10th anniversary: Since 1995, the name AABACH Graphic Systems stands for
a world-wide systems supplier for the Graphic Industry; the customers trust in
the reliable and functional DIGRA Products, and in the innovative strength and
flexibility of our company.
The DIGRA Microscope DM2004USB is presented to the public. The high resolution digital camera of the microscope can be connected directly via USB
2.0 interface with a WINDOWS® 2000/XP- or Vista-based PC. No accessory
hardware (e.g. a video card) is needed on that account. In connection with a
notebook it can be used in virtually any location. The comprehensive range of
application extends from packaging and decorative printing and automotive furnishings to security applications such as FIT® (Fine Intaglio Technology). The
modular software enables the measurement of • electromechanically engraved
cells, • etched cells, • laser engraved cells (Zinc laser engraving), • laser en-
18
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
graved cells (Ceramic cylinder), • hachures, • roll embossed cells, • Intaglio and
• flexo print plates.
DQ2010 is no problem – the same holds true for the integration of additional
measuring tools, e.g. a copper hardness measuring unit.
DIGRA DL3006 Plug-In for EFI Colorproof XF, the new RIP software for TIFF
image data generation for digital electromechanical engraving has been created.
It is a simple and efficient way to convert complete cylinder Postscript data (Level
2 + 3) within an automated workflow into TIFF image data for engraving.
In a joint project with the Swiss company Ecograph AG of Weesen (formerly
Randag AG), AABACH realizes a fully automatic production line representing
the latest technology in cylinder manufacture.

Project with the company Polywest Kunsstofftechnik Sauerssig & Partner GmbH
& Co. KG for the reconstruction of three machine beds into innovative coating
machines for the production of flexo sleeves. A new rotary motor, reconstructions for tailstock and the set-up of the dosing unit/mixing head ensemble, and
the complete digital integration of the production process into the existing workflow were the most important innovations of the project.

2006: Measurement optimation, Ohio integration and
Ecograph alliance
AABACH launches the second modular microscope, the new DIGRA DM2005USB.
In contrast to its ‘little brother’ DM2004 USB, the standard DM2005USB comes
with a depth measurement system. The high-performance microscope can be
integrated seamlessly into any field of application. Customer-specific adaptations are possible with regard to the print form to be measured as well as for the
data flow within the measuring report.
The DIGRA OI2100-Interface for the Ohio M8XX series is ready to go into production: it enables the integration of the engraving machine into the current
TIFF-workflow featuring direct engraving based on TIFF files and a ‘on-the-fly’
conversion. With additional, future-oriented functions such as double engraving, fully automatic mode and an open interface to loading systems the DIGRA
OI2100 is the alternative to buying a new engraving machine.
The DIGRA Quality Control Station DQ2010 is put into operation at a customer
for the first time. DQ2010 consist of a DIGRA Microscope DM2005USB, a
perthometer for roughness measuring and a workstation connected via wireless
LAN to the company’s network. To complete the system, a digital micrometer
to measure cylinder diameter and circumference is part of the standard version. Due to the modular structure a separation of single components from the

the existing tool into a DIGRA DM2004 USB-technology-microscope with all its
advantages.
AABACH (China) Graphic Systems Co., Ltd. is the new Chinese-German joint
venture company invested in by AABACH and the Chinese company Ningbo
Jinfan Group. It will be located near the seaport city of Ningbo in Cixi City, in the
Eastern-Chinese province Zhejiang, bordering the metropolis of Shanghai. The
ambitious goal of this joint venture is to manufacture highest-class machinery
and equipment for the graphic industry, making the most of the potentials of
both investors. The first step undertaken by the Sino-German Joint Venture was
the introduction of the new DIGRA AUTEC 1600 Digital Engraving Machine at
Print Expo in Beijing in mid-June 2007.

DIGRA ULTIMATE – the ultimate in electromechanical
cylinder engraving
The ULTIMATE cell engraving system is the first on the market combining excellent engraving quality with the possibility of engraving halftones featuring a
simultaneous engraving of cells and line elements. ULTIMATE improves the
line and text work tremendously, so that the typical saw tooth effect of electromechanical engraving virtually isn’t noticeable any more, and with this opens
up possibilities normally only to be found with laser engraving. With ULTIMATE
you can optimally reproduce any print colour – without quality loss in halftone
engraving.

Adobe Systems GmbH
Adobe Launches Public Beta of Acrobat.com
New Onl ine Services Help People Work Together on Documents Anywhere,
Anytime
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq: ADBE) today introduced Acrobat.com, a suite of hosted services available as public beta for free
signup, that put communication, productivity, and collaboration tools right within
a web browser. Much like Adobe® Acrobat® software enabled the publishing of
high-quality electronic documents that anyone can read, Acrobat.com enables
individuals to truly work collaboratively on electronic documents. Acrobat.com is
a set of online services — file sharing and storage, PDF converter, online word
processor, and web conferencing — that take advantage of PDF, Adobe Flash®
and Adobe AIR™ technologies to deliver engaging online experiences that go
well beyond traditional office productivity tools. Also accessible through Adobe
Acrobat 9 software (see separate release issued today), Acrobat.com delivers
a new way for people to work together online.
29
”Fifteen years ago, PDF moved the world from paper to electronic documents
without sacrificing print quality, changing the way we share information,” said
Rob Tarkoff, senior vice president, Business Productivity Business Unit. ”Acrobat.com extends that vision, moving the world from email attachments to online
collaborative documents without sacrificing authoring quality. With rich Internet
applications enabled by Adobe, we can combine desktop and cloud computing
to create innovative productivity applications that will change the way we create,
store and share documents together.”
“Acrobat.com is a big timesaver in our business and offers enhanced convenience for our clients and us,” said Danya Henninger with Imagic Digital. “From
converting to PDF to delivering large, high-resolution files, Acrobat.com simplifies work all around.”
“Buzzword is a really creative, new approach to an online word processor,” said
Dustin Wax, professor at University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and manager and
editor of http://www.lifehack.org. “It looks like actual printed pages, which is not
only great from a design standpoint but also helps non-tech-savvy users get
started faster and create better quality work together.”
“As the go-to person for our clients, I see Adobe ConnectNow as an amazing
30
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
resource for bringing people together in a moment’s notice,” said Jason Kallio,
trade show strategies for ExpoVantage. “ConnectNow is an excellent tool for
providing everyone with a more hands-on, engaging experience during meetings.”

Adobe Unveils Acrobat 9 Software
New Support for Adobe Flash Technology, Rich PDF Portfolios and Real-time
Capabilities Redefine PDF Communications
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today introduced Adobe® Acrobat® 9 software, a significant upgrade that will transform the
process of creating and sharing electronic documents. Acrobat 9 delivers native
support for Adobe Flash® technology, the ability to unify a wide range of content in rich PDF Portfolios, and access to real-time capabilities for co-navigating
a PDF document with colleagues.
“The expectations organizations and individuals have for communicating and
collaborating in the workplace continue to grow significantly,” said Rob Tarkoff,
senior vice president, Business Productivity Business Unit. “The ability to break
through and communicate a message in a compelling way has never been at
a greater premium. Acrobat 9 is a response to this environment and is poised
to fundamentally change how professionals communicate and collaborate using
electronic documents.”
For the first time, Acrobat 9 provides deep support for Adobe Flash technology,
enabling users to include Flash Player compatible video and application files
in PDF documents. Recipients simply need free Adobe Reader® 9 software
to consume the content. Now, static documents can come to life as dynamic
communications.
31
Acrobat 9 also includes the ability to unify a wide range of content into a single
document with the new concept of PDF Portfolios. PDF Portfolios enable business professionals to assemble multiple media types, such as documents, video,
audio, and even 3D objects, into one, compressed PDF file. Users can then
choose among several professional layouts—or create their own—to quickly integrate content, define navigation, and add polish and branding. As a result,
communications such as sales proposals, legal documents, and product collateral can become far more customized and compelling.
In addition, Acrobat 9 provides access to capabilities for collaborating live within
a PDF document — enabled by working with Acrobat.com, a new suite of hosted
services Adobe introduced as public beta today. For example, a salesperson
could use Acrobat 9 to send a lengthy contract to clients. The sales professional, or any of the recipients using Adobe Reader*, can then drive the groups
navigation through the PDF document in real-time working with Acrobat.com.
This helps ensure everyone is literally, and figuratively, on the same page.
Additionally, Acrobat 9 users can access Acrobat.com for storing and sharing
files, use it as a central location for collecting data as part of a forms process, and
to gather comments in a shared document review. Acrobat.com includes other
services, such as Adobe ConnectNow, personal web conferencing that provides
desktop sharing, video and voice conferencing, and integrated chat; and Adobe
Buzzword®, an elegant, web-based word processor that can be used to easily
co-author and share documents for comment and review, creating high-quality
print results.
The Acrobat 9 family consists of Acrobat 9 Standard, Acrobat 9 Pro, and the
new Acrobat 9 Pro Extended software. The most comprehensive member of
the family, Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, includes Adobe Presenter software for easily
turning Microsoft® PowerPoint presentations into multimedia experiences that
can be published as PDF files.
Pricing and Availability
Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat 9 Standard for Microsoft
Windows®, and Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac OS X, are expected to be available by
July 2008 in English, French, German, and Japanese language versions. Acrobat 9 Pro Extended is expected to be available for US$699, and registered
users of qualifying earlier versions of Acrobat** can upgrade to Acrobat 9 Pro
Extended for US$229. Acrobat 9 Pro is expected to be available for US$449,
and registered users of qualifying earlier versions of Acrobat*** can upgrade to
Acrobat 9 Pro for US$159. Acrobat 9 Standard is expected to be available for
US$299, and registered users of qualifying earlier versions of Acrobat**** can
upgrade to Acrobat 9 Standard for US$99.

DUESSELDORF, Germany — Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced Adobe PDF Print Engine 2, the next-generation, full-featured
printing software that enables end-to-end workflows for graphically rich publishing based on Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). Designed for offset and digital printing, Adobe PDF Print Engine 2 enables Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs) and print providers to fulfill the promise of variable data
printing (VDP) and help their customers to develop personalized campaigns for
different target audiences. Since its introduction in 2006, more than 2000 systems incorporating Adobe PDF Print Engine are in production from the industry’s
biggest names, including Agfa, FUJIFILM, GMG, Heidelberg®, Kodak, Screen,
and Xanté®. Dalim Software, EFI, Océ Printing and Xerox® also announced
support for Adobe PDF Print Engine 2 today.
Adobe PDF Print Engine 2 addresses the complexity and limitations of variable
data printing workflows that have hampered VDP adoption so far. With support
for PDF/VT, the emerging PDF standard for variable data printing, the software
offers print providers an easy on-ramp to add VDP to their existing workflows.
Adobe PDF Print Engine 2 makes personalized publishing more practical and
broadly accessible while enabling print service providers worldwide to realize
significant performance gains. Customers such as the Printing Department at
the University of Southern Queensland in Australia are finding that the Adobe
PDF Print Engine renders jobs twice as fast as their previous systems.

“Personalized publishing is the best way for businesses to engage their customers with relevant information,” said Dr. Naresh Gupta, senior vice president,
Print and Publishing at Adobe. “Building on the success of Adobe PDF Print Engine, the next generation of the technology will help print providers cut through
the media clutter and deliver the benefits of VDP by enabling complete, unified
PDF-based workflows, from design to collaboration to final output.”
A Single, Unified PDF Workflow
Adobe PDF Print Engine 2 leverages the same core PDF technology across the
end-to-end workflow – designing with Adobe Creative Suite®, reviewing and
proofing with Adobe Acrobat® Professional and printing with Adobe PDF Print
Engine – to dramatically reduce complexities and streamline the next generation
of print jobs. Optimized for digital printing, Adobe PDF Print Engine 2 efficiently
renders graphically rich content and offers an easy path for print providers to
add personalization to existing workflows, using the familiar tools, methods and
expertise employed in prepress today. With VDP content exchanged in the form
of user-friendly PDF, collaboration between creative designers, business users,
print and prepress professionals is greatly simplified.
Adobe PDF Print Engine 2 is built on the industry standard JDF (Job Definition Format), which enables printers to realize substantial cost savings through
end-to-end workflow automation, beginning with an easy-to-use, online job submission. Optimized code takes full advantage of available hardware resources
such as RAM and multiple-core CPUs while a highly scalable architecture enables parallel processing by next-generation Raster Image Processors (RIP) and
Digital Front Ends (DFEs).
”Printing is a thin-margin business; anything that strips out cost and streamlines
processes is beneficial,” said Riley McNulty, research manager for document
solutions at IDC. ”Adobe PDF Print Engine 2 is impressive. To manage all elements from start to finish through an integrated PDF-based workflow is a strong
value proposition; the benefits are obvious.”
”Adobe PDF Print Engine has had a huge impact on print production,” said
James Wamser, senior training specialist at Sell Printing Co. ”It gives us a lot
more options for producing the best output possible for any given job. In the
past, we found ourselves asking our customers for new files more often. Now
with the Adobe PDF Print Engine, this is no longer the case. It’s a big leap forward for pre-press workflow and, ultimately for our customers, because the jobs
they create look as they intended, more consistently.”
Adobe PDF Print Engine 2 will be available to OEM partners in July. For more information on Adobe PDF Print Engine 2, please visit www.adobe.com/products/pdfprintengine/.

ITP/ Model Development Kit (MDK) Repository is a
complete management and development environment
for managing document templates used with Aia ITP
Intelligent Text Processing software. The repository is
the central control point for identifying, changing, and
coordinating all the elements (content, layout and business logics) associated with particular document templates. Typical uses of the ITP/MDK Repository are: •
Document template management • Search for all documents containing a certain address and change all those occurrences with just one update, even if
thousands of document templates are involved • Compare documents to determine changes from version to version • Who changed the document, when
and what were the changes • What documents depend upon an include document • What models were compiled with this document Structural design The
ITP/MDK Repository is a client-server application that provides secure multiuser access to a central database that stores documents, building blocks and
ITP models. Multiple clients can connect to the server, and the client application
offers a structured view of objects within the database. The multi-role environment empowers the superuser to manage the complete environment –from the
project environment to tiny document details- while business users are able to
manage the content of the documents they know best and work with every day,
using a user friendly interface for non-IT personnel. Document templates in the
ITP/MDK Repository are indeed “Business owned, business managed and IT
controlled”. User and version management Documents and models are organized as projects and in folders. As access levels allow, documents can be
edited from the MDK client through Microsoft Word. For greater security and
control, only a single user can make changes to an object at one time. When a
new version of a document or model is saved to the database, the old version is
not overwritten and lost. Instead a new revision is captured, along with information about the user who created the version. Benefits • Secure central storage
of documents and models, and supporting backup • Authentication to differentiate between administrator and other access levels, allows user management
and activity tracking • Clear graphical user interface • Revision control for secure
model development • Multi-user access control to ensure data integrity • Dependency tracking provides insight into object relationships • Convenient project
organization of documents and models

These forms: - Capture data or text that is not available from existing applications. - Enable users to make specific choices from predefined options. - Might
depend conditionally on previous answers or application data.
ITP/OnLine Server automatically creates all these forms based on instructions
in the ITP document model. No knowledge of HTML is required. The forms
support the use of data entry fields, check boxes and drop down menus. Help
texts assist users in the process. All dialogue formatting is done using CSS and
XSL style sheets, which enables full customization of the web form layout.
Any business document ITP/OnLine Server Letter Writing System is based on
ITP document production technology, which provides very rich document modeling capabilities; it can create any business document. The generated business
documents are based on ITP model documents.
Text-Block Correspondence Users can select the text-blocks that they want to
use in their daily correspondence. Text-blocks are organized in logical groups
like ”building permit clauses” or ”claims text-blocks”. Text-blocks can contain
data variables that will automatically be filled with data from the company’s business applications. In the result document, text-blocks can either be edited by
the user or contain protected, non-editable text.
tured data can optionally be passed on to an application in order to store it in a
database.
ITP/Server
ITP/Server offers an affordable, server-based solution
for generating high volumes of ITP automated documents to produce personalized business correspondence. Customers use ITP/Server to produce: • Renewals of insurance policies • Mass mailings • Reminders • Yearly statements As the foundation for ITP/OnLine

An important aspect is represented by flexible codification of variable data, mostly
carried out by ink-jet systems not allowing permanent codifications and having
highest management and running costs due to materials and continuing maintenance. LASER technology ensures a permanent codification without graphic
limitations and a great cost reduction, excellent for small fragmented lots and big
productions. Most evident benefits of laser technology are a permanent codification on any material and highest operative flexibility allowing to change real-time,
texts, graphics, barcodes, data matrix, and more customized codifications, giving way to new labelling applicative frontiers to beverage, food, pharmaceutical,
electronic and fashion sectors. BLACKSTAR is the faster and multipurpose laser
marking system available on market, capable of marking even onto foils, holographics, PVC and specific acrylic materials (Acos, Tesa, Schreiner, 3M and so
on). Besides it can be configured with different powers depending on needed
productivity.

