Color Matching
The RYOBI PDS / PDS-E Spectro / PDS-E Spectro AUTO
measure the color bar of the printed sheet using special sen-
sors in a spectrophotometer (densitometer is used for PDS-E
and PDS-E AUTO). Values needed to correct color densities to
match those of the OK sheet are calculated and provided as
feedback to the RYOBI Printing Control System which, in turn,
makes appropriate adjustments in the openings of the ink
fountain keys.

Printing Density Control System
The RYOBI 3404X-DI and 3404E-DI provide powerful sup-
port for color management, enabling creation of ICC profiles
for color matching and quality control. Two color matching
methods are available: to match the color of proofer with the
color of 3404X-DI and 3404E-DI and to match the color of
3404X-DI and 3404E-DI with the color of proofer or other
printing presses.
RYOBI PDS-ProEPrinting Density Control System with Color Profile Setter
Ink Control
Image area ratio data is calculated by Ink Volume Setter soft-
ware using the PostScript data created on Macintosh or Win-
dows computers and then converted by using the RYOBI
PCS-L, PCS-G, PCS-H, PCS-JX, PCS-K or PCS-F Printing
Control System to preset the
ink fountain keys. Plus, with
Ink Volume Setter-CIP4 (PPF)
software, image area ratio data
can be calculated from PPF
files.

Image Area Calculating Software
RYOBI Program Inking automatically supplies ink to ink rollers
to match the image from the early start of printing. After the set
number of prints are finished, the ink on the rollers is automati-
cally restored to an even state, allowing the operator to pro-
ceed quickly to the next job.

The RYOBI Print Job Manager connects RYOBI printing
presses in a network to perform centralized production sched-
ule management by optimally assigning job data to each
press. It also gathers real time information on operating status
and automatically generates productivity assessment data for
each press.
MIS Connection Software for
CIP4-JDF enables real-time ex-
change using the CIP4-JDF
data format for sharing job di-
rection data (including job
name, number of printing sheet, paper size) and production
data (including the printing start time, end time, and number of
printed sheet) between the MIS (Management Information
System) and printing control system.

RYO-BI is working to create a truly prosperous future through its environmental preservation and conservation ef-forts and also via its contributions to society.
RYOBI dedicates considerable effor t not only to enhancing the quality of our products, but also to their environmental impact throughout their life cycle, from production to final disposal.
Cylinders are treated by thermal spraying and powder coating. CAD and CAE are used to reduce the weight of components and extend the life of the overall equipment.
Environmental considerations include the use of inverters for energysavings, special chains for reduced operation noise, and various automation and labor-saving devices for conserving both en-ergy and resources, as well as waterless printing (RYOBI 3404X-DI, 3404E-DI).
Every effort is made to conserve resources, including reuse or recy-cling of electrical parts, the use of steel packing, and the collection, sorting, and reuse of iron, aluminum, and other metal chips from ma-chining processes.

People-friendly, eco-friendly product development
RYOBI was established in December 1943 as a manufacturer of die castings. As we steadily accumulated our own technologies, we began supplying component parts for a wide range of manufacturing fields including automo-biles, electrical machinery, and communications and office equipment. Building on that technology and experi-ence, RYOBI eventually expanded into the production of finished products such as printing presses, power tools, and builders' hardware.The first RYOBI compact offset press was introduced in 1961 and represented a fusion of the design, precision machining, assembly, and other technologies accumulated during years of die casting. Since then our continued fusion and integration of state-of-the-art technologies have earned RYOBI printing equipment a reputation for ex-cellence throughout the world.
RYOBI's comprehensive product development has kept pace with rapid advances in printing technology, pursuing sophisticated designs that em-phasize highly automated, labor-saving, ergonomically-based operation. RYOBI printing presses are acclaimed throughout the world, and have received countless awards from various groups and organizations.

Die casting is a technique for rapidly producing molded products by injecting molten aluminum alloy or other metal at high speed and high pressure into a precision metal mold. Products molded using this technique are called die castings. Ever since RYOBI was established in 1943, we have been developing uniquely integrated systems for everything from design and fabrication of metal molds to casting, machining, and assembly of the die castings. Today we are recognized as one of the world's leading companies in this field. Based on the highly sophisticated processing technology and production knowledge accumulated through many years of die casting, our printing presses are composed of thousands of precision parts.
Technology from the field of die casting is also being applied to printing equipment
