Productionserver 25 — versatility, elevated
At the core, Productionserver 25 processes incoming files, applies ICC color conversions, generates halftone patterns through the Filmgate or Proofgate modules and outputs print-ready data to supported devices. Its screening algorithms maintain dot integrity for consistent, predictable results, with AM/FM/hybrid screening (adjustable angles and frequency), ink channel calibration for linearization, spot color simulation, device linking for cross-printer consistency and workflow automation for repetitive batch tasks. Version 25 adds advanced multipage PDF handling, improved proofing tools and the latest Adobe PDF Print Engine 6.4 for future-proof compatibility.
Filmgate — chemical-free halftone film output
Filmgate redefines film production with a completely chemical-free, inkjet-based workflow: create high-quality halftone films without exposure or development steps — saving time, reducing labour and improving workplace safety. Ideal for screen printing and flexographic workflows, it produces precise film separations with high-resolution dot control. In Version 25, Filmgate includes a built-in Output Management System (OMS) that supports all driver categories by default — simplifying setup and ensuring maximum compatibility out of the box — plus MIM (Media-Ink-Media) technology for easy spot color handling and screen customization.
Chemical-free films
High-quality halftone films via an inkjet workflow — no exposure or development, saving time, labour and improving safety.
Precise halftone control
High-resolution film output with accurate dot placement and AM/FM/hybrid screening for clean, consistent separations.
Built-in OMS (v25)
New Output Management System supports all driver categories by default — simpler setup, maximum compatibility out of the box.
MIM spot color handling
Media-Ink-Media technology makes spot color handling and screen customization easy across multiple printing methods.
Proofgate — certified digital proofing
Proofgate provides certified digital proofing for contract and validation proofs, using an ICC-accurate engine for precise color simulation and smooth tonal transitions. It is the reliable choice for color validation in prepress, with accurate simulation of real print conditions, the Device Link Profiler for consistent color management, and 1-Bit-TIFF input support. Version 25 makes proofing more automated, including full support for Epson printers with integrated measurement devices and new compatibility with the DYMO LabelWriter 550 for proof labels.