BLACKSTAR
BLACKSTAR Nel labelling moderno, i diversi materiali utilizzati richiedono l’utilizzo
di tecnologie sempre più specializzate ed innovative nelle varie fasi del processo, ormai ricco di trattamenti superficiali ad alto valore aggiunto.
Un aspetto importante è la codifica flessibile di dati variabili, eseguita perlopiù
con sistemi ink-jet, che non permettono codifiche permanenti e che hanno elevati
costi di gestione dovuti ai materiali di consumo ed alla continua manutenzione.
La tecnologia LASER, garantisce una codifica permanente e senza limiti grafici,
con notevole riduzione dei costi, eccellente per i piccoli lotti frammentati e per
le grandi produzioni. I vantaggi più evidenti della tecnologia laser sono la codifica permanente su qualsiasi materiale ed una elevata flessibilità operativa, che
permette di modificare in tempo reale testi, grafiche, codici a barre o data matrix ed altre codifiche personalizzate, aprendo di fatto nuove frontiere applicative
al labelling per i settori beverage, alimentare, farmaceutico, elettronico, fashion
ecc. BLACKSTAR è il marcatore laser più veloce e polivalente sul mercato, può
marcare anche su foils olografici, PVC e specifici materiali acrilici (Acos, Tesa,
Schreiner, 3M, ecc). Può essere inoltre configurato con diverse potenze, in funzione della produttività richiesta.

HOLOMARK
HOLOMARK è il sistema di marcatura laser espressamente realizzato per la
codifica variabile permanente su materiale olografico in bobina. L‘ologramma è
il prodotto di stampa di massima sicurezza intrinseca in quanto la sua garanzia
di originalità è dovuta all’essenzialità dei processi di design, originazione e produzione. L’odierno livello di sofisticazione delle patch olografiche richiede l’utilizzo
di tecnologie sempre più specializzate ed innovative durante le varie fasi del
processo, dal materiale base al prodotto finito, ormai ricco di trattamenti superficiali ad alto valore aggiunto. La marcatura laser è il solo modo di realizzare
codifiche permanenti di ottima qualità grafica evitando inoltre i costi di manutenzione e consumo tipici della tecnologia ink jet. Il crescente bisogno di certificare la provenienza originale dei prodotti, rende le patch olografiche sempre
più diffuse e personalizzate. L’introduzione di dati variabili sulla singola patch
ne aumenta la sicurezza, in quanto la codifica laser diventa un elemento permanente di anticontraffazione. HOLOMARK, grazie alla interazione della luce
laser con una ampia gamma di materiali, permette di realizzare la personalizzazione di ogni singola patch, senza limiti , modificando in tempo reale loghi,
testi, grafiche, codici alfanumerici, codici a barre o data-matrix, anche provenienti da DATABASE esterni trasferiti da altri computer. La tecnologia LASER
apporta una serie di indiscutibili vantaggi quale una elevata flessibilità operativa
con tempi di set-up ridottissimi, oltre alla possibilità di poter operare sui semilavorati standard adattabili in tempo reale alle diverse esigenze dei clienti. Inoltre,
tramite la particolare opzione SWS, è possibile realizzare la personalizzazione

diretta degli SHIM, garantendo una più ampia flessibilità operativa unitamente
ad una sensibile riduzione dei costi.
HOLOMARK
HOLOMARK is the marking system expressly realized to permanent variable
codification of holographic material on bobbin. The hologram is the printing
product of maximum intrinsic security, since its originality guarantee is due to
the essentiality of design, origination and production processes. Today’s sophistication level of holographic patches demands the utilization of even more specialized and innovative technologies during different process phases, from base
material to finished product, full of high-added-value surface treatments. Laser
marking is the only way to realize permanent codifications of very good graphic
quality, avoiding maintenance costs and consumption typical of ink jet technology. Growing need to certificate the products’ original provenance, makes holographic patches even more widespread and personalized. The introduction of
variable data on each patch increases the security, since laser codification becomes a permanent anti-counterfeiting element. HOLOMARK, thanks to interaction of laser light with a wide materials range, allows to realize every patch
personalization, without limits, changing in real time logos, texts, graphics, alphanumeric codes, bar codes or data-matrix, originated by external DATABASE
too, transferred by other computers. LASER technology brings a series of indisputable benefits such as an high operative flexibility with highly reduced set-up
times, besides to the possibility to operate on standard semi-processed, adaptable in real time to different customers’ requests. Furthermore, through the particular SWS option, it is possible to realize SHIM’ direct personalization, assuring
a wider operative flexibility together with a considerable costs reduction.
LABELR2R
LABELR2R Nel labelling moderno, i diversi materiali utilizzati e le forme sempre
più complesse per le etichette, richiedendo l’utilizzo di tecnologie sempre più
specializzate ed innovative nelle varie fasi del processo dal materiale grezzo al
prodotto finito, ormai ricco di trattamenti superficiali di alto valore aggiunto. Un
aspetto importante del processo di finishing è la fustellatura, risolta perlopiù da
soluzioni completamente meccaniche orientate quasi esclusivamente ai grossi
volumi mentre nei piccoli-medi volumi si è affermata la tecnologia LASER, quale
innovativa soluzione allorquando vengano richiesti lotti frammentati e just in time
oltre che una continua riduzione dei costi. In questa fascia di mercato la tecnologia LASER, apporta una serie di indiscutibili vantaggi quali l’eliminazione delle
fustelle, una maggiore flessibilità di utilizzo e di forme, una rapidità di set-up,
la capacità di operare su diverse tipologie di materiali, con gruppi di alimentazione a registro automatici, nonché la possibilità di operare sia fuori linea che
in linea con il gruppo di stampa. Ulteriori elementi a vantaggio della tecnologia
laser sono una elevata flessibilità operativa e tempi di attrezzaggio ridottissimi,
49
oltre alla possibilità di poter operare sui semilavorati del cliente, a continuo rischio di obsolescenza, modificando in tempo reale testi, grafiche, codici a barre
o data matrix, fino a poter inserire elementi di anticontraffazione. LABELR2R
permette di realizzare in un unico passaggio sofisticate e complesse geometrie
di mezzo-taglio, taglio, marcatura, codifica progressiva, microforatura, dentellatura impensabili con le attuali fustellatrici meccaniche, aprendo di fatto nuove
frontiere applicative al labelling per i settori beverage, alimentare, farmaceutico,
elettronico, RFID, fashion ecc. LABELR2R può essere inoltre equipaggiato con
doppia sorgente CO2, per ottenere elevate produttività, oppure configurato con
laser CO2 abbinato a laser Nd:Yag, per eseguire operazioni di fustellatura e
marcatura senza limiti di materiali , e per ottenere speciali effetti cromatici grazie alla interazione delle due tipologie di laser con una ampia gamma di materiali
organici e sintetici, di coatings e di inks.
LABELR2R
LABELR2R In modern labelling different used materials and more and more
elaborated shapes for labels demand the use of more and more specialized and
innovative technologies during several process phases from raw material to finished one full of high—added-value surface treatments. Die-cutting represents
an important aspect of finishing process, mostly solved by mechanical wholly
solutions aiming exclusively at big volumes, while about small-medium ones
LASER technology has emerged as innovative solution in case of requests of
fragmented and just in time lots further to a continuing cost reduction. In this
strip of market, LASER technology brings a series of indisputable benefits such
as die-cut pieces elimination, a major use and shape flexibility, a set-up rapidity,
the capacity of processing onto different material typologies with automatedregister feeling groups as well as the possibility to process both inline and outline with printing group. Further benefits of laser technology are represented by
highest operative flexibility and shortest and reduced assembling times further
to the possibility of processing onto customer’s semi-processed at continuous
obsolescence risks, changing in real-time, texts, graphics, bar codes or data
matrix up to anti-counterfeiting element insertion. LABELR2R enables to carry
out sophisticated and complex die-cutting, cutting, marking, progressive codification, micro-perforation and indentation process, unreachable through present
mechanical die-cutting systems, giving way to labelling new applicative frontiers
to beverage, food, pharmaceutical, electronic, RFID, fashion sectors and so on.
LABELR2R can be also equipped with CO2 double source to get high productivity, or configured with laser CO2 combined with Nd:Yag laser in order to carry
out die-cutting and marking operations with no limit of material; besides it allows
getting special chromatic effects thanks to interaction of laser two typologies with
a broad range of organic, synthetic, coatings and ink materials.

Are you familiar with that problem: You have a proof
print in your hands and you do not know how accurate
it is? Does the proof match the offset standard or it is
just a ”colorful“ inkjet print? With basICColor control the
uncertainty is history. basICColor control comes with a
complete set of reference values for all printing conditions standardized in ISO 12647-2. You just measure
an Ugra/FOGRA media wedge that has been included
in the proof print and you get an unbiased evaluation based on six criteria defi
ned by FOGRA: paper simulation, average and maximum deviation of all color
patches, maximum deviation of the primaries and hue difference of the primary

colors and composed grey. The results are visible at one glance – with a simple
red/green „traffi c light“ system. If your customer is more demanding than the
standard, you can add the customer´s criteria, which show a yellow traffi c light,
if exceeded. In order to proof to your printer´s that the proof print is OK, you can
print a report on a label that you stick on the proof. No open questions and no
more misunderstanding! Of course basICColor control can be used with other
targets as well, e.g. basICColor RGB control wedge for QC of fi lm recorders
and minilabs. basICColor control – and you are in control.

Quality Assurance for print according to ISO 12647-x or
any other printing condition. basICColor certify is being
used by the German Printers´ Association (bvdm) for
PSO certification.
basICColor CMYKick
Until yesterday you needed a degree in engineering in
order to make a good CMYK printer profi le – at least
expert knowledge in all aspects of printing and presses.
With basICColor CMYKick this is history! basICColor
CMYKick analyzes your measurement data and sets
all the relevant parameters fully automatically. If, for
instance, your ink jet printer should clog up the black
channel above 70%, basICColor CMYKick limits black
to 70%. And even TIL will be set correctly. basICColor CMYKick makes ICC
profi les by dragging and dropping the measurement fi le onto the program icon
– it takes the blues out of printer profi ling! basICColor CMYKick supports all
standard profi ling targets and all measurement fi les that follow the ISO standard. That means that you can create new, perfect profi les even from existing
data. If you want to make your own measurements, basICColor catch lets you
measure targets quickly and easily. basICColor catch comes bundled with basICColor CMYKick and can be upgraded to a complete quality assurance tool for
proof and for print.

basICColor demon
ICC-DeviceLink-Profi les are becoming more and more
popular – but unfortunately they cannot be used in every application. Photoshop for example doesn´t know
DeviceLink profi les – until now! If you use basICColor
demon, you enable DeviceLink profi les in any application that lets you choose a CMM! basICColor demon allows you to defi ne any
number of input and output profi le combinations that will then be replaced by
DeviceLinks. Photoshop even shows the correct color in preview and then converts your images with high quality ICC DeviceLinks made, for example, with
basICColor DeviL. In order to allow you an easy start basICColor demon contains 2 ICC DeviceLink profi les: one for converting sRGB to ISOcoated_v2 with
our specifi c dynamic gamut compression. And one for converting from the „old“
offset standard ISOcoated to ISOcoated_v2. The black channel will be maintained, i.e. black type will not be rasterized like in conversions through normal
ICC profi les. An additional benefi t of ICC DeviceLinks is the controlled composition of the color and black plates. With heavy GCR you cannot only stabilize
your printing process but also save a lot of ink without sacrifi cing printing quality. basICColor demon can handle all kinds of ICC-DeviceLinks, regardless of
manufacturer or color space. Thus fi ne art printers can convert data from their
working space to inkjet printer space, prepress can create high quality proofs
that have so far been restricted to proprietary proofi ng systems. Printers can
convert data from one printing condition to another without affecting the separations. *) Precondition: selectable CMM in the application
basICColor DeviL
ICC-DeviceLink profi les are becoming increasingly popular – for a good reason! Color transformations with ICC DeviceLink profi les have an accuracy that
only with proprietary, expensive solutions can be reached. ICC DeviceLink profi
les permit s specifi c control over color separation and the black channel. For
example it can be defi ned to bypass pure black (100% Black) during the color
transformation – a problem that with standard ICC profi les isn‘t solvable. The
intended use of ICC DeviceLink profi les ranges from the creation of high-quality
proofs and conversion between different print technologies (e.g. offset/gravure
conversion) to saving ink in the print process. basICColor DeviL creates ICC DeviceLink profi les between different color spaces: CMYK, RGB and Grayscale.
So high-quality separations from RGB to CMYK can be created because basICColor DeviL uses a dynamic compression to build the ICC DeviceLink profi le.
Every parameter for the DeviceLink creation can be stored in a preset fi le and
so it can be selected with one click – it couldn´t be easier!

basICColor input
With version 4 the proven software basICColor display
has been taken to a new level of quality, speed and
ease uf use in monitor calibration and profi ling. The
excellent quality of earlier versions has been improved
by using latest algorithms for calibration and profi ling.
The software offers higher speed, a considerably easier to use UI, more features than previous versions and
than any other product in the market. For beginners
the software offers predefi ned settings for easier handling and faster success in
calibrating and profi ling the monitor. Expert users have extended options to optimize, edit and fi netune the calibration and profi ling of their monitors. The quality
of the system can be reviewed in basICColor display 4 at any time - visual and
numerical validation. basICColor display is the fi rst software to calibrate monitors to a visually LINEAR state. All other solutions tweak the gradation using
a gamma function. And now we even added an sRGB calibration curve! With
basICColor display 4 you can measure and assess ambient light and viewing
booths (with suited instrument) according ISO 3664 and ISO 12646.
Scanner profi ling is not a problem any more, basICColor input profi les scanners along the way. The real
challenge is camera profi ling. That´s why we developed new technologies to master this complex task. basICColor input incorporates the latest achievements in
color science in order to assure highest profi le quality.
Multi target profi ling lets you combine several targets
into one profi le. This compensates for random errors
in target shots. By using different target materials, you can adapt the profi le to
specifi c material properties and thus reduce or even eliminate metameric failure.
Batch profi ling allows you to generate multiple profi les, e.g. from bracketed exposures, and select the best profi le for your individual situation. You will receive
the best results with the basICColor dcam target +, with integrated black trap for
absolute black. For gray balancing your camera under any lighting condition,
the basICColor dcam target + has an integrated, spectrally neutral gray card on
the back of the box.

basICColor dropRGB
All printers, regardless if connected to a Mac or PC, not
driven through a PostScript RIP look like RGB printers
to your computer, even if they physically print in CMYK
or even in 6, 7 or 12 colors. That is why these printers
need to be profi led as RGB printers. If you own one of
these printers, e.g. an inkjet printer or even a minilab,
there is no need any more to spend big bucks on professional profi ling. basICColor dropRGB creates ICC
profi les quickly and easily by dragging and dropping measurement fi les on the
program icon – you can´t beat the simplicity AND you can´t beat the quality! We
have eliminated the most expensive part in profi ling – the measurement instrument! The new concept of basICColor servICCenters allows budget profi ling in
professional quality. The basICColor servICCenter of your choice will measure
your targets with high-end spectrophotometers for a small fee. You receive the
measurement data via e-mail and create your own ICC profi le by dragging &
dropping the fi le onto the basICColor dropRGB icon. This guarantees profi les
of a constant quality, automatically named and stored where they belong – regardless if you work on a Mac or a Windows PC. The manual explains how to
use the resulting profi les in your printer driver – step by step. It´s more a tutorial
than a manual, added value for free!
71
basICColor print revolutionizes the creation of ICC profi
les for any output device – laser- or inkjet-printer, digital minilab, print presses. Even problematic print processes as fl exographic printing or pad printing can be
profi led with basICColor print without any diffi - culty
– tone values for highlight and shadow can be defi
ned well directed. Separation parameters as UCR (=
UnderColorRemoval) or GCR (= GreyComponentReplacement) can be defi ned and controlled as exactly like never before. The
gamut mapping for the perceptual Rendering Intent is the fi rsttime in a profi ling
application entirely fl exible. The compression for the gamut mapping is continuously variable and so the user must not rely on the default gamut mapping of
the vendor. Therewith you‘ll gain results which in the past only have been obtained by high-end drum scanners. Printer profi ling that good like never before!
basICColor print makes ICC profi les by dragging and dropping the measurement fi le onto one of the individual profi ling presets. Printer profi ling that easy
like never before! While making new setups for further ICC profi les basICColor
print already calculates the fi rst profi les in batch mode. Printer profi ling that
productive like never before!

