costly interruptions and improve the overall efficiency of the proofing process.

HWRoam will display a single separation or recombine two or more separations into a colour image, this can then be roamed and magnified to view the halftone dots. It will handle viewing of spot colours and can highlight where those colours are overlaid for inspection of trapping, an additional aspect of HWRoam that is further enhanced when used in conjunction with software such as the In-RIP trapping solution TrapPro. Such attention to detail makes HWRoam an indispensable tool in maintaining the cost-effective running of your company, a reality that will make wasted plates a thing of the past.

HWRoam is an ideal tool to add to your Harlequin RIP and complements HighWater’s established PixelProof PC Print Server, which is optimised for producing highquality colour managed proof prints on inkjet printers.
By offering these facilities at an easily affordable price, client, colleague and customer can inspect a ripped job simultaneously, away from the RIP workstation.

We at HighWater are confident that the return on this diminutive investment will be visible in a matter of weeks, making HWRoam the most effective practical solution to saving you valuable time and money.

HighWater Designs Image Viewer – HWRoam HWRoam Key Features:
• Produce on-screen proofs from colour-separated jobs, including spot and Pantone colours.
• Open groups of PageBuffers or TIFF separations, recombining to full colour on-screen.
• Inspect images using a full-range antialiased zoom with the ability to zoom in to view screen dots.
• Highlight traps and overprints in a user-selectable colour and view them at a wide range of magnifications.
• Produce on-screen progressive proofs and investigate two-colour trapping by turning the view of individual separations on and off.
• Quickly open and view images using fully interruptible multipass display. So you get a coarse view quickly, which is then refined, but you can apply other operations such as zooming while the image is still being updated.
• Rotate the image being viewed in 90-degree steps, for ease of viewing imposed jobs.
• View single or multiple TIFF or PageBuffer separations on the RIP platform or a remote PC or TIFF separations from a Macintosh.* (* Requires Macintosh to PC file sharing.)
• Automatically identifies separation colours, including spot colours, from separation names using rules you can specify.
• Maintains an editable list of standard Pantone and user-defined spot colours.
• Edit the colour used to display each separation.
• Control the amount of RAM versus disk cache used to generate the soft proof.
