The QuickPeek Color Proofing Kit is the direct replacement for the DOE Kit.
If you are searching for a DOE Kit, you have been directed here because DOE Industries has permanently closed its business. The DOE Kit and DOE Kits were manufactured by DOE Industries, and the QuickPeek® Color Proofing Kit is their direct, US-made replacement. Thwing-Albert manufactures the QuickPeek® Color Proofing Kit here in the United States as a drop-in replacement for the DOE Industries ink proofing kit — same workflow, same results, no retraining required.
The QuickPeek Color Proofing Kit quickly produces a hand-pulled proof that shows exactly how ink will appear on a printed copy from the press, before a single sheet goes through.

What Is the QuickPeek Color Proofing Kit?
The QuickPeek Color Proofing Kit is a compact ink proofing kit housed in a sturdy wooden carrying case. It uses a precision measuring bar and plunger to meter an accurate, predetermined volume of ink, which is then transferred to the roller, distributed evenly across the flat plate, and rolled out directly onto the desired paper stock. If you previously used a DOE Industries Kit, the QuickPeek® follows the same hand-proofing principle — your team will be up and running immediately with no retraining required.
The roller assembly (Part #116-0022) uses a nitrile/PVC blend roller compatible with conventional, hybrid, and UV inks — covering the full range of modern offset printing applications.

Who Uses the QuickPeek Color Proofing Kit?
For the Ink Maker
The QuickPeek Color Proofing Kit assists the color matcher in achieving an accurate color match and provides the production laboratory with an inexpensive, fool-proof method of confirming that the color and strength of ink being manufactured is correct before it ships.
For the Printer or Lithographer
- Quickly and accurately evaluate purchased ink to confirm correct strength and color.
- Determine in advance whether ink on hand will produce the correct color during a production run.
- If the job is to be printed on colored paper or in multicolor, produce accurate proofs of the resulting color without going to press or using an expensive proofing method.
- Make a proof to determine ahead of time properties such as drying time, rub resistance, light-fastness, and soap fastness.
- Quickly determine the degree to which an ink changes color when dry, since sheets going into the delivery pile are still wet.
- Prevent press problems caused by running ink that is too weak in strength — over-inking leads to offsetting, sheet sticking, halftone fill-in, and poor trapping. The QuickPeek Color Proofing Kit catches this before the job runs.
- Set up an easy, reliable method to proof and manage excess work-off ink.
- Produce simple, accurate color proofs quickly for customer approval.