Founder’s SuperLine Anti-Counterfeit Design System is digital design software for security against counterfeit and
forgery of almost any printed item. Founder SuperLine’s target clients are organizations that design documents that are
vulnerable to counterfeit such as bank notes, packaging,
passports, certificates, licenses, lottery tickets, contracts,
trademarks and other printed security products.
Split Line (available outside of Europe & USA.) Split one line into two or several
fine lines that prevent unapproved duplication.
01.1465
SuperLine can generate customer created security designs that are virtually impossible to duplicate – even with a copy of the same application. These security
designs may be used to protect any printed product from reproduction – any
designs created with SuperLine will be clearly shown to be an illegal copy if
scanned or photocopied.
Security designers can choose for a wide palette of anti-counterfeit design tools
including:
Key Effect Features Texture Aesthetic textures can be generated easily with
convenient tools in SuperLine.
Guilloche An ornamental pattern formed by two or more curved bands that interlace to repeat a circular design with effective anti-counterfeiting and pleasing
aesthetic effects.
Microtext Patterns can be generated by rows of very small letters instead of
lines, e.g. replacing a line segment with a line of letters that are smaller than
0.2mm.
Latent Text and Images By using lines with varying widths in differing directions,
characters or images can be hidden in other background images.
Lace Lace is generated by repeating one or more elements often used in ornamental frames.
Rasterization Images can be rasterized by any shape dots. Tiny dots generated
by Rasterization will effectively disturb the raster process of the copier preventing
unapproved duplication.
Refraction This function is especially for graphic design in the packaging industry
and for imaging in metal craftwork.
Lock-opening If you overlay a film with special screening on a locked image and
view from a certain angle, you will see the locked or otherwise hidden image.

the only method that provides both visual verification and automated measurement with a densitometer. The result is faster, more consistent and cost effective
color throughout the run. Scanning the ENTIRE sheet in ten seconds, instantly
seeing deviations on screen, and making corrections, is the most productive
way.
Also provided is more efficient press monitoring, job recall and database management. The time that would have been spent taking multiple spot measurements with a hand held densitometer will be better used to make final adjustments to the press and getting production under way.

Total safety – 100% tested Smart Products
The Qualifier 100/165 for RFID labels can be seen in action on the bielomatik
stand. This inspection and finishing system provides for 100% quality assurance
in the production of self-adhesive inlays and Smart Labels. Following an optical
and/or electromagnetic examination, faulty labels or inlays are removed from the
production line and replaced with tested items. As many as 30,000 Smart Labels
per hour can be checked on the continuous line. The subsequent coding of the
chip data is handled from a database, by manual input or pre-printed barcode.
Along with the chip data, alphanumeric information can also be applied to the
label by non-contact inkjet printing.
Apart from its uses for logistics applications such as baggage handling for airlines or warehouse management, more and more companies are turning to RFID
labelling, particularly in the packaging industry. This market is set to expand
significantly in the future – particularly when retail products start to be fitted with
these Smart Labels.

Turn to Performance ... SPEED LEVEL 2008
producer of wire combs, to take advantage of their production experience. Instead of 2,500 loops per minute as before, this machine now manages 3,200.
The presentation of bielomatik, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of
paper processing machinery and RFID products goes under the slogan “SPEED
LEVEL 2008”. In all, 5 machines and production lines will be exhibited over 1,000
sqm in Hall 11. The PLUS series of machines for stationery production offers
impressive improvements in processing speed, even exceeding up to 100% in
some cases. But the transponder processing systems also set new standards
with up to 120,000 Smart Label Inlays per hour.

A+ for exercise books
One of the highlights of the bielomatik exhibition program this year is the P
25-90plus high-performance exercise book line, on which a higher production
rate (10%) has been attained. Machines on the market today offer a maximum
throughput of just 500 m/min and 100 cycles/min, whereas the P 25-90plus operates at a web speed of max. 550 m/min and 110 cycles/min. This machine
has also been significantly enhanced with a newly developed feeder configuration: covers no longer have to be produced in the costly large format, but can
now be printed on small-format offset printers and fed 2-up in the exercise book
machine.
05/15/2008
The PLUS in performance for spiral and wire comb
binding
It is no longer a secret: substantial efficiency improvements in orders with
medium to large batch sizes can only be achieved with shorter throughput times.
The improved, fully-automated P 35-49plus spiral binding machine offers performance increases of 33% for A4 products and up to 100% for A5 products. The
“superfast“ spiral binder can be seen live on the bielomatik stand.
In answer to questions on the new exhibits, Dirk Vössing, CEO of bielomatik
Leuze GmbH + Co. KG with responsibility for the paper segment, reports on the
development work: “By developing ‘close to the customer’ or often even ‘right
with the customer’, we have been able to adapt our range of machines to the
latest requirements in terms of efficiency and performance, and so assure the
success of our customers in the future too.”
For example, the performance improvement of over 25% in the P 44-96plus wire
comb forming machine was achieved in collaboration with the world’s largest

RF-LoopTag® - the innovative concept for RFID /
UHF-Tags
In RF-LoopTag®, bielomatik is presenting a new concept for the production of
RFID labels. With the manufacturing process, changes of material and large
production volumes enabling deployment in the item-level range for the first
time. Placing the new UHF chip module from NXP as a second layer on the
pre-produced secondary antenna allows the required range to be achieved. Positional tolerances are adjusted with the integrated “mini-transponder” via magnetic coupling, providing for faster and more competitive production. The use
of environmentally resilient materials provides the basis for a new generation of
environmentally friendly and disposable Smart Labels and Smart Label Inlays,
made of paper and aluminium.

Cutting marking sensitive large formats at double the
speed
With the high-performance CutMaster F 2200 sheeter bielomatik announces a
revolutionary improvement in the handling of large formats. With this new arrival,
speed is the trump card. Large formats up to 1,400 mm can now be cut at 100
% higher web speeds. A combination of compression and shear stresses on the
batches of sheets under machine braking normally produces unwanted marks
on the finished paper. This used to mean that when matt and semi-matt papers
were processed, the full machine capacity could not be used.
Existing CutMaster machines can be upgraded with the new SynchroSpeed
overlapping. The use of the new braking system makes the machine speed
largely independent of the type of paper. The batches of paper are now slowed
down by compression forces alone, with no shearing movements at all. The
result: greater productivity and “clean” paper in widths up to 2,200 mm.
05/23/2008
More throughput for RFID products
Up to 60,000 Smart Labels, 120,000 inlays or antennae, or 300,000 RF-

LoopTags® per hour are proof of the impressive performance of the TTL 100/165
laminating and processing system for RFID. The latest enhancement to this
proven series can be admired in action on the bielomatik stand A06. This multipurpose machine can be used to produce “intelligent products” (e.g. Smart Labels/tags) in various versions, with increased throughput speeds and hence reduced costs.

pressSIGN’s success is based on its intuitive user interface that makes it easy for
all those involved in production to meet the quality targets they set themselves
including ISO 12647, GRACol etc..
The new pressSIGN-Pro automatically accepts CGATS data from a variety of
spectral reading devices. pressSIGN monitors the ouput from such devices as
X-Rite’s Intellitrax S, Komori PCDS, Heidelberg’s ImageControl and more.
As the operator scans the press sheet pressSIGN immediately shows how close
that sheet is to ISO 12647-2, -3, -4,-6, GRACol or a user defined standard. Users
can create their own standards using an ICC profile, a single or a set of average
measured sheets or by typing in their own values.
pressSIGN-Pro operates anywhere across the internal network and therefore
allows anyone to monitor the performance of the press.
Bodoni Systems Ltd.
pressSIGN-Pro shows the operator how to adjust the density settings to meet
the Lab target values for the primaries and how to adjust their plate curves.
By attaching an X-Rite Eye-One users can take individual measurements from
anywhere on the sheet; measure and compare Lab values, density, dot area,
trapping and overprints.

IRIFLEX - The universal platemounter
IRIFLEX is a operator friendly microdot-mounting machine. This gearless machine can work with traditional
cylinders or sleeves without equipments change, and is
available in widths from 1100 up to 1900mm with print
repeats from 270 to 1200mm. The standard manual
cameras or the optional motorised ones ensure ‘dot on
107
108
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
dot’ accuracy while the innovative options such as the plate laying table, the
plate lay down roller and the Taper Slide allow the flexo printer to obtain a higher
degree of standardisation from cylinder to cylinder, sleeve to sleeve.
Dot on dot registration with multiple plates is ensured by two high magnification
cameras linked to individual position indicators and monitors, while the phase
difference is made by an mechanical dividing head. CAMIS can provide the
Iriflex with motorised cameras and electronic dividing head. The plate-laying
table allows the operator to lay “Full Width” or individual plates flat on top of the
cylinder while checking and achieving accurate and easy plate registration. This
allows the plate to be positioned in register without the polyester liner becoming
attached to the tape, thus removing the stress from the polyester liner (plate
base) if the plates need repositioning. Normally the operator has performed
the plate to tape function manually, knowing this CAMIS has developed a plate
mounting roller that presses the plate down under an even pressure, assisting in
the removal of air bubbles and over stretching, typically associated with manual
operations. Iriflex it’s available with proofing test with or without gear.
IRISMALL - Narroweb platemounter
Irismall is our narroweb platemounter designed for the label and tape printer. Quick, Versatile & Accurate; Irismall
is developed from the experience gained from our successful Iriflex and Irisleeve mid web plate mounter range.
Crafted from solid and light aluminium and steel frames
and fitted with two high magnification cameras manually
displaced, linked to individual digital position indicators,
allow multiple plates to be laid without the need for extra
cameras. A 12” split screen monitor allows for simultaneous control and registration of the microdots and/or cross hairs. Irismall is supplied complete with
an ergonomic plate mounting table allows large plates to be positioned in register prior attaching to the double sided tape, resulting in reduced damage to the
polyester liner and a reduction in ‘introduced’ air bubbles in the tape. Available
with a cantilevered sleeve change system and/or adjustable cones for shaftless
printing cylinders, which support the cylinder at both ends during plate mounting.

callas software announces new pdfToolbox line-up of
print production tools
The developer of Adobe® Acrobat®’s Preflight to offer three different levels of
automation and integration to check, correct and color-manage PDF files
Berlin, Germany - January 21st, 2008 - In an effort to streamline its product
offering callas software announces the immediate availability of callas pdfToolbox 3, callas pdfToolbox Server 3 and callas pdfToolbox CLI 3. Based on the
same technology as Adobe Acrobat Preflight, this new product range provides
the most complete toolset to extend the capabilities of Acrobat in a professional
print environment. It replaces callas’ previous print production products.
callas pdfToolbox 3 is an indispensable tool for any print professional offering the
most complete PDF correction and color-management capabilities from within
Adobe Acrobat

All callas pdfToolbox products are based on the same technology providing the
user with the most complete PDF checking, correction and color management
capabilities. While off course offering solutions to the most common problems
such as incorrect color spaces and missing fonts, callas’ PDF correction capabilities start where others leave off, offering support for cyrillic and asian characters
when embedding fonts, providing the ability to check individual glyphs of a font
or make entire documents coming from office applications ready for high quality
printing.
As plug-in to Adobe Acrobat callas pdfToolbox provides an interactive and userfriendly interface to this technology. You can chose to correct specific problems
such as removing elements unnecessary for print or prepare entire documents
for a specific production process. For less technical users, callas pdfToolbox
provides a step by step approach helping you to define the origin of the file,
allowing you to define to destination and making the necessary corrections accordingly. Regardless of their level of technical knowledge users are not only
able to check but also correct documents in a very efficient way.
With the new callas pdfToolbox Server, callas software provides users with an
easy way to automate their PDF workflow. You can now preflight large volumes
of PDF files without having to open each individual file. As pdfToolbox Server
uses the same Preflight technology than Adobe Acrobat you can rest assured
that the automated process will deliver the exact same result as when an individual operator is checking the file. But callas pdfToolbox server goes beyond PDF
verification. Its automatic correction and color-management capabilities fully automate the make-ready of files. Regardless of their origin pdfToolbox Server will
check, correct and color convert files as accurately and efficiently as possible.
From enterprise level document management systems to job submission portals, callas pdfToolbox CLI allows integrators and developers to easily implement
industry-standard Adobe® Acrobat® preflighting, comprehensive PDF correction and color-management functionality into the workflow they need. Running
on a host of different platforms callas pdfToolbox CLI provides a command line
interface to callas’ robust and proven PDF technology.
Advanced color correction with the callas pdfToolbox DeviceLink Add-On callas
software also announces the availability of their DeviceLink Add-On for the different products of the new pdfToolbox product range. This add-on provides most
commonly used device link profiles, to easily optimize files for various printing
conditions and according to international printing standards. The DeviceLink
Add-On also allows for optimization of the total ink coverage, increasing the
printability of jobs.

Gradual Software releases support for callas
pdfAutoOptimizer
Maintenance update introduces brand-new configurator to flatten live transparencies
Ghent (Belgium) and Berlin (Germany), 22 January 2008 — Gradual Software
and callas software today released SWITCH 07 update 3 with support for callas
software pdfAutoOptimizer. The maintenance update for SWITCH introduces a
number of smaller features and fixes, but also for the first time makes flattening
of live transparencies available through the use of callas pdfAutoOptimizer on
Mac OS X and Windows. Until the end of March, callas pdfAutoOptimizer for
SWITCH is available at a special introductory price.
The solution for transparency problems
Using easy drag-and-drop, users can now integrate callas pdfAutoOptimizer into
their workflows to establish reliable transparency flattening of PDF files on Mac
OS X and Windows. The configurator for pdfAutoOptimizer allows users to select stored PDF optimization settings in version 8.1 or higher of Adobe Acrobat
Professional (Acrobat Professional must be available on the same system as
SWITCH). This gives users the option of creating different transparency flattening settings for different requirements, such as pixel image vector adjustment
or the conversion of fonts to outlines. Peter Kleinheider, Manager Print Publishing Technologies of callas software comments, “Until live transparencies in PDFs
can be rendered correctly during output, controlled flattening of live transparency
in a PDF stays an issue in many workflows. Automating Adobe Acrobats PDF
optimizer functionality gives the user the right tool to centralize and perform the
task of PDF transparency flattening with the known quality of Adobe’s own PDF
flattening engine.”
Availability
Gradual SWITCH update 3 and callas pdfAutoOptimizer are available immediately. SWITCH can be downloaded from the gradual website (www.gradual.com).

Das Grundgerüst des Flachbett Scanner ist aus stabilen hochwertigen Aluprofilen hergestellt. Auf dieses Gestell ist eine Vakkumplatte angebracht. Diese
Bauweise ermöglicht das Einscannen von leicht zerbrechlichen, starren und
schweren Vorlagen. Der Vorteil zu unserem Trommelscanner ist, dass das
Orginalmuster auf dem Flachtisch aufgelegt wird und mittels einer Vakuumpumpe
angezogen wird. Somit bewegt sich nur der Scannkopf, nicht jedoch das Muster.
Dadurch ist es möglich Keramik, Holz, Steine, textile Muster usw. einzuscannen. Eine automatische Abstandsregelung stellt den richtigen Abstand zu den
verschiedenen Vorlagen ein.
Wir bieten verschiedene Größen mit unterschiedlichen Auflösungen an. Des
weiteren haben wir für spezielle Applikationen einen 3-D-Scanner entwickelt,
der neben der Farbgebung die Vertiefungen z.B. in einer Lederstruktur oder Steinstruktur in dreidimensional abscannt.

perfectly when each colour is printed over 2 printing press towers.
GapFinder can add registration marks, scan marks, colour matrix marks and
plate identification as required. GapFinder enables press operator to check input
jobs to make sure they can be printed on selected web presses; sales staff can
quickly check that a job can be printed, its costs and the sales quotation can be
determined accordingly.
Compose Plate Controller reduces production costs and enhances business
profitability
Compose will demonstrate its newly updated Plate Controller applications during drupa 2008. Plate Controller is a plate layout software that automates job
placements, as well as step-and-repeat operations for both PDF and 1-bit ripped
files.

