1. Introduction Esko Bitmap Viewer 10 is a standalone, high-performance raster image inspection and analysis tool developed by Esko (a part of Veralto). It is designed specifically for professionals in prepress, flexo plate making, and quality control who need to examine bitmap data at the pixel level. Unlike standard image viewers (e.g., Photoshop or Windows Photo Viewer), Bitmap Viewer 10 is optimized for large-format, high-resolution 1-bit TIFF files used in flexo, offset, and screen printing. 2. Key Purpose & Target Audience | Target User | Primary Use Case | |-------------|------------------| | Prepress Operators | Verify halftone dot shapes, ruling, and angles before plate exposure | | Plate Makers | Inspect 1-bit TIFFs for artifacts, missing dots, or debris | | Quality Control (QC) | Compare expected vs. actual bitmap output | | RIP Operators | Debug rasterization output from Esko RIPs (e.g., Imaging Engine) |
