Blackmagic v9.1

The Serendipity Blackmagic product is a comprehensive software solution designed for modern print environments, focusing on flexibility, accuracy, and reliability across the entire printing workflow.

Color Management

• Achieves consistent, high-fidelity color with True 16-bit processing and ICC v4.2 compliance.
• Features Real Dot Technology to simulate actual press dots for accurate proofing.
• Supports CMYK, RGB, and Multicolor workflows with full spot color integration.
• Offers Unlimited Spot Libraries (Lab, CMYK, RGB, or multicolor) and RGB + Spot Color Support to preserve the gamut and dynamic range of RGB images while maintaining precise spot color accuracy.

Press RIP Integration

• Connects directly to platesetter RIPs, interpreting native file formats and imposition data.
• Includes Virtual Press Management for plate assembly, imposition, and job tracking.
• Features Automated Proofing via RIPMonitor polling and Job Genie for smart file name recognition and grouping of plates into complete, proof-ready jobs.

Color Verification & Spots

• Provides tools to certify color accuracy with Color Verified checks using $\Delta e$, $\Delta H$, and $\Delta Ch$ tolerances.
• Allows creation and measurement of Calcheck Charts for proof verification.
• Features Truespot Optimization, an intelligent iterative process to fine-tune and precisely match spot colors to press output on proofing media.
• Supports Lab (Multi) Spot Colors to define ink values across all tint levels (0% to 100%) for greater realism.

Soft Proofing (Option)

• Offers Color-Accurate Previews of press-matched proofs on-screen at full resolution.
• Includes integrated viewing tools for spreads, signatures, and ink channels, as well as an Ink Key Viewer.
• The Displays Application and monitor calibration ensure a trusted display environment.
• Features Proof Lock Compliance (with an add-on) to restrict soft proof access if a display is out of calibration, ensuring contract-standard results.

Printer Control & Workflow

• Provides real-time status monitoring, paper/media management, and advanced screening controls.
• Streamlines job submission using Drop Folders & Drop Areas for automated processing.
• Utilizes Jobtickets to store all job-specific settings (ICC, resolution, layout, verification) for reliable, repeatable results.

Studio & Layouts

• Automatic Nesting: Intelligently arranges jobs on the sheet to minimize media waste and cutting.
• Layout & Imposition: Easily manage and arrange multiple jobs on a single sheet.
• Tiling & Billboards: Splits oversized jobs into manageable sections with automatic overlap control.
• Templates: Save and reuse custom layouts for faster, consistent production.

System & Administration

• Offers robust management with Users & Permissions for secure, role-based access.
• Includes built-in tools for Data Backup & Restore of configurations and workflows.
• The Serendipity Updater ensures the system remains current with patches and driver updates.