DI Proof
DI Proof (Data Integral Proof) is a state-of-the-art ROOM proofing module that gives you the best results for your inkjet and
colour laser proofs. DI Proof allows users to control the resolution at which it is operating. It downsamples separated data,
which is recombined to produce an ICC colour-managed composite file for output to the proofing device. By selecting higher
resolutions for downsampling, you can create proofs which
partially reproduces the dot patterns of the original separations
making it possible to see actual rosettes on the proof.
Star Proof
The original DOT proofing solution with the power to
produce 200lpi contract proofs on inkjet printers —
quickly and economically. With its Actual Dot system
to replicate original screening and dot patterns at proofing resolutions, Star Proof delivers top quality FOGRA
Certified proofs with a hard dot, sharp images, accurate
colour and fine detail — just as they will appear on the press. And with ROOM

CS CMS Suite
Product Overview
Managing Content
In order to re-use content effectively, it has to be split up systematically into components. Especially in the case of very complex and volominous documents,
this method of structuring is indispensable. By supporting the DocBook standard and adhering to the DITA standard, ContentServ relies on the two most
popular concepts for the semantic structuring and multiple use of content.
01.1030
The CS CMS Suite as an editing system
CAR-SPECIAL V.14 (2007/2008)
The compilation of voluminous documents, such as books or comprehensive
documentation, is a special challenge for a Content Management System. Particularly if some of the content needs to be re-used, the content has to be already
structured when it is being entered into the system. The CS CMS-Suite provides
the appropriate features for doing so. Since the whole system is based on XMLdata, the popular XML-based information architectures DITA and DocBook may
be used to the full extent. Even the most complex documents may be easily
structured in this way. Given the various output formats that both standards
provide, all content may also be published to a wide range of media.

Humidification installations with air-assist nozzles
Installation based on the CUMULUS patented nozzles is very reliable, low maintenance and care. Water treatment is NOT required! The flexibility with the
CUMULUS ® air-assist nozzles is unlimited!
Humidification installations based on high pressure, purified water
This is recommended for installations with a large capacity. The installation produces very low noise and requires limited power. Demineralisation is strongly
recommended, since the nozzle outlets (0,1…0,2 mm!) will block quickly due to
the build up of scale. Some suppliers recommend only softened water, but we
don’t have a positive experience with this.
Humidification installations with ultrasonic humidifiers
The advantage is an extreme low noise. Water treatment is an absolute MUST,
otherwise the vibration elements will last short. Very good for smaller rooms.
Relatively expensive.
As a results of 15 years of experience, we are flexible and we can offer any customised solution. We follow high quality standards and give excellent service.
Adiabatic cooling
Most production companies suffer from a high internal heat load due to machines. Ventilation is needed, sometimes even air-conditioning.
Air humidification with CUMULUS helps to solve the problem. The evaporative
heat will take away a significant amount of surplus heat from the room and thus
contributing to a better inside climate. The evaporation of 100 litres per hour
provides as much as 68 kW of cooling power; as much as 10 large air conditioners! This is called adiabatic cooling. It is unnecessary to mention that the
humidification installation can not take the role of airconditioner, but the cooling
is an extra.

DLS pioneer Bauer Druck to install 3rd Daetwyler
LASERSTAR at Cologne facility
Bleienbach, Switzerland. Bauer Druck Cologne (BDK), a pioneering user of
the Direct Laser System (DLS) from MDC Max Daetwyler AG decides to invest
into a third LASERSTAR for its Cologne facility.
As one of the first LASERSTAR users BDK started to use the zinc DLS technology from Daetwyler in 1997. Due to the advantages of this highly stable and efficient rotogravure cylinder engraving system and its high customer acceptance,
BDK installed a second LASERSTAR in 2004.
To further increase capacity and to serve the growing Eastern European markets, Bauer opened the most advanced rotogravure cylinder-making plant in
Nowogrodziec, Poland, in 2006, exclusively using the Daetwyler zinc LASERSTAR. Due to strong growth Bauer Poland already installed a 3rd LASERSTAR
system at this facility in 2007.
With the current trend towards shorter press runs it has become imperative
to have the fastest and most flexible rotogravure cylinder production process,
which is the DLS system from Daetwyler, available. Besides superior process speed, compared to that known from electromechanical engraving, DLSengraved cylinders offer print products of higher quality with no ribbon differences and excellent repeatability. Cylinders have also shown further reduced
paper waste and provide ink savings of up to 15 per cent on the commonly used
substrates in illustration printing.
With the latest addition of yet another LASERSTAR, Bauer Druck is the world’s
leading user of the zinc DLS system in illustration rotogravure printing. The
entire cylinder production at Bauer Druck is exclusively done with zinc DLS.

DIGILAS
The DIGILAS is a highly precise laser engraving system of high versatility for Flexo and rotogravure cylinder
preparation, which allows coverage of various applications. When using the laser ablation process (removal
of black lacquer layer by means of laser) with the DIGILAS in conjunction with
the chemical etching process, highly precise rotogravure and emboss cylinders
can be produced. In addition, Flexo plates can also be processed on the DIGILAS. Also possible is the direct laser engraving of ceramic cylinder surfaces
to produce anilox rollers as is direct 3-D engraving of suitable plastic and hard
rubber materials.
To achieve optimal engraving results, state-of-the-art fiber laser technology is
used on the DIGILAS
tages, which include superior engraving speed, highest reproducibility of gravure
results, large screen range, exceptional text and half-tone results, tear-free progressions, significant ink savings and less waste in the press. Several additional
orders for LASERSTAR from existing users as well as ongoing new orders from
users switching technology are a clear endorsement of the high satisfaction and
the trust into the MDC DLS system.

LASERSTAR
DUOSTAR
With the DLS system engraving is done with a pulsed
laser beam directly into a zinc layer. In the process, the
advantages of the zinc properties over those of copper
are fully exploited. The quality achieved, both for full and half tones is superior
to that of other systems.
With the DUOSTAR MDC continues the tradition of offering innovative solutions, which add value to its users.
In the DUOSTAR MDC’s longstanding experience in the
manufacture of high-precision cylinder-processing machines is combined with state-of-the art technology. The result is the DUOSTAR,
the fastest and most complete cylinder-processing machine available in the market to date.
The proven DLS system used in the LASERSTAR offers the user clear advan-

The DUOSTAR allows full processing of cylinders in one go. Starting with the
removal of chrome layers, the processing of cylinder faces and edges and right
up to the final polishing of the cylinder surface, all process steps are fully automatically done on the DUOSTAR.
Thanks to its fast linear drive the DUOSTAR is up to 50 per cent quicker than
comparable machines available in the market. While being the fastest cylinderprocessing machine available no compromises are made in terms of quality and
precision.

software at Hall 9, Stand 9C44 and at the Drupa Innovation Parc, Hall 7 during
Drupa, 2008 held from May 29-June 11 In Düsseldorf, Germany.
DALiM SOFTWARE JDF CONNECTIVITY PACKAGE PUT TO USE
Dalim Software has been one of the major drivers of JDF connectivity in the
industry, with leading roles in the CIP4 Committee. The company is using its new
DALiM TWiST JDF Connectivity Package to connect to and drive applications
like Alwan CMYK Optimizer directly from the workflow.
The JDF Connectivity Package in DALiM TWiST is able to send files automatically from the workflow to, for example, the Alwan CMYK Optimizer ink management software solution, allows the files to be processed in the application, and
returns the files to the DALiM TWiST workflow. As it does so, it can drive the
settings of the ink optimization solution directly from the workflow via the JDF
communication standards. By allowing the workflow to provide the setting (for
example, maximum ink values for newspapers), neither a dedicated hotfolder
nor queue is required. Thus, if a company is operating a database-driven DALiM
TWiST workflow, the system can remain fully automated. “Basically, the application becomes a DALiM TWiST tool,” describes Bertin Sorgenfrey, Dalim Software head of international marketing. “There is a certain amount of handshake
information exchanged, the workflow sends the file, the application processes
it, and the file returns to the workflow when the task is done.”

At Drupa 2008, Dalim Software will introduce version 3.0 of DALiM MiSTRAL,
its popular production automation and project management/job tracking system.
The highlight of the new version will be Publisher’s Production Flatplan, specially
catered to non-technical users for faster approval of pages. While other page
applications show flatplans of designed work, MiSTRAL 3.0 shows true PDF
images of complete pages that have been produced through a production workflow. The attractive, new, easy-to-use interface speeds up the process for these

At Drupa, Dalim Software is introducing new features to DALIM DiALOGUE, a
stand-alone SWOP Certified monitor-based proofing application running under
the Macintosh OS X operating system. DALiM DiALOGUE provides companies
a way to provide remote and collaborative viewing and soft proofing of highresolution files (PDF, PostScript and TIFF-IT, among others) via the Internet. The
version of DALiM DiALOGUE demonstrated at Drupa will feature text extraction,
170
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
the ability to highlight text when viewing a proof on a monitor, and cutting and
pasting that text with edits into a comment. Unlike other monitor-based proofing
systems that show a page as a rasterized image, text is demonstrated as a
vector component. This saves a reviewer time, because the person does not
have to retype copy that requires changes. This feature is also available for all
2-byte/Kanji fonts.
DALiM DiALOGUE is also seamlessly integrated into other Dalim Software solutions—most notably, DALiM MiSTRAL. Thus, when pages are selected from
DALiM MiSTRAL, they are immediately provided as monitor-based proofs in
DALiM DiALOGUE and, if a page is approved (or rejected), it is immediately
noted in DALiM MiSTRAL.
DALiM DiALOGUE also features a closed loop calibration system—unique in a
web-based application without the need for client software. As soon as the client
logs into DALiM DiALOGUE (or opens a page in DALiM MiSTRAL), DALiM DiALOGUE will ask the user to conduct a quick check of the monitor with a spectrophotometer, to confirm that it is within standards. If not, DALiM DiALOGUE
will ask the user to calibrate the monitor. Thus, the system is always assured
that the user is viewing the page with a valid profile, and will make a record that
the user calibrated the system properly. If the user declines to calibrate the monitor, the system can be modified to prevent the user from viewing the page—or
it will allow the user to view and approve the file, but with a note that the person did not use a correct profile. “With this new option, printers can be assured
that a proof is being viewed with required, calibrated profiles,” comments Bertin
Sorgenfrey. “And, this is done automatically. The operator has no software to
install.”
INTRODUCTION OF DALiM VIRTUAL LIBRARY
Just as the ”Publishers Production Flatpan” will improve the usability of DALiM
MiSTRAL and make page approvals quicker and easier, DALiM ViRTUAL LiBRARY presents a realistic view of a magazine for approval. To date, technology
demonstrations have been presented at trade shows, but Drupa will represent
the official launch of the system as an optional add-on to DALiM PRiNTEMPO
and DALiM MiSTRAL.
DALiM ViRTUAL LiBRARY offers unique visualization possibilities for the reader,
along with dynamic content possibilities for the publisher. Once a magazine has
been planned using DALiM MiSTRAL, a virtual representation of the publication
is available using DALiM ViRTUAL LiBRARY for a more realistic proofing experience. All publications available for viewing are presented using a very simple
to use, yet stunning, visual interface. Each publisher can display its own virtual
library of magazines, with cover pages available for view—almost as if they were
all on a magazine shelf. Metadata can be streamed automatically from DALiM
171
MiSTRAL—categories such as titles, and editorial or ad pages.
The software gives readers the experience that they are truly leafing through a
magazine. As a reader ‘scrolls’ through the pages, the pages curl and turn faster,
giving the sense that a reader can almost touch the pages. Just as important,
every page of the magazine is dynamically linked to work being done in DALiM
MiSTRAL. If a page is completed, approved—or just changed—it is reflected in
the magazine immediately in DALiM ViRTUAL LiBRARY.
The benefits are two-fold. For publishers, it provides a realistic view of a magazine for approval, even as pages are updated. Because Dalim Softwareequipped service providers can create electronic documents directly from within
their production workflows, publishers, agencies and brand owners can instantly
take advantage of accessing, downloading and storing their virtual products for
immediate or later use, ranging from reading to web repurposing. For readers,
it provides a newfound wealth of information. As they select magazines to read
from the ‘shelf’, content on the page can include embedded links and interactive
features. The experience truly pushes content from the publisher to the reader.
DALiM ViRTUAL LiBRARY is seamlessly integrated into Dalim Software’s webbased production environments, and its platform independence makes it available on Apple OS X and Microsoft Windows operating systems.
UPM AND DALiM VIRTUAL LIBRARY PARTNERSHIP
Dalim Software and UPM, one of the world’s leading forest products groups with
core businesses in printing papers, specialty papers, label materials and wood
products have partnered to develop DALiM ViRTUAL LiBRARY further to be
used as a tool in UPM’s paper sales. The DALiM ViRTUAL LiBRARY will allow
UPM to demonstrate the realistic effect of different paper grades to its customers.
DALiM ViRTUAL LiBRARY will be able to, seamlessly and accurately, simulate
the different paper stocks, including the effects of whiteness, see-through and
opacity, in real time.
ADOBE® PDF PRINT ENGINE ON BOARD
Dalim Software is working with Adobe® Systems Inc. to implement the Adobe®
PDF Print Engine into specific areas of its product line.
”Adobe® Systems Inc. is excited to welcome Dalim Software’s use of the
Adobe® PDF Print Engine in their workflow applications. This will ensure consistency and performance of industry standard PDF content handling, regardless
of the media chosen,” comments Shafath Syed – Product Marketing Manager,
Adobe® Systems Inc.

and providing the technology direction for tomorrow. We continue to forge partnerships with vendor companies to provide some of the most progressive automated print production systems. It only makes sense that, at an international
exposition such as Drupa, we continue to help customers effectively complete
challenging print production projects for well-known global brands. And, the
publication of a tremendous number of magazines worldwide is supported by
the use of our solutions. Dalim Software solutions flourish in major publishing,
packaging, repro, and prepress companies worldwide. With the new solutions
we expect to introduce at Drupa, we look forward to working with them for years
to come.”

