The Systems in Detail
»JUST LED proofControl« – Revolutionary in-house development
While LEDs represent modern technology, its previously not been possible to meet the strict requirements for viewing conditions. JUST Normlicht has developed a diode control system (patent pending) capable of recreating the spectral properties of virtually any type of light and incorporated it into the new LED proofControl. JUST Normlicht has integrated seven different colored diodes in order to reproduce the entire spectrum as precisely and uniformly as possible and to allow for reliable and stable observation conditions for the life of the viewing booth. The result is a single booth that boasts more than 25000 hours of usage and that can recreate any type of light source, including D50, D65, CWF as well as the viewing conditions of a print buyers home. The new LED viewing booth features lights that are more efficient and more environmentally friendly than traditional systems and have a much longer life before losing any brightness. The new LED viewing booth is easily calibrated using the adJUST monitorCalibration software and a standard measurement device. The result is a powerful viewing tool, applicable for virtually all conditions and designed to evolve as softproofing and remote proofing applications become more commonplace.
