The VPI, from GTI Graphic Technology, is a
D50 viewing station with specially
designed lighting for the vertical inspection
of large-format digital color prints. It
features the Graphiclite 100 Color Viewing
Lamp, aluminized high-efficiency reflectors,
and spectrally neutral, nonyellowing
diffusers in its lighting environment.
Images up to 60 in. in width can be displayed
semi-vertically within the viewing
station while the viewer can stand at a comfortable
distance and take in the entire
image for visual comparison with a color
monitor image, color transparency, or reference
print. The VPI also features a variableintensity
option for use during soft-proofing
comparisons, a height-adjustable lower
ledge to support 3D artwork, and side walls
for control of ambient light.
Standard sizes available are: VPI-40 (40
x 45.25-in. viewing area); VPI-52 (52 x 45.25
in.); and VPI-64 (64 x 45.25 in.). Adding an
optional lower light source provides more
even lighting across the entire printed piece;
models available with the additional light
are: VPI-40x, VPI-52x, and the VPI-64x. (GTI Graphic Technology: www.gtilite.com)