Scan Our Colorbar
Digital Information hosts Pub featuring New Color Technologies During Drupa
ZURICH/SWITZERLAND – 25 February 2008. Digital Information would like to
invite members of the media, customers, guests, partners and anyone else with
an interest to drinks and refreshments at our Colorbar. Co-sponsored with stand
partner Tecco at Drupa in Düsseldorf, the Colorbar will be open daily on Stand
A26 in Hall 8B for the duration of the show.
While enjoying our Colorbar have a look at the intriguing new developments that
Digital Information will be presenting between May 29 and June 11. Our new
InkZone Move suite and Preproofer 118 proofing system are two show-stopping
products now available for the first time anywhere in the world. Also on display:
the latest versions of the world’s most popular aftermarket solutions for sheetfed
ink presetting and closed-loop color control, including DI-Plot, InkZone Perfect
and InkZone Loop.
InkZone Move Sets a New Standard As the global print market reaches new levels of competitiveness, Digital Information launches an automated color control
solution in InkZone Move (IZM) which is within the reach of all printers. The solution sets a new price point for automated on-press process control, and works
equally well on 2-up through 8-up press sizes, from the latest press models to
185
186
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
workhorse legacy equipment. Building upon a precise spectral engine from XRite, the industry color leader, and adding ingenious process control capability
and automation, the altogether new IZM system not only measures all the ink
zones of an offset printing sheet, but also compares the print run with the proof,
and even measures the control strips imaged on the printing plates.
Full or Partial Automation For smaller 2-up (20”, 50cm) and 4-up (28”, 70cm)
press formats, IZM Press comes with a precision scanning guide for semiautomated measuring of color bars. For larger formats like 70 x 100 cm (8up,
40”) and when businesses place a high value on operator convenience, a fullyautomated precision guide is available which includes an auxiliary motor. This
enables the X Rite Eye-One for the first time to play a key role in color-managing
the pressroom, with a new level of economy that will fit any budget. The InkZone
Move Press software package displays the measured ink values on the screen
in zones and supplies all the data needed for monitoring the actual print run. For
further efficiencies, InkZone Move Press can be augmented with the addition of
Digital Information’s IZ Loop products to add closed-loop color control on a wide
range of sheetfed offset presses. For ease of use and consistency, the InkZone
Move Plate solution shares the same automated measuring system and XML
data structure as its InkZone Move Press counterpart. IZM Plate is suitable for
measuring metal printing plates or short-run polyester plates. The resulting measurement information can be used not only to control the plate imaging process,
but also to prepare the corrective imaging device calibration data. As the third
module in the InkZone Move software suite, IZM Wedge is essential in aligning
the proofing system with the color results from the press. It utilizes the full spectral data via the same measuring system, enabling evaluation in line with ISO
standards, G7 guidelines or simply as an extended means of evaluating the performance of the entire color system. All of the program modules in the InkZone
Move suite (IZM Press, IZM Plate und IZM Wedge) save the measurements in
a common data format. So for the first time it is possible to fulfil cross-process
quality control of the proof, printing plate and press results using a universal,
low-cost solution.
Pimp Your Press: Ink Zone Preset Plus Closed Loop Digital Information is the
world’s leading aftermarket supplier of fully JDF-based solutions in ink presetting
and closed loop color. The DI-Plot, InkZone Perfect and InkZone Loop solutions
are installed with customers around the world in their hundreds, and are distributed by leading press manufacturers and system integrators. DI-Plot imports
the bitmap data from any prepress workflow and outputs them to a whole range
of color printers as imposed proofs that fully reflect the layout and content sent
to the CTP system, digital press or other imaging solution. At the same time, DIPlot cleverly calculates the ink coverage values for each printing unit and saves
them in JDF format. From there the InkZone Perfect solution takes over, and
converts the JDF coverage values into calibrated settings for the ink keys and ink
187
ductor on almost all sheetfed press, as well as many web printing presses. This
digital presetting data is transferred via a network directly to dissimilar press consoles with the help of one of several InkZone hardware technologies: IZ Card,
IZ Strip, IZ Tape, IZ Wire or IZ eFloppy. At Drupa, Digital Information will be providing an updated directory of additional online connections, including presses
manufactured in the year 2000 or later. With the significant time and paper that’s
saved with InkZone Perfect, the up-front investment will typically show a return
(ROI) in just a few short months. The next link in the InkZone chain is IZ Loop,
which evaluates the color bars on a printed sheet and actually calculates the
precise correction values required to properly adjust on-press color. With every
set of measurements, the proper ink settings are automatically transmitted to
the press console via the same hardware connection used for presetting the ink
levels. The latest on-press, color measurement solutions from industry-leaders
Techkon (SpektroDrive) and X Rite (Intellitrax) are fully supported by the IZ Loop
measuring system. For smaller format presses or where additional economy is
required, InkZone Move Press makes use of X-Rite’s affordable EyeOne spectrophotometer. IZ Perfect and IZ Loop have a rejuvenating effect on legacy
printing presses, lengthening service life, efficiency and profitability by years.
XXL: The Preproofer 118 The Preproofer 118 is a double-side, fully imposed
proofing system based on the latest Epson large-format printer. In addition to
tried-and tested dual-sided proofing in format sizes 50 x 70 cm (printing width 61
cm or 24“) and 70 x 100 cm (printing width 111 cm or 44“), Digital Information will
be showing the new Preproofer 118 at Drupa, with a giant paper width up to 162
cm (64“). Featuring two interlocked Epson Stylus Pro 11880 printers, arranged
one above the other, users can automatically print double-sided, imposed proofs
from a single roll of paper. With a connection to all prepress workflows via DIPlot, the Preproofer 118 provides the right fit for sheetfed and web printing firms
with wide press widths. The nine-color inking system and super-fast Epson piezo
technology featured by the Stylus Pro 11880 help to make the Preproofer 118
the flagship of all double-side proofers.
So why not visit our Colorbar at Drupa in Düsseldorf/Germany between May 29
and June 11 2008? You will find the Digital Information Stand A26 in Hall 8B.
We’re looking forward to seeing you!

InkZone
The InkZone concept for presetting the ink keys on offset
printing machines is making life easier for printers: they are
saving money and gaining time; at the same time, they are
achieving considerable increases in quality and productivity.
As a direct continuation of the preset function, the InkZone
Loop technology is responsible for non-stop control of the
printing machine and compliance with print production standards. InkZone Move takes Digital Information’s InkZone
concept for digital presetting and closed-loop ink adjustment
on offset printing machines to significantly wider audience and adds capabilities for both plate and proof evaluation. The new InkZone Move (IZM) suite of
solutions is divided into the IZM Press module (measurement and visualization
of color control during printing), IZM Plate (measurement of the ink coverage
on the printing plate) and IZM Wedge (evaluation of a media wedge on color
proofs). All three software modules make use of a spectral engine from industryleading supplier X-Rite assuring accuracy while setting a new industry standard
for economy.

DiMS! organizing print reveals DiMS.net!, the most
proactive and user-friendly MIS/ERP system ever
At Drupa 2008, DiMS! organizing print will launch the most innovative IT product for the graphic arts industry ever, DiMS.net!. Utilizing the comprehensive
end-to-end functionality of the existing DiMS! solution, the company has invested
80.000 hours to create a brand-new MIS/ERP system, which enables an extremely pro-active and easy way of conducting business. The inevitable results
produce themselves in: ease of use; less errors; speed of business processes;
reduced training time for new employees; improved process flow information
and increased efficiency. In this press announcement we highlight some of the
features that make DiMS.net! unique of its kind.
Adaptive, autodidactic user interface Based on the MS Vista look and feel,
DiMS.net! can be adapted to the user’s application behaviour and requirements,
achieving outstanding user-friendliness. For the most advanced users all functionalities are available, where less demanding or one-time users can also easily
operate the system. The clear and autodidactic set-up of the system enables every user to operate it to his own needs.
Colours lead the way The various sections of the system are colour coded, showing the right flowchart at a single glance. In addition, a context sensitive ribbon
menu represents the consecutive steps in the flow process – whether it’s for
quote, order, or something else – and shows the status of each process step
through coloured flags: green, yellow, red and blue.
Smart memory Every flow step has various options; the system automatically
adopts the ideal and favorite work methods of the individual user. All options
selected the last time automatically present themselves on top, just like documents that belong to a record; the last generated ones show themselves first.
This makes working with the DiMS.net! software a daily pleasure. Any document
can be saved with an order in DiMS.net!, whether they are e-mails, attachments
or documents received from customers. DiMS.net! achieves a new height with
this method in organizing business processes.

Concept study shows successful connection of
diron´s Web2Print Software print4media to the
production system Prinect from the Heidelberg
Printing Presses Corp.
diron introduces at drupa 2008 in a concept study the connection of the
Web2Print Software print4media to the production system Prinect from the Heidelberg Printing Presses Corp. (Heidelberg). Based on JDF and PDF standards,
it is demonstrated how templates created online by users can be switched over
from the print4media system directly to the Prinect productions workflow. Independent from which products the customer selects through print4media, the
print4media system sends the JDF and PDF to the Prinect Prepress Manager,
which is the integral part of the Prinect Productions workflow system and is completely based on JDF from the Heidelberg Printing Presses Corp. The job instructions received through JDF, such as contact information, number of copies,
number of pages, etc., are attached in the next step to the print order. Prinect
collects similar orders to optimize workflow, and can return to print4media messages in JMF format regarding the respective production status (job tracking),
which can then be forwarded on to the customers via e-mail.
Stefan Nürenberg, CEO of diron GmbH & Co.KG: ”With print4media diron offers
its customers an intelligent and powerful technology for optimizing workflows
and reducing costs. The simultaneous creation of both a checked and readyto-issue PDF print file together with the corresponding JDF ticket simplifies the
production process considerably. The connection to the Prinect System offers
an ideal solution to strongly increase the efficiency of the business workflows.
Those interested can see for themselves the capability of the concept at the
drupa in the Prinect Integration area of the Heidelberg Printing Presses Corp. in
Hall 1.”
”The demonstrated concept for connection of the print4media system to Prinect
through standardized ports emphasizes the openness of both systems. In this
way, due to the connection of both workflows, users are able to avoid manual production steps, reduce errors, and increase the processing speed of documents created online in print4media and the production of the finished print
products,” says Dr. Peter Leu, Director of Product Management of the Prinect
Prepress Workflows.

diron announces JDF Integration of print4media with
CREO Color Servers
diron announces cooperation to develop an integration of CREO Color Servers
from Print On-Demand Solutions (PODS) group - an independent unit of Kodak´s
Graphic Communications Group - with its Web2Print software print4media.
print4media is a versatile Web2Print solution for automated publishing. With
multiple modules, print4media enables digital print providers to provide a broad
range of applications, from business-to-business marketing portals to open print
job submission shops to business-to-consumer portals for photo rich products.
Integration with the well-known CREO Color Servers will support the needs of
digital print providers by automating the different workflow steps, starting from
the first stage of customer submission.
The seamless integration between CREO Color Servers and print4media will
enable customers to gain efficiencies by using print4media to customize a print
template online (e.g., stationery), to upload a PDF file and calculate the job online and to use a photobook desktop software for designing and uploading a
photobook to print4media. Regardless of which module of print4media is used,
the print4medie system sends the JDF and the PDF to the CREO Color Server.
The job instruction are received via the JDF and inherited automatically by the
CREO Color Server job ticket. Such information may include number of pages,
media type, customer information and more, emiminating the need to re-type
information previously captured.
Improved Workflow and Connectivity
”Most of our advanced customers are seeking not only a Web2Print front store
with a sophisticated user interface and intelligent technology, but they also aim
at streamlined business processes including an automated production so that a
large number of small print jobs can be handled in quick turnaround time at low
process costs without errors due to manual handling”, says Thomas L. Rödding,
president of diron GmbH & Co.KG. Due to print4media´s capability to generate verified and output-ready PDF print files along with the corresponding JDF
ticket, the production process is much easier and less error-prone. The modern
print4media installations integrate the Web2Print front store with online payment
systems, as well as the print house´s MIS system and the prepress software
workflow.
Says Hagar Gal, Marketing Manager, CREO Branded Products: ”E-Commerce
is fast emerging in the print industry and diron´s print4media system is a strong
market leader in this arena. The integration of the two systems will help our
mutual customers to increase their success with optimized business processes.”

dots iSWT 4 places the incoming print data on the printshop server in PDF file
format, ready for further processing. The job information (the client, required
number of copies, type of product, etc.) is stored in the dots Job&Order Ticket,
which accompanies the job throughout its workflow. dots recommends a combination with dots Cockpit 4 JTX, which enables the data from the Job&Order
Ticket to be used in the downstream production process and can even help automate this process.
Alongside its established suite of professional print functions such as file merge,
imposition and tab printing, dots Cockpit 4 JTX offers an array of innovative extensions. The dots Colour Split function helps substantially reduce print costs
by ensuring that colour printers only print the job pages which actually contain
colour – all the other pages are routed to black & white systems. Following
printing, dots Colour Split automatically re-assembles the pages in the correct
sequence. The new configurable job ticket creates greater transparency for
intranet-based submission of print data, and makes this step of the workflow
even easier to manage and execute.

6to5-Scan, extreme photography
Dr. Wirth Gravursysteme introduces a new procedure
and a new machine to make coloured and 3d looking
pictures to be shown on 2d displays like monitors or
prints. The name of the new procedure is 6to5-Scan.
Flat, but structured surfaces or small bodies will be
scanned. There is a colour and a relief scan. The relief scan is measuring the height of structure or small body exactly. From both
informations (colour and shape) will be build up a 6d image in the computer. It
can be manipulated in most manifold ways. After this will be calculated a 5d picture, which can be displayed on a monitor or printed with normal colours (YMCK,
or others). The result are perfect colour and perfect shape modulated images.
What you get out of this procedure is a better photography! You remember the
rule for computers: Garbage in - garbage out! This means for photography:
What your camera does not see, you cannot print! Very simple, but the truth is,
that a standard photography looses nearly all the 3d informations of the original
in the moment, the shot is done! It is the main reason a photography does not
look like reality.
Let us have a closer look at the 6to5-Scan procedure. 3d originals send out signals, which will give a human brain a 3d imagination, even if you use only one
eye. This signals are nothing else than light to dark vignettes. But the problem
is, light to dark vignettes can also be generated by changing of colours. Imagine
the colour red of a tulip can change from light red to dark red and this got nothing to do with the shape! So the problem of the classical photography is, it will
make a superposition of light to dark vignettes caused by shape and changing
colour. Like this, both vignettes are not independent manipulable. 6to5-Scan
gets colour and shape independently, so the important vignettes light to dark
will also be independently. Like this, they can be treated in a different way to
produce the correct imaginations in the brain for colour (colour management)
and for shape. It is important to understand: The shape necessary corrections
are totally different to the colour corrections. The results of this new procedure
are spectacular. If the virtual height of the flat printed image is adjusted with
the correct amplification, then original and print are not distinguishable! Application range of 6to5-Scan: Printed Displays: Laminate: Wood, stone, fantasy
Surface of furnitures: Wood, stone, fantasy Synthetic flooring: Wood, stone,
fantasy Proofing of datas for embossing Wallpaper Textiles Ceramics Paintings
Advertising: Magazines, large printed diplays Packaging Monitors (displays) TV

The complete system still includes the new ”DRAABE NanoFog” humidifier generation, which sprays the water treated by DuoPur directly into the room selected for humidification. Up to four NanoFog high-pressure humidifiers with a
maximum overall humidification output of 12 kg water per hour can be supplied
by one DuoPur high-pressure water treatment sys-tem. With new nano-nozzle
technology, the humidifiers are hardly audible, thus fulfilling the requirements of
noise-sensitive production and workstations. The desired air humidity is controlled by the new digital control ”HumSpot”, which measures the humidity in the
room selected for humidi-fication, displays the current status, and activates the
humidifiers as required. The complete package will be available Including all

The largest temporary DRAABE air humidification
system is being installed in Düsseldorf on 12,000 sqm
In the drupa trade fair halls 1 and 2 of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG,air
humidification specialist DRAABE (Germany) is set to mount the largest temporary air humidification and water treatment system it has ever installed. In order
to ensure optimal production conditions for the printing demonstrations with a
relative air humidity of 55%, a total of 33 DRAABE TurboFog 32 atomizers must
be installed on a surface of 12,000 sqm. In addition to the high-pressure air
humidification, all Heidelberg printing machines are supplied with standardized
process water via a DRAABE pure water system. The challenging logistics and
intensive construction activities must be coordinated with the Düsseldorf trade
fair and Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG within a tight deadline in order not
to disrupt the trade fair business prior to drupa and preparations of the printing machine manufacturer. The air humidification specialist can rely on its extensive drupa experience for support: this will be the forth time that DRAABE
has been commissioned by Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG to install an airhumidification system since 1995.
Under the motto ”Success is in the air”, DRAABE will also present a new highpressure technology and the new atomiser generation ”DRAABE NanoFog” at
the sector event in Düsseldorf (Hall 16, Stand 16D43). A preview of the new

DRAABE DuoPur
For optimal air humidification in small rooms (smaller printing halls, CTP, digital printing) traditional high pressure systems with separate water treatment are often not viable for
economic reasons. The new “2-in-1 system” DuoPur is the
perfect solution for small room humidification. The special
portable high-pressure pure water module installed in a small
container combines the functions of water treatment and
high-pressure pulsation in one device. Optimal energy consumption and maximum health protection are guaranteed by
the unique DRAABE full-service maintenance concept. The new system is available in a complete package with up to four NanoFog high-pressure air humidifiers and the digital control DRAABE HumSpot.
215
For all applications which rely on microfine atomisation, low operating noise and an attractive design - the
NanoFog is the perfect system. Small printing halls,
low ceilings, low humidity requirements or sensitive production (CTP, digital printing) and offices - the new
NanoFog ensures optimal air humidification almost invisibly in the room. Compared with compressed air or steam humidification, only a small proportion of
the energy costs are required for nanofine atomization. The new NanoFog can
be combined with all DRAABE high-pressure atomizers.
DRAABE TurboFog
The TurboFog air humidification system offers customized designs for a range of applications. Whether
humidification is needed in the pre-press, printing hall,
finishing, storehouse or office – the TurboFog system is
always extremely quiet and totally drip-free. The flexible choice of combinations of the different nozzle guarantees optimum humidification results and economical operation.

