DLS Virtual proofStation

Specifications

The DLS Virtual proofStations have all you need for the modern soft proof workflow. From dimmable and switchable D50/D65 LED luminaire, monitor rails, all the way to a pull-out keyboard and a USB interface – they come with everything for reliable colour matching from prepress to press. In addition to the regular colour matching station, the Virtual proofStations are also available as desktop solutions and side-by-side versions. The latter permit parallel viewing of multiple or large printed sheets. Choose the station that suits your needs.
