The development of PressPerCent started in the mid-1990's. The purpose was to create a simple ink key pre-setting software tool - a popular subject at the time when press manufacturers and printers were searching for less expensive, space-saving solutions to replace hardware plate scanners (that never were extremely reliable, among other faults). Since then, PressPerCent has evolved to include more features which customers and OEM partners required, such as: support for the job formats of virtually every press type and model, total ink calculations, spot-color preview, automatic job

Technically the application itself is just an area coverage calculator. It converts jobs in various input formats into bitmap images with relatively low resolution (its internal file format), then it counts the number of pixels that have different color values in these bitmaps. This calculation is done for certain areas specified by the user: the entire printable area of the printing press, the page area of the job, stripes which correspond to the ink zones of an offset (litho) printing press, or any rectangle that the user draws on-screen using his mouse.

Pre-press is a process, or a step in printing, not a device. I'm a pre-press production artist. Pre-press is between the designer and the press.