The GENERATION NEWS Platesetter uses proven KODAK SQUARESPOT
Imaging Technology, eliminating process variation found in visible light and UV
systems. The stability of the system means higher quality and more consistent
production, reducing the need for remakes. In addition, the high speed of the
system allows customers to achieve the same productivity with fewer plate lines,
reducing their equipment investment and space requirements.
The Los Angeles Times is going to be a beta site for the GENERATION NEWS
System. Greg Malcolm, Director of Operations at the newspaper, said, “We’re
excited about the opportunity to work with Kodak on the introduction of the GENERATION NEWS System. The new platesetter appears to have more capabilities than what is currently on the market.” The Los Angeles Times prints more
than 800,000 daily copies and 1.3 million copies on weekends.
KODAK GENERATION NEWS System Maximizes
Throughput and Saves Time for Newspaper Printers
Newspapers able to produce more plates and get to
press more quickly
ROCHESTER, N.Y., April 11—A new level of productivity and automation in
thermal digital platesetting is being introduced with the KODAK GENERATION
NEWS System. Newspaper printers will get their first look at the new computer
to plate (CTP) technology at Kodak’s display (Booth 1100) at NEXPO, part of
the Capital Conference ’08 being held in Washington, D.C., April 12-16.
The GENERATION NEWS System has advanced automation features that help
newspaper printers better manage deadline pressures. The KODAK GENERATION NEWS Platesetter has multiple plate cassettes, enabling fast plate loading
and unloading of multiple plate sizes. Newspaper printers can load up to 1,600
broadsheet plates or 800 panorama plates, running continuously with no operator intervention. Integrated plate size selection, slip sheet removal, transport
to the imaging engine, centering, and registration are all automated to eliminate
errors.
“With the KODAK GENERATION NEWS System, we have improved productivity
yet again without sacrificing the quality and stability of thermal imaging systems.
225
Part of an integrated Kodak solution, the GENERATION NEWS Platesetter uses
KODAK THERMALNEWS GOLD Digital Plates, which are rated for more than
200,000 impressions. At 1.270 dpi, KODAK STACCATO Screening enables
printers to print dots as small as 25 microns. The GENERATION NEWS System works with a full range of workflow solutions, including KODAK NEWSMANAGER Workflow System. The KODAK MERCURY P-HD Plate Processor is recommended with the GENERATION NEWS Platesetter because it provides fast
processing, automated plate handling, and a compact footprint.
“The flexibility of the KODAK GENERATION NEWS System is essential for
newspapers that handle a variety of different publications and semi commercial print jobs,” said Nathanael Eijbersen, Product Manager, Newspaper Output
Devices, Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group. “It has the features necessary for high volume pressroom operations and the quality required to attract
profitable commercial business.”
KODAK Products are backed by KODAK Service and Support. KODAK Service and Support is made up of more than 3,000 professionals reaching more

the first planned product with this new technology, the 4 inch Stream Concept
Printhead from Kodak is designed to produce a deep, rich black at 600 dpi on
glossy substrates, and to be easy to operate and service.
drupa visitors will see the KODAK VERSAMARK VT3000 Printing System based
on Kodak’s traditional continuous inkjet platform. A scaleable solution that can
be customized for speed, configuration and color based on unique customer
needs, the VT3000 System is ideal for transactional and TransPromo applications and will be printing a transactional job live on Kodak’s stand. Capable of
maximum speeds of 500 feet per minute that yield up to 2,040 pages per minute,
the system can produce monochrome, spot and process color printing all on the
same platform.
Also on display at drupa, the new KODAK VERSAMARK VL2000 Printing System utilizes DOD print technology for a direct mail application from a “white paper
in” configuration. The system will be formally launched at drupa and is ideal for
transactional and commercial print environments with volumes ranging from 1
million to 5 million impressions per month. It employs roll to roll operation at
600 dpi x 600 dpi and a maximum speed of 250 feet per minute at up to 18.67
inches in width, and eliminates the redundant process of printing full color shells
for transactional applications.
“As the industry accelerates the pace of adoption of digital printing, our commercial inkjet portfolio based on these three technology platforms will continue
to provide customers with preferred roll fed solutions,” said Rosello.

In response to the emergence of the extremely wide format market and the adoption of presses with formats as wide as 80 pages and beyond, Kodak will introduce an XLF platesetter in the first quarter of 2008. The KODAK MAGNUS XLF
80 QUANTUM Platesetter supports extremely large formats up to 80 pages. The
MAGNUS XLF 80 Platesetter is based on the market leading KODAK MAGNUS
VLF Platesetter, which is the fastest fully automated very large format platesetter
on the market. The MAGNUS XLF 80 Platesetter will offer all of the features that
are critically important to wide format commercial printing operations, including
high speeds of up to 48 plates per hour at resolutions of 2,400 dpi. For packaging converters, Kodak is expanding the capabilities of the KODAK FLEXCEL
NX Digital Flexographic System. The FLEXCEL NX System will now be able to
produce plates up to a maximum size of 800 x 1067 mm, allowing converters
to use it for a broader range of applications. The FLEXCEL NX Digital Flexographic System is designed to deliver greater latitude on press, improving the
consistency and repeatability of the printed result. Capable of high resolution
242

flexographic printing, it provides previously unachievable offset class print quality on a wide variety of substrates, including paper, flexible film, foil, and label
stock. Kodak is a global leader in digital plates and at drupa will demonstrate
significant advances that strengthen this position. Visitors will be able to see the
latest innovations in Kodak’s no preheat positive plate technology.
In addition, drupa visitors will see technology advances that support sustainability. Currently, KODAK THERMAL DIRECT Non Process Plates help customers
reduce environmental impact by eliminating the need for a plate processor and
processing chemistry. Customers can lower their water and electricity usage
and remove the negative environmental impacts of chemistry transportation and
disposal. Building on the success of THERMAL DIRECT Non Process Plates,
Kodak will expand the family of plates that support sustainability. New plate
technologies will allow a broader group of printers to move toward a positive
green footprint and extend the non process technology to other segments of the
printing industry.
In addition to introducing new CTP solutions, Kodak announces that it will expand its plate manufacturing facility in Xiamen, China, with the addition of a
second production line. Opened just two months ago, the state of the art facility produces both digital and conventional printing plates. The opening and
expansion of the Xiamen facility is in response to the growing demand for KODAK Plates worldwide, as well as part of Kodak’s commitment to provide plate
production close to customers and tailor product to local needs.
Featured Solutions: Unified Workflow Kodak’s efficient, comprehensive Unified
Workflow solutions, which intelligently automate and integrate business, data,
color and production processes for both conventional and digital production, will
be featured at drupa 2008.
A series of new features and functions in the KODAK PRINERGY Workflow
System 5.0 allows users to process static and variable data printing (VDP)
jobs through the same workflow, manage end to end color on multiple devices,
and automate complex routines in print production workflows. The PRINERGY
Workflow System 5.0 features a revolutionary new digital print management tool
designed to optimize productivity for digital applications, and for the first time delivers a comprehensive solution integrating both conventional and digital workflows. The PRINERGY Workflow System 5.0 also features a new color handling
platform designed to simplify and automate color management tasks by integrating ICC profiles, calibration curves and color recipes into one single device
based print condition.
With the introduction of the newest versions of KODAK INSITE Variable Data
Desktop Software Version 4.0 and the KODAK PRINERGY Digital Print System
Version 5.0, Kodak will extend the capability of its Unified Workflow solutions
243
to encompass the planning, creating, and executing of personalized, integrated
marketing campaigns.
The KODAK INSITE family delivers support for both inbound and outbound
channels to offer a comprehensive communication solution including Personalized URL (PURL) support, variable email, personalized landing pages and VDP.
Tight integration to the KODAK PRINERGY Digital Print System delivers the intelligent automation required to fulfill the printed components in an “ultraefficient”
way to maximize profitability and effectiveness.
KODAK DARWIN Software will serve as the content creation tool and collaboration platform with KODAK INSITE Software Version 4.0. DARWIN Version
3.0 software includes robust features to streamline the process of creative content development while giving higher productivity to users with advanced and
professional VDP requirements.

for enterprise resource planning (ERP) and management information system
(MIS) functions is now commercially available in North America. EMS Business
Software provides management for the totality of a printer’s business and serves
as a catalyst for change, creating business efficiency and delivering real time

Faster Digital Black and White System Previewed
Attendees at drupa can visit the “futures area” on the show floor and find a
preview of the new KODAK DIGIMASTER EX300 Digital Production System, a
unique addition to the highly successful DIGIMASTER family. With exceptional
dependability, the EX300 will be the fastest cut sheet black and white electrophotographic printer in the market, printing at a rate of 18,000 images per hour (A4).

Drive New Color Applications with New Inks
Printed materials from NEXPRESS Presses already have market leading image
quality that visually stands out from others. With the introduction of the new
KODAK NEXPRESS Intelligent Dimensional Coating Solution and the KODAK
NEXPRESS Dimensional Clear Dry Ink, now they stand out even further with
look and feel. Intelligent Dimensional Coating and Dimensional Clear Dry Ink
combine to create a raised printing effect that enables tactile effects so that images can have a dimensional feel that mimics the surface of the items in the
image. For example, customers can print an image of an orange that feels like
an orange or wood grain that feels like wood grain. For added versatility, users
can identify specific areas of the image that are to be raised and specify variable
heights.
In conjunction with the KODAK NEXPRESS Fifth Imaging Unit, this unique ink
can be used on any of the wide range of substrates that the NEXPRESS Presses
support, and create raised text or graphics on business cards, greeting cards,
invitations, educational degrees, or direct mail and collateral.
Using this distinctive capability, the KODAK NEXPRESS Intelligent Dimensional
Coating Solution helps print providers create a competitive advantage by offering a unique capability that extends digital color printing into new application
areas, which enables them to differentiate themselves and take advantage of
the opportunity to sell higher value print.
New Substrates Open More Markets
Kodak adds even more flexibility to the NEXPRESS Platform with the expansion of additional unconventional substrates to the qualified list for the KODAK
NEXPRESS S3600, S3000, S2500, S2100, 2500 and 2100 Plus Digital Production Color Presses. These unique substrates include synthetics, magnetic
stock, carbonless and pre converted substrates such as ID cards and presentation folders. With one of the most versatile ranges of substrates in the industry,
these enable print providers to continually adapt to the demands of their clients
for more attention grabbing communications pieces that distinguish their products or services.
New Services and Tools to Help Grow Your Business
Kodak customers participating in the KODAK MARKETMOVER Business Development Services now have more opportunities to maximize their profit potential
and grow their business. The new KODAK MARKETMOVER Resource Center, being demonstrated at drupa, features enhanced navigation capabilities in
five languages, new tools to help users identify materials of most value to them,
and an updated easy to use user interface that allows customers to interact with
content.

Kodak’s Integrated Solutions and Offset Class Output
Draw Global Crowd at drupa 2008
DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, June 4 – drupa 2008 has so far been bathed in
251
a yellow glow, and not just because of the bright sunshine. The buzz around
Kodak is tangible, with visitors flocking to stand D01 in hall 5 to see the first
drupa appearance of Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group (GCG), and the
broad range of integrated solutions on show.
“Print is Powerful, and drupa proves it”, says Kevin Joyce, Chief Marketing Officer, GCG, Vice President, Kodak. “The show is a global meeting place for the
brightest and best in print, and our booth is crowded with visitors from every
continent. We’re particularly happy to be engaging so many printers from China
and India, both markets critical to future success. Demonstrations are booking
early, we are taking substantial orders right across the product portfolio, and
our Stream Concept Press unveiled here in Düsseldorf is a major focal point,
demonstrating that Kodak leads the way in inkjet innovation with breakthrough
Continuous Inkjet Technology.”
Also capturing attention in the inkjet arena is the new KODAK VERSAMARK
VL2000 System, which utilizes Drop On Demand print technology for direct mail
applications. Visitors are also excited by two new Kodak plate technologies
that deliver exceptional levels of stability, quality and productivity: the KODAK
ELECTRA XD Thermal Printing Plate for offset printing and the new KODAK
FLEXCEL NX Flexographic Printing System which provides gravure quality.
Process automation is a dominant theme at the show, and Kodak’s Unified Workflow Solutions have attracted particular attention. In addition to the newest KODAK PRINERGY Workflow System Version 5.0, highlights are the KODAK INSITE Campaign Manager, which allows printers to deliver value-added marketing services to their customers, and the KODAK COLORFLOW Software, which
aligns color across devices, enabling total color relationship management. The
Kodak brand catches the eye around the show, with Kodak products on partner
booths in more than two thirds of the halls. All around the fairground, visitors are
sporting Kodak’s yellow bags, and Euro 2008 soccer fever has reached the Kodak booth, with spirited competition for Kodak’s branded footballs. “Technology
always gets the attention at drupa, and Kodak’s range of solutions for offset class
output are stealing the show” adds Joyce. “Customers want reliability, productivity, substrate variety, the right cost of operation and quality. Kodak delivers
on all five, with solutions in litho, inkjet, electrophotographic and flexo.”

Transcontinental Improves Automation with KODAK
Unified Workflow Solutions
DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, June 5—Transcontinental O’Keefe Montreal produces 500 jobs per month, ranging from magazines and posters to hang tags
for clothing. With a KODAK PRINERGY Workflow System as the backbone of
its production workflow, Transcontinental O’Keefe is finding new ways to easily automate many workflow related tasks that are manual, including confirming
orders, creating jobs, reviewing proofs and more.
“We use PRINERGY Software and do great imposition work with KODAK
PREPS Software, but not too long ago we were still relying on paper, pencil, and
a calculator for creating layouts,” said Rob Lisi, Prepress Manager at Transcontinental. “The click of a wrong key would spell the difference between profit
and loss on a job.” Additional software from Kodak helped Transcontinental implement end to end automation, from online job submission via KODAK INSITE
Prepress Portal System to production planning with KODAK UPFRONT Production Planning Software and imposition, production, reporting and archiving with
the PRINERGY Workflow System.
Lisi added, “Although implementing UPFRONT Software and the automation
required people to change the way they work, our productivity had doubled within
two months. Automation saved us 11 hours of labor per day and let us recover
our investment in just under four and a half months.”
After six months, the results were in and Lisi could see that the automation program offered quantifiable results that would interest other Transcontinental facilities. Lisi organized a meeting of prepress managers in North America and
presented them with the results of his program. Two sites have already followed

Campaign Manager provides analysis and management of customer data, creating even more relevant and effective targeted communications. Fully integrated
with the KODAK Unified Workflow Solutions, INSITE Campaign Manager is an
innovative solution that is able to define each element of a marketing campaign,
including outbound and inbound channels, landing sites, personalized URLs,

254
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
to create marketing campaigns “Kodak delivers a comprehensive solution for
digital print and for campaigns that link with online strategies,” said Jon Bracken,
VP Marketing and Channels, Enterprise Solutions, Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group. “INSITE Campaign Manager makes it possible for users to maximize results by assisting with the planning, executing and measuring of communication campaigns, and provides a much needed edge in a highly competitive
market.”
Corporate enterprises today are more demanding than ever and require maximum return on their marketing investments, evaluating each effort for reach and
effectiveness. Similarly, print service providers today are working to find ways
to redefine and expand their businesses while meeting the needs of current customers and attracting new ones.
INSITE Campaign Manager is ideally suited to help both demographics. Print
service providers adopting the solution are able to offer the services most
needed by their customers: campaign creation; data mining and management;
the ability to segment customers and tailor offers that appeal to each group;
seamless integration with KODAK INSITE Variable Data Print System; Adobe®
Dreamweaver® CS3 software integration to create landing sites and HTML
email outbound channels; connectivity with third-party email blast vendors; the
ability to generate secure personalized URLs; metrics tracking; and campaign
ROI reporting. And corporate enterprises partnering with a print service provider
using INSITE Campaign Manager will benefit from an integrated solution that ties
together print and digital channels.
At drupa, Kodak also is showing the INSITE Variable Data Print System 4.0,
a major new release with more robust cross media variable data print features
used for applications such as direct mailers. It uses KODAK DARWIN Desktop
Software 3.0, a new version of the software launching at drupa, for the creation
of print and HTML templates, and adds a workflow component to variable data
printing by leveraging the KODAK INSITE Creative Workflow System. “Having
the option to incorporate variable data into your marketing campaign is critical,
and Kodak provides the technology to manage the process,” added Bracken.
“Our customers have relied on our enabling technology for years, and by integrating INSITE VDP System with the new KODAK PRINERGY Digital Workflow
System and our Unified Workflow, we are making it easier for them to offer a full
suite of services to their customers.”

