The new generation of JUST proofStations for large format printing
JUST Normlicht is a pioneer and leading manufacturer of devices for the visual evaluation of colors and surfaces. The accurate color reproduction is an essential precondition for quality assurance in the workflow. Central point is a standardized lighting that creates comparable and reproducible conditions for visual color control. There are only a few large format solutions on the market, which create uniform and standardized lighting conditions. The proofStations of JUST fill this blank. They are designed for large format pints in the graphics industry.
Large-format product range
From entry-level models such as the proofStation 30 Large Format, via Wall Illuminator with backlight, up to the extensible Virtual proofStation Side-by-Side XT for soft proofing applications, JUST has developed models, which satisfy the toughest demands. The new proofStations guarantees a standardized illumination of printed sheets with sizes 6B (140 x 100 cm) and 7B (160 x 110 cm). The proofStations are equipped with the ISO 3664-compliant JUST daylight 5000 proGraphic. This fluorescent lamps achieve top values for chromaticity error and metamerism index. The comfortable SPcontrol of the soft proof versions also features many convenient features such as a continuous dimming, hour meter and storeable brightness values. The asymmetrical design of the JUST moduLight permits exact color control without annoying glare and reflections.
ProofStations 30 and 40 Large Format
For color matching of large-format prints with sizes 6B and 7B, the proofStations 30 and 40 Large Format can be individually equipped with shelves, storage cabinets and side shelves. A soft proof version is available, too. It is showing the printed sheet on rigid-mounted or sliding monitor. For this purpose features the proofStation for soft proofing a SPcontrol with USB interface, which ensures trouble-free communication with monitor calibration software packages. Therefore, the different needs and preferences of each individual can be better met. For applications in high-quality packaging and prints were taken care of, too. Thus, JUST Normlicht provide a UV proof light for both proofStations. Optical brighteners and fluorescent colors can be reliably assessed with them. The proofStations 30 and 40 Large Format are also available as a multiLight version with four light sources (D65, D50, A and TL84) for color control and evaluation of metamerism.
Wall Illuminator
Because of a standard illumination area of 190 x 215 cm, the Wall Illuminator is suitable for color proofing of large-format prints such as exhibition banners or advertising posters. Thanks to ist size and accessibility, the substrates can be easily fastened with magnets on the back wall for color proofing. The Wall Illuminator is available whether or not SPcontrol and dimming, and also available with dimmable backlight. The backlight makes it possible to examine the full area of backlit substrates, such as textiles or transparent print, against the light.
All designs guarantee a standardized and a glare-free illumination across the entire back wall by the unique JUST moduLight technology.
Virtual proofStation Side-by-Side
The Virtual proofStation Side-by-Side BASIC can be extended as needed. The extension station Side-by-Side XT-doubles the standard illumination area of the Virtual proofStation Side-by-Side up to 200 x 70 cm. This is accompanied by an adjustment of the monitor equipment. The monitor mount XT for 2 monitors enables either landscape or portrait orientation. The SPcontrol with USB interface and hour meter of the basic station also controls the dimming of the light of the extension stations. For soft proof applications, the SPcontrol coordinates the brightness of the JUST moduLight and the monitors to an exact luminance match. Each Virtual proofStation Side-by-Side BASIC is equipped with a sliding keyboard shelf, a vented storage cabinet and a bottom cabinet with plenty of storage space for printing tools. The color of the side and rear wall of all large format solutions is Munsell N7 to permit neutral viewing.

In South Louisiana, where the Mississippi River meets the Gulf of Mexico, water―and the history of controlling it―is omnipresent. Into the Quiet and the Light: Water, Life, and Land Loss in South Louisiana glimpses the vulnerabilities and possibilities of living on the water during an ongoing climate catastrophe and the fallout of the fossil fuel industry―past, present, and future. The book sustains our physical, mental, and emotional connections to these landscapes through a collection of photographs by Virginia Hanusik. Framing the architecture and infrastructure of South Louisiana with both distance and intimacy, introspection and expansiveness, this work engages new memories, microhistories, anecdotes, and insights from scholars, artists, activists, and practitioners working in the region. Unfolding alongside and in dialogue with Hanusik’s photographs, these reflections soberly and hopefully populate images of South Louisiana’s built and natural environments, opening up multiple pathways that defy singularity and complicate the disaster-oriented imagery often associated with the region and its people. In staging these meditations on water, life, and land loss, this book invites readers to join both Hanusik and the contributors in reading multiplicity into South Louisiana’s water-ruled landscapes.
With texts from Richie Blink, Imani Jacqueline Brown, Jessica Dandridge, Rebecca Elliott, Michael Esealuka, T. Mayheart Dardar, Billy Fleming, Andy Horowitz, Arthur Johnson, Louis Michot, Nini Nguyen, Kate Orff, Jessi Parfait, Amy Stelly, Jonathan Tate, Aaron Turner, and John Verdin.
Twana’s Box' can be described in many ways: a journey through a photographer’s rare archive, documenting the Kurdistan region of Iraq from 1974–1992; a son’s quest to find his lost father, who was murdered by a military regime; a young man’s way to piece together the fragments of a scattered family in a scattered culture; the becoming of a photographer who, through the stories of others, starts to understand his own identity in times of war. 'Twana’s Box' is not only the photo book that holds a selection of Twana Abdullah’s archive; it is a unique insight into a time and place in a region that has since completely transformed. Rawsht has spent years piecing together his father’s negatives and stories. His archival work inspired him to become a photographer himself, working for Metrography – the first independent Iraqi photo agency – before immigrating to Europe. ills colour & bw, 21 x 27 cm, hb, Kurdish/Arabic/English

A deeply personal meditation on and around modern Black expression, curated by the acclaimed London-based designer
This volume, Grace Wales Bonner: Dream in the Rhythm―Visions of Sound and Spirit in the MoMA Collection, is an artist’s book created by the acclaimed London-based designer Grace Wales Bonner as “an archive of soulful expression.” Through an extraordinary selection of nearly 80 works from The Museum of Modern Art’s collection and archives, this unique volume draws multisensory connections between pictures and poems, music and performance, hearing and touch, gestures and vibrations, and bodies in motion. Photographs, scores and films by artists such as Dawoud Bey, Mark Bradford, Roy DeCarava, Lee Friedlander, David Hammons, Glenn Ligon, Steve McQueen, Lorna Simpson and Ming Smith, among others, are juxtaposed with signal texts by Black authors spanning the past century, including Amiri Baraka, Nikki Giovanni, Langston Hughes, June Jordan, Robin Coste Lewis, Ishmael Reed, Greg Tate, Jean Toomer, Quincy Troupe and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Artist’s Choice: Grace Wales Bonner―Spirit Movers, this resplendent publication is a deeply personal meditation on and around modern Black expression that echoes Wales Bonner’s own vibrant, virtuosic designs.
