October 7, 2005: Kayell Australia has released a new series of viewing stations for large prints that meet the ISO 3664 Viewing Standard criteria.
Developed by GTI Graphic Technology for professional imaging applications, VPI viewing stations are designed to provide consistent and accurate lighting for inspecting large format digital prints. They combine Graphiclite 100 Color Viewing Lamp output, aluminised high efficiency reflectors and spectrally neutral, non-yellowing diffusers to ensure viewing conditions that meet the ISO 3664 Viewing Standard. Images up to 60 inches in width are displayed semi-vertically within the viewing station. The observer, standing at a comfortable distance, can take in the entire image for visual comparison with a colour monitor image, colour transparency, or reference print.
The new GTI VPI (Vertical Print Inspector) units are available in three standard sizes: ­ models VPI-40 (40 ² x 45.25 ² viewing area), VPI-52 (52 ² x 45.25 ² viewing area), & VPI-64 (64 ² x 45.25 ² viewing area). Each unit comes with the LiteGuard II viewing system monitor, which indicates when unit is warming up and when the lamp needs replacement. The addition of an optional lower light source provides better evenness of light on the printed piece (Models VPI-40x, VPI-52x, or VPI-64x). For critical soft-proofing, the VPI-SP series also accommodates a computer and monitor, with variable intensity for optimal match to monitor. Other options include Variable Intensity for soft-proof comparisons, Height-Adjustable Artwork Holder to support three dimensional artwork, and Side Walls for stricter control of ambient light.