Royal Broese & Peereboom Eliminates Plate
Production Shifts, Increases Overall Print Capacity
KODAK MAGNUS 800Z QUANTUM Platesetter improves bottom line
257
DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, June 3—For nearly 225 years, Royal Broese &
Peereboom in Breda, Holland, has been working with its customers to deliver
the most efficient, high quality solutions in prepress and printing. It provides offset and digital printing for the Dutch market as well as international clients based
around the world, and its 100 employees specialize in producing everything from
brochures and financial reports to b2b communications and other promotional
materials.
The installation of a KODAK MAGNUS 800Z QUANTUM Platesetter, along with
a KODAK PRINERGY Workflow System, at Royal Broese & Peereboom has
been so successful that the company, which occupies a modern 6,000 square
meter facility, eliminated the night shift in its prepress department and now produces all of the plates required for the pressroom during the day.
“After testing the MAGNUS 800Z QUANTUM Platesetter for about two months,
we decided to put it into production. The speed of 60 plates per hour, the automation based on the Multi Cassette Unit and the printing quality were all perfect for our needs, and will allow us to accelerate our production,” said Royal
Broese & Peereboom General Manager Wim Merkx. “The implementation of
the MAGNUS 800Z QUANTUM Platesetter has resulted in huge benefits both
in the prepress department and the pressroom.”
The company, which is ISO and FSC certified, found that the ease of use makes
the machine ideal for unattended operation, and the large plate receiver is able to
handle the needed volume of imaged plates. With six multicolor HEIDELBERG
sheet fed presses, ranging from an A3 PRINTMASTER to two HEIDELBERG
XL Presses with a sheet size of 750 mm x 1,050 mm, the ability to hold four
different plate sizes within the KODAK Multi Cassette Unit enables the company
to supply the appropriate plates to all of its presses. In addition, the MAGNUS
800Z QUANTUM Platesetter automatically selects the correct plate for the next
job to be handled.
The automation features of the platesetter enable the Royal Broese & Peereboom operators to prepare the jobs and set the device to produce plates
overnight with no manual intervention. When the press operators arrive in the
morning, plates for the first jobs of the day are ready to go. The company has
been operating like this for several months, and the reliable performance of the
device has made this possible.
“We also have experienced some major advantages in the pressroom, with much
faster makereadies allowing us to reduce paper waste and produce more work,”
added Merkx. “With approximately 10,000 jobs a year, significant savings on
makeready times across all of our presses obviously has a major impact on cost
effectiveness.” The KODAK MAGNUS 800Z QUANTUM Platesetter employs a
new, advanced thermal head that generates double the laser power of earlier
258
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
MAGNUS Platesetters. The new thermal head not only increases the speed of
plate production, but also provides broader imaging latitude and higher stability
in case of plate sensitivity variations.

for two Z Speed variants on Kodak’s booth at drupa - the world’s largest printing
exhibition. The investment also comprises the powerful open standards workflow management system, KODAK NEWSMANAGER and KODAK PRINERGY
EVO Software, a powerful PDF workflow management tool for high performance
newspaper prepress, which enables a flexible, automated workflow from edition
plan to plate production.
Archant, which already uses KODAK NEWSETTER Systems and KODAK
THERMALNEWS GOLD Digital Plates, made the investment in the advanced
GENERATION NEWS Systems in order to increase capacity and maximize
throughput of its newly expanded facility.
Archant Print’s Managing Director Nick Schiller says, “Recent expansion of our
print operation required increased capacity and redundancy, so we took the decision to strengthen our existing technology with Kodak’s new GENERATION
NEWS Systems.”
The GENERATION NEWS Platesetter has multiple plate cassettes, enabling
fast plate loading and unloading of multiple plate sizes. The system can load up
to 1600 broadsheet plates or 800 panorama plates while running continuously
with no operator intervention. Integrated plate size selection, slip sheet removal,
and three point registration are all automated to eliminate errors.
“Archant was the first company in the UK to install Kodak’s NEWSETTER System and we are pleased to once again be the first to purchase Kodak’s next
generation of thermal platesetter”, continues Schiller. “We have always been extremely impressed with thermal technology and this latest investment in Kodak’s
breakthrough GENERATION NEWS System is set to further strengthen our capabilities as each platesetter will enable us to image 268 broadsheet plates per
hour at 391mm width and at 1270 dpi.
“As a high-performance newspaper printer, it is also vital that our entire workflow
is managed efficiently. The impressive attributes of KODAK NEWSMANAGER
Software will afford us further new productivity enhancing benefits by automating
and managing the production of plates, thereby delivering greater versatility and
freeing up resources”, he adds.

KODAK NEXPRESS Digital Production Color Presses
Approved and Licensed by Pantone
and color consistency of KODAK NEXPRESS Digital Color Production Presses.
Pantone, Inc., a world leader in color standards, licensed all KODAK NEXPRESS Digital Production Color Presses as approved for the PANTONE®
MATCHING SYSTEM® and the new PANTONE GOE™ System.
Achieving Pantone approval is confirmation that a production device is capable
of achieving approved PANTONE Colors. The color range is larger than ever,
with Pantone’s introduction in late 2007 of the new PANTONE GOE System,
which adds more than 2,000 unique colors to the just less than 1,200 in the
PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM.
“Pantone licensing is news that can help NEXPRESS Press users sell more
digital print work by differentiating their print output,” said Steve Fletcher, General Manager, Electrophotographic Printing Solutions, and Vice President, Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group. “It lets print buyers know that their print
provider will be able to meet their image quality expectations with the NEXPRESS Presses and that the final print will match their design requirements.”
The PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM and PANTONE GOE System designations apply to the following NEXPRESS Presses: S3000, S2500, S2100, 2500,
2100 Plus and 2100. New installations, as well as those already at customers’
locations, are approved according to PANTONE Color standards.
“Receiving official Pantone approval involves a rigorous process to assure that
a device can deliver the highest standards of accurate color reproduction,” said
Andy Hatkoff, Vice President of Advanced Color Systems, Pantone. “The ability to reproduce PANTONE Color standards consistently and accurately provides major advantages that increase customer loyalty and business for print
providers.”
“This industry renowned standard is further substantiation that Kodak is dedicated to providing innovative solutions that meet the demanding needs of the
graphic communications market as print providers continue to adopt and use digital printing as a way to expand their business and profit from the many changes
occurring in the industry,” continued Fletcher.

Kodak Announces Five New JDF Certifications for
KODAK PRINERGY Workflow System
Latest additions give PRINERGY more JDF certifications and compliance than
any other workflow solution on the market
DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, June 3—Kodak believes strongly in the key role
that Job Definition Format (JDF) plays in automating graphic arts workflow by
bringing together disparate systems from a variety of suppliers and enabling
them to speak the same language. With its five new JDF certifications for
KODAK PRINERGY Workflow System, Kodak now offers more JDF certifications and compliance than any other workflow solution on the market, enabling
PRINERGY to better integrate and communicate with a wide variety of peripheral solutions, including Management Information Systems (MIS). These five
new certifications demonstrate Kodak’s ongoing commitment to the JDF movement across the industry.
“We are dedicated to expanding and enhancing our support for JDF throughout
the Unified Workflow, providing a flexible and powerful set of solutions that enable our customers to maximize productivity and efficiency through integration,”
said Judi Hess, General Manager, Enterprise Solutions, Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group, and Vice President, Eastman Kodak Company. The five
new JDF certifications include: • JDF MIS to Prepress certification for KODAK
PRINERGY Connect • JDF 1.0 Layout Creator to Imposition certification for KODAK PRINERGY Connect • JDF 1.3 Layout Creator to Imposition certification for
KODAK PRINERGY Connect • JDF 1.0 Layout Creator to Imposition certification
for KODAK PRINERGY Evo • JDF 1.3 Layout Creator to Imposition certification
263
for KODAK PRINERGY Evo The JDF MIS to Prepress certification specifies
the information to be exchanged between an MIS and a workflow system, including the way to describe the information and the method of communication.
This means that two certified systems—even from different vendors—will have
a level of interoperability when installed, allowing for job creation, specification,
of impositions, and tracking of materials.
The JDF Layout Creator to Imposition specification dictates how an imposition
application describes fully imposed pages to a workflow system and how that
workflow system will render the information. Both certifications further enhance
the print service providers’ ability to reduce errors, cut down on waste, and expand visibility into the production workflow.
“As a committed member of the CIP4 organization, we regard JDF certification
for our product as key in supporting Kodak’s Unified Workflow goal of open connectivity,” noted Nick Benkovich, Product Manager, Enterprise Solutions, Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group. “These additional five certifications in
combination with our three previous certifications clearly demonstrate Kodak’s
leadership position in support of this important open industry standard.”
JDF is vitally important to all printers and enables production efficiency by ensuring devices in a workflow can communication with each other. In addition,
JDF’s ability to bridge the gap between production and MIS gives users a better
overall view of the entire process, including real time costs and profitability. The
five new JDF certifications will be included with KODAK PRINERGY Workflow
System, Version 5.0.

Kodak Unites INSITE Storefront System and EMS
Business Software for Seamless Flow of Information
from Customer Order to Job Completion
Combined solution enables print service providers to manage online activities
as part of an overall business strategy
ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 16—By creating connectivity between the KODAK INSITE Storefront System and KODAK EMS Business Software, Kodak provides
an end to end, integrated solution that takes the customer’s order online and
sends it to the business management system—eliminating the need to manually rekey customer orders for job management, processing and invoicing. The
new functionality dramatically reduces the cost of processing online orders, and
extends the business management reach of EMS Business Software to nontraditional print products and services that are frequently ordered online.
Using cXML format, Kodak linked two of its most powerful systems to allow
graphic communications companies to introduce more automation into the production process. The connected system provides an unprecedented level of
functionality for printing companies.

www.drupa.de
using KODAK EMS Software, shipment information including the ship date and
tracking number is sent back to the INSITE Storefront System. “By automating
the processing of web based orders, we greatly reduce the potential for human
error and the costs of handling these orders,” said Eliza Leung, Product Manager for Kodak’s Business Workflow Products. “The integrated EMS SoftwareINSITE System solution gives Kodak customers full business control over their
web based transactions, and helps them analyze, manage and grow their online
businesses as part of their overall corporate strategies.”
KODAK EMS Business Software is a complete business workflow solution that
helps manage the totality of a graphic communications business. Combining the
strength of a leading ERP solution with sophisticated print focused capabilities,
EMS Software serves as a catalyst for business optimization and growth, reducing waste and implementing lean business practices that maximize the success
of print service providers in a changing business environment. EMS Software
offers real time access to business data; integrated customer and supplier relationship management; advanced estimating and production planning; shop floor
data collection; integrated quality control; and much more. The integrated solution will be deployed initially at LVI, a print service provider located in Boston,
Mass. “We were the first commercial printer to go live with EMS Business Software and it serves as the backbone of our PRINT OPTIMIZATION operating
ethos,” said Christopher Wells, CEO at LVI. “Integration between EMS and INSITE Storefront will extend our automation and management control to our online business, while increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of our customers’
online print procurement.”
EMS Software can drive production at a single site or be used to link hundreds
of users across multiple facilities. EMS Software integrates with other KODAK
and third party products, and offers KODAK PRINERGY Business Link Software
connectivity via JDF.
The KODAK INSITE Storefront System offers everything print service providers
need to support online ordering. It provides catalogs from which customers can

Salmat BusinessForce Helps ING Australia Develop
Successful Integrated Marketing Program with KODAK
VERSAMARK VX5000 Printing System
DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, June 1—Headquartered in Australia, Salmat
BusinessForce is one of the leading outsourced business service providers in
the Asia Pacific region, delivering inbound and outbound communication management, results processing, and information management services. With its
KODAK VERSAMARK VX5000 Printing System and a clear understanding of
the power of targeted communications, Salmat BusinessForce delivers market
changing services and solutions to its customers.
Salmat BusinessForce is focused on providing customized solutions for applications in print, mail services, invoice and statement management, insurance
claim processing, and accounts payable right through to more complex business process solutions and marketing programs. This is one of four divisions of
the Salmat Worldwide network, all of which pride themselves on enabling one
to one communications. Since its founding in 1979, Salmat has expanded to 51
offices worldwide.
“Our goal is to help customers make the most of available technology to enhance the performance of their businesses,” said Pat O’Sullivan, General Manager, Marketing, Salmat BusinessForce. “With the powerful software and hardware solutions available today, we have been able to leverage our integrated
270

marketing expertise to deliver the results customers need to stay ahead of the
competition.”
One of their recent success stories is a project completed for ING Australia Limited. It illustrates the power of an integrated marketing campaign using digital
full color communication that increases response rates and exceeds customer
expectations. Due to changes in Australian superannuation law that regulates
retirement accounts, ING Australia needed to communicate with and educate
members regarding their superannuation accounts. The goal was to increase
the number of rollovers and contributions received by helping members grow
their superannuation savings and capitalize on simpler superannuation account
management opportunities. ING Australia planned to communicate the relevant
legislative changes to its customers, but knew that not all customers needed to
be informed about all changes and that customers could be overwhelmed by
the information. Salmat BusinessForce and its partners were invited to find a
solution to the challenge.
nities.”
Using its KODAK VERSAMARK VX5000 Printing System to print in full color with
flexible formatting, Salmat BusinessForce designed a strategic program to deliver appropriate, targeted communications to each customer to maximize contributions to their accounts. Data that included customers’ ages, salary, and Tax
File Numbers (TFNs) was gathered, cleaned, de-duped, and formatted to create printed material in full color that spoke directly to each customer’s specific
situation. When TFNs were not on record, an additional page was added to the
mail package to ask for that information. “Salmat BusinessForce and its partners
showed us how to turn an essential mail campaign into a formidable marketing
tool. Being able to use essential mail to deliver targeted marketing messages
has opened a new door for us,” noted Elizabeth Houteas, Sales Strategies and
Support Manager, Employer Superannuation, ING Australia. “Our expectations
were without a doubt exceeded and we will continue to use more intelligent marketing within essential mail to maximize member value.”
Salmat BusinessForce has leveraged KODAK Solutions to become one of the
leading providers of integrated marketing campaigns and high quality digital
printing in the world, and the success of the ING Australia project exhibits the
potential of this technology to significantly increase recipient response rates.
The efforts significantly increased the amount of money invested and earned by
members participating in the program.

DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, May 29—A new technical paper from the SpencerLab Digital Color Laboratory quantifies that output produced by the Stream Concept Press from Kodak demonstrates the potential of reaching Offset Class print
quality. The report, commissioned by Kodak and available at the company’s
drupa stand (D01, Hall 5) and at www.spencerlab.com, documents results from
a study that compared output from the Stream Concept Press from Kodak to
output from an offset press.
The SpencerLab report indicates that output from the Stream Concept Press
is comparable to or approaching 175 lpi offset print quality, with images edging
above 133 lpi and approaching 175 lpi quality on all three media types tested.
Analysts found that while there were some areas of print quality that still need
development, several areas were identified in which the Stream Concept Press
from Kodak promises to surpass offset print quality. Images, tints and blends,
and text and lines were noted for their impressive print quality.
“We believe the Stream Concept Press is a very successful ‘proof of concept’
device and we see the potential for a press that, upon maturity, will be able
to provide competitive offset class output,” said David Spencer, President of
Spencer & Associates Publishing, Ltd., which operates SpencerLab. “With its
high speed full digital capability and quality comparable to or approaching offset,
the Stream Concept Press has the potential of being a key player in the growth
segment of inkjet printing.”
Offset printing at 133 line and 175 line screen was supervised on site at the Print
Applications Laboratory at the Rochester Institute of Technology by SpencerLab
personnel, as was printing on the Stream Concept Press. Print quality was analyzed comparatively by a team of experienced SpencerLab analysts—within the
expected range appropriate to the intended applications—noting the areas of
images, tints and blends, text and lines, and color gamut and density, all on appropriate media. Offset media equivalent to Stream developmental media—two
coated (glossy and dull finish) and one uncoated (plain)—were specified for the
tests. KODAK Stream Inkjet Technology is a continuous inkjet system that enables offset class reliability, productivity, cost and quality with the full benefits
of digital printing for high volume commercial applications. The Stream Concept Press from Kodak, on display at drupa, shows a system with resolution that

