InkSmart
Automates what a prepress operator already does by hand.
InkSmart tunes color and ink for the specific press and substrate a job will run on — configurable, or skipped entirely when a file already comes calibrated.
- Skeleton black re-separation where the job calls for it.
- Cleans up small speckles and holes left inside separations.
- Dot gain compensation per channel, tuned to the press and substrate.
- Can replace the K channel with a spot ink when the job calls for it.
- Handles images already separated to spot inks (DeviceN), not just CMYK.

Every operation stays part of the Job.
Ink Remap, InkSmart, Preflight Fix and Trapping are optional — apply what a job needs, skip what it doesn't. Whatever runs (or doesn't) is recorded in that job's traceability, the same way Nala already tracks specifications, approvals and production output.
