Performance of the first test of the project “OUT-PUT PRE-PRINT IMAGE INTERFACE”, a hardware/software system that enables ink consumption control and management through wallet card, in a large format digital printer. This, in turn, permits cost adjustment to pixels and colours, hence, in the prepress stage, i.e., before printing, each person knows the exact ink consumption in millilitres of a certain image. The collaborating partners in this research project are the dx5 group, INEDIT, the University of Vigo and BSCH.
