Once again Éditions Cercle d’Art (Paris) have entrusted us with an exciting project, full of technical challenges. After analyzing each and every one of the works that appeared in the 1962 edition, we proposed to Bernard Champeau from Éditions Cercle d’Art (Paris) to print the new edition with the combination of the technique of the multi-colour-RGB and printing to our new Speedmaster LED UV, creating a specific profile for the chosen paper, for the exit of the EPSON tests by Les Caméléons - Artisans de l'image and a specific profile for the machine and the inks.

The sequence was:

Digitize the images from the 1962 book in our Paris workshop, at the company of our group Las Caméléons – Artisans de l’Image, with a scanner IQ QUATTRO 4450.

We created a specific ICC profile for the new UV LED machine, the inks used and the paper chosen, the 350g Old Mill Bianco by Fedrigoni. At the same time we created the output profiles for multicolour incorporating all the profiles described above for the EPSON printer, and the ISO 12647 uncoated or Fogra 47 L proof paper from Les Caméléons as well as the plug in GMG Opencolor for colour retouching.

In the workshop of Les Caméléons, the photographic retouching and the presentation of completely certified proofs were carried out before printing.

Once the customer’s approval had been obtained, it was possible to print out a guarantee that the test result signed by the customer and the result on the machine were identical.

The result is an almost impeccable reproduction of openings made in linography with the most innovative technology in printing that we can obtain in the market today: printing by means of multichrome-RGB in a last generation UV LED machine.