KODAK FLEXCEL NX Digital Flexographic System
Raises Quality to a New Level for Flexo Print Providers
in the Packaging Market
DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, May 29—The KODAK FLEXCEL NX Digital Flexographic System, previewed earlier and commercially available for the first time
at drupa 2008, represents a new way of making flexo printing plates for higher
levels of print quality, productivity, and stability. Providing extreme consistency
and high resolution, the FLEXCEL NX Digital Flexographic System gives converters and package printers a competitive advantage by helping them deliver
outstanding quality with a highly efficient solution. “The FLEXCEL NX Digital
Flexographic System is one of the most exciting and promising innovations this
275
industry has seen in a long time,” said John Cross, General Manager, Packaging Products, Prepress Solutions, Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group.
“The packaging market is poised for impressive growth because of increasingly
global brand competition that makes appearance more important than ever. Historically, flexographers have found ways to make the best of the flexo process,
but with this new solution, many of the variables and obstacles have been removed and providers will be able to consistently deliver the quality customers
demand.”
Providing offset class, gravure quality on a wide variety of substrates—including
paper, flexible film, foil, label stock, and folding cartons—the integrated FLEXCEL NX Digital Flexographic System includes the KODAK FLEXCEL NX Laminator, KODAK FLEXCEL NXH Digital Flexographic Plates, KODAK FLEXCEL
NX 830 Thermal Imaging Layer, KODAK TRENDSETTER NX Mid or Narrow
Imager, KODAK SQUARESPOT Imaging Technology, and KODAK PRINERGY
Workflow System for Packaging.
Because the Thermal Imaging Layer is laminated directly to the plate, there is
no issue with oxygen attack, enabling the formation of stable, full amplitude, flat
top dots on the plate. Also, this process helps ensure that plates do not plug
with ink as quickly as on other plates, so press uptime is dramatically increased
and highlight dots and subtle gradations are consistently reproduced for all applications.
“Coupled with extended run length, ease of setup, and longer plate life, the
FLEXCEL NX Digital Flexographic System takes package printing to an entirely
new level,” added Cross. “Kodak has identified the needs in the flexo market
and is committed to meeting those needs with a range of full featured, integrated
products.”
With the FLEXCEL NX Digital Flexographic System, Kodak has achieved 300 lpi
printing with densities in all colors above 2.0 with flexographic plates for the first
time, demonstrating outstanding quality and tonal range reproduction. drupa
2008 attendees will see these samples, as well as others, printed on a variety
of packaging substrates, and will be able to observe the imaging and laminating
process at the Kodak stand throughout the event.
Beta testers of the FLEXCEL NX Digital Flexographic System have already captured several awards for their work. A recent competition sponsored by the
Flexographic Technical Association saw nearly 600 entries submitted, and four
entries printed using the FLEXCEL NX System won awards. Additionally, the
Flexographic Pre-Press Platemakers Association (FPPA) presented the 2008
FPPA Technology Innovator of the Year awards recently at its annual meeting,
and the KODAK FLEXCEL NX Digital Flexographic System was one of three
products to earn the prestigious award. This marked the third time that Kodak

Fry Communications Ramps Up Plate Production with
New KODAK MAGNUS 800Z Quantum Platesetter
Device delivers more than 3,000 plates per week for growing operation; drupa
provides opportunity to investigate additional enhancements
DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, At Drupa—The new KODAK MAGNUS 800Z Quantum Platesetter, with its output capacity of 60 eight up plates per hour, replaces
two existing platesetters at Mechanicsburg, Penn. based Fry Communications
282
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
and is reliably meeting production needs 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The unit has been in service since late March and is one of seven KODAK Platesetters across the company.
“We have always favored Kodak imaging technology, and this new device is
meeting and exceeding our expectations,” said Alan Snyder, Prepress Operations Manager, Fry Communications. “When we get positive feedback from the
production floor, we know we’ve made the right choice. It is a great reflection
on the equipment.” Fry Communications, one of the United States’ largest privately held integrated communications companies, employs nearly 1,200 in five
facilities occupying 1 million square feet of space. The company began in 1934
as one of the first publishers of weekly shopping guides and brought printing in
house with its first offset press in 1967. Over the years, Fry has grown into the
business to business catalog and trade and consumer magazine markets with
nearly two dozen presses, more than two dozen binders, and a vast array of
auxiliary equipment.
The company investigated a number of options, and felt that the hourly throughput of the KODAK MAGNUS 800Z Quantum Platesetter would be an advantage,
particularly in the production of its weeklies. Using KODAK STACCATO Screening for high quality color reproduction, the company produces a wide variety of
products on its sheetfed and web offset presses. Fry feels that it’s important
for customers to see them investing in cutting edge technology, and the KODAK
MAGNUS 800Z Quantum Platesetter delivers benefits today while also positioning the company for growth in the future. The KODAK MAGNUS 800Z Quantum
Platesetter uses a new, advanced thermal head that generates double the laser
power of its MAGNUS Platesetter predecessors. The new thermal head not only
increases the speed of plate production, but it also provides broader imaging latitude and higher stability in case of plate sensitivity variations—making this one
of the most reliable and cost effective platesetters on the market.
For Rick Fesler, Fry Communications Prepress Manager, the biggest advantage
so far is that the device has been running constantly with no performance or
maintenance issues. “Installing a new piece of equipment into any workflow is
not always a smooth process,” he explained. “But the Kodak technicians did a
great job, and the training and support we got made it a very positive experience.
The number of plates coming off the device is amazing—it’s been the perfect
solution for our tight deadlines.”
Fry Communications uses KODAK THERMAL GOLD Digital Plates in its production and employs the KODAK PRINERGY Workflow System to drive the production processes in its facility. The company has won a number of industry awards
over the years, and continues to expand and diversify with new equipment and
new services.
283
Executives from Fry Communications see drupa as the perfect opportunity to
explore the latest products and solutions, and network with peers from around
the world. The ability to gain an understanding of global market trends and speak
with so many experts in one place is a key advantage for businesses committed
to long term success.

Kodak Breaks Traditional Flexo Barriers with First Ever
300 lpi Offset Job Produced with Flexographic Plates
KODAK FLEXCEL NX Digital Flexographic System highlights Williamson Printing Company tour
ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 15—To showcase the unmatched capabilities of the
new KODAK FLEXCEL NX Digital Flexographic System, Kodak wanted to tackle
284
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
a unique, historic print project that no one has ever dared to try with flexo technology. The company decided on a high quality 300 lpi movie poster, printed
exclusively with flexo plates, as part of a Williamson Printing Corporation facility tour during FTA’s INFO*FLEX show in Dallas last month. During the tour,
Williamson employed its newly installed FLEXCEL NX System to image offset
separations using offset angles and zero retouching on KODAK FLEXCEL NX
Digital Flexographic Plates. Those plates were then mounted on the coating
stations of Williamson’s hybrid HEIDELBERG SPEEDMASTER Sheetfed Offset
Press and the posters were printed at 300 lpi with densities in all colors exceeding 2.0.
“This was a very exciting event,” said Emma Schlotthauer, Global Business Director, Flexo Plate Products, Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group. “We are
very proud to be involved in this stage of flexo history. If the FLEXCEL NX System can produce such outstanding results under these challenging conditions,
just imagine what is being achieved in a regular flexo production environment
with these plates.”
More than 100 guests were on hand to witness the accomplishment, and many
expressed surprise at the impressive results. The 18 in. x 26 in. four color
process posters, printed with permission from Disney, were designed to promote
the soon to be released movie Prince Caspian, The Chronicles of Narnia, and will
be given out at Kodak’s drupa booth. This process had never been tried before
in the industry, and was designed with confidence to showcase the capabilities
of the FLEXCEL NX System.
“This print run showed that the FLEXCEL NX System is capable of printing in
very high densities without dot bridging,” said Peter Stolt, Director Global Technical Applications, Flexo & Packaging, Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group,
“and printing at 300 lpi provides further confirmation of the FLEXCEL NX Plate’s
performance, taking both Kodak and Williamson into the future of flexo technology.”
The FLEXCEL NX System has already been recognized by the industry for
its performance and underlying technology. Four projects produced with the
FLEXCEL NX System captured awards at the recent FTA event, and the Flexographic Pre-Press Platemakers Association (FPPA) presented one of its three
2008 FPPA Technology Innovator of the Year awards at its annual meeting to
the KODAK FLEXCEL NX Digital Flexographic System.
The FLEXCEL NX System offers users print stability over the entire run; repeatability from job to job; offset class, gravure quality with small highlight dots; and
more productivity to get jobs completed more quickly. It is designed for package
printers and converters, including tag and label printers, folding carton printers,
and flexible packaging printers.

Drukkerij Geers Puts New KODAK ELECTRA XD
Thermal Plate Through its Paces
Ghent-based printer beta tests new KODAK ELECTRA XD Thermal Plate,
alongside first European KODAK NEXPRESS S3000 Digital Production Color
Press
DUSSELDORF, GERMANY, June 2nd—Belgian printer Drukkerij Geers is one
of the first European print sites to test Kodak’s new ELECTRA XD Thermal Plate,
unveiled at Drupa 2008. The company was also the first European customer to
install the KODAK NEXPRESS S3000 Digital Production Color Press.
The family-owned company, which celebrates 80 years in business this year,
employs 105 people in a modern 6000 m2 facility, close to Ghent’s picturesque
canal quarter, generating turnover of 23 million Euros. The Geers brothers,
Denis and Philippe, whose grandfather founded the business, have harnessed
the company’s long print heritage to drive substantial growth in the last eight
years, with a focus on premium quality work such as art books, annual reports,
glossy magazines and fine art catalogues for customers including museums,
286
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
original artists and publishers. The customer base is spread across Belgium,
and neighboring Netherlands and France.
Drukkerij Geers offers its customers a total package from design and digital image capture to dispatch of the finished product. Real time color management
and remote and hard color proofing are critical factors in delivering to the company’s stringent quality parameters which apply, according to managing director
Denis Geers, whether the job in hand is a simple leaflet or a ‘coffee-table quality’
art book.
The company blends offset production from its eight small- and large-format
HEIDELBERG SPEEDMASTER Presses with digital output from two of Kodak’s
digital presses; a KODAK DIGIMASTER EX150 Digital Production System for
monochrome work, and the recently launched KODAK NEXPRESS S3000 Digital Production Color Press for full color work.
With so much offset firepower under one roof, the company’s plate production
volumes are predictably high: 8000 plates a month come off the company’s CTP
system, which has deployed the original KODAK ELECTRA HRL Thermal Plate
from the day of installation. These volumes, and the exacting quality standards
of Geers’ fine art customer base, made the company the ideal beta test site
for the new KODAK ELECTRA XD Thermal Plate, making its debut at Drupa.
The new plate exhibits impressive prepress and on press stability for excellent
resolution, run length, and colour control throughout the full press run. Rated
for unbaked run lengths of 500,000 impressions, the highly durable ELECTRA
XD Plate also helps printers reduce overall plate consumption and energy usage while maintaining consistency, stability, and print quality. Denis Geers expresses his satisfaction with the six-month test phase. “This plate has been
made to meet the most challenging demands of quality printers, and is capable
of perfect production in an environment where work is spread across multiple
presses simultaneously, which is the case on a regular basis for us.” This durability and stability across press types, as well as the capability to print extremely
fine screen dots, have proved the new plate to be more than a match for Geers’
portfolio, from the start of the run to the last impression.
Explaining the choice of the five-color NEXPRESS S3000 Press to complement
the press line-up, Denis Geers says: “We opted for the five-color configuration
because it would enable us to print not only process and Pantone colors, but
also to apply a coat of varnish comparable to UV varnish, online. By avoiding
the need for UV, we can varnish in a more environmentally sustainable way.” The
NEXPRESS S3000 Press offers Geers potential throughput of 100 full-colour A4
sheets per minute, with a maximum format of 34 x 51 cm.
package for digital photo albums”, adds Geers. “The beauty of it is that we can
print on the same stocks as we use on the offset presses, at weights from 60
to 300gsm. What’s more, as with our offset presses, we’re able to use conventional or stochastic screening, so we have a high degree of flexibility between
the two production processes.” Investment at Drukkerij Geers has not all been
channelled into print. Rapid growth has prompted the Geers brothers to invest
substantially in their on-site bindery facility, with a view – ultimately – to bringing
all finishing in house. Geers comments: “Finishing our own work has benefits
for turnaround, especially with digital output. Going forward, our focus will be on
optimising the bindery with additional investments and staff training.”
For Denis Geers, the key now is to consolidate the business as it is after a period of meteoric growth. “The craftsmanship of our team, combined with stateof-the-art equipment and consumables, gives us stable foundations on which to
strengthen and build our business. We’ll channel our energies now into ensuring
that our expanded business is robust for the future. That said, we can certainly
foresee short-term growth in our digital printing business, particularly with the
digital photo album applications, which chime with customer needs at the moment. On that basis, undoubtedly we are already thinking ahead, perhaps to a
second NEXPRESS Press investment.”

JDF Integration Between HIFLEX MIS and CREO Color
Servers Realized
ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 22—International MIS provider HIFLEX and Kodak’s
Print On-Demand Solutions Group announced that they have recently completed
JDF integration between HIFLEX MIS (Management Information System) and
CREO Color Servers. The seamless integration of HIFLEX MIS and CREO
Color Servers will be demonstrated live at drupa 2008 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
These live demos reveal how printers profit from practical improvements and
business benefits through JDF connectivity.
Networking the two systems allows for the automatic transfer of job information
from HIFLEX to CREO Color Servers via JDF. Upon order entry in HIFLEX MIS,
the job parameters (e.g. customer information, order number, print method simplex\duplex, number of copies, media type etc.) are automatically transferred to
the CREO Color Server. If the job file is submitted via a submission tool/store
front (web-based job submission) the integrated HIFLEX MIS receives the job
details as soon as the order is submitted by a print buyer.
In the CREO Color Server, the jobs automatically enter a queue without having
to re-key information, thus saving time and avoiding costly errors in the workflow. Once delivered to the CREO Color Server queue, the job is automatically
processed and sent directly to the digital press.
Extensive JMF support allows bi-directional communication between systems.
JMF messaging makes it possible for the CREO Color Servers to update MIS
with process-related information. HIFLEX receives transaction data such as labor/processes and materials, including the correct assignment to the order number in the MIS. All information and reporting by CREO Color Servers are done
via JDF/JMF over HTTP.
Stefan Reichhart, Managing Director of HIFLEX, says: “Reality has proven that
networked production via JDF/JMF leads to improved process control due to
292
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
more transparency and flexibility, equating to huge productivity increases and
reductions in expenses. We are excited about the successful cooperation with
Kodak’s Print On-Demand Solutions Group and the realization of the HIFLEX
-CREO Color Server link. This paves the way for huge workflow efficiencies
based on JDF automation technology as well as within digital print and production.” He continues by stating that, “Beside the fact that HIFLEX automatically
receives process feedback from the CREO Color Server, there is a further, more
important feature to point out: In the realized connectivity, HIFLEX is not only capable of triggering JDF job-creation but can also receive an order via JDF that
was placed from within a non-HIFLEX store front system. This bi-directional
flexibility offers many new possibilities in the area of networked production.”
About HIFLEX HIFLEX is an international software provider who develops sophisticated solutions especially for the Print and Media Industry.
“HIFLEX MIS” (Management Information System) precisely models and supports all business processes in printing plants and media companies and is subdivided into the business areas Office, Factory and eBusiness. “HIFLEX Print

New KODAK COLORFLOW Software Provides
Integrated Color Control throughout the Production
Environment
Kodak will launch COLORFLOW Software at drupa 2008
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Feb. 20—Integrated color control across all devices—monitors,
scanners, halftone and inkjet proofers, and digital and conventional presses—is
finally achievable using one software solution across the entire production environment: KODAK COLORFLOW Software. Kodak announced today that it will
launch the new COLORFLOW Software solution at drupa 2008.
COLORFLOW Software tackles the core issues that plague the design, production and delivery of color in the graphic arts marketplace; the ability to achieve
a reliable color match from the original electronic file all the way through the
production process to the final output on both digital and conventional presses.
COLORFLOW Software enables print professionals to reduce costs by: helping
ensure that critical color control elements—curves, profiles, and spot recipes—are
used together correctly; reducing the number of press runs for setting up color;
and reducing training needs.
294
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
“With COLORFLOW Software, users can meet the print buyers’ expectations
while eliminating the hidden costs that can reduce profitability,” said Arjen Van
Der Meulen, Director of Color, Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group. “KODAK COLORFLOW Software accomplishes this by making certain that color
control tools work together correctly and in harmony, while reducing the number
of remakes, approvals and press runs required to establish accurate color. KODAK COLORFLOW Software provides a complete, color management solution.”
COLORFLOW Software will be available both as a standalone product, as well
as an integrated solution within KODAK PRINERGY Workflow System Version
5.0, which will also be introduced at drupa.
COLORFLOW Software is ideal for all segments of the market Historically, many
individual tools and devices have been offered for color control at various stages
of the production process. COLORFLOW Software provides a truly complete
solution that can be introduced into virtually any operation, including increasingly
common blended production environments.
Once KODAK COLORFLOW Software is in place in the print production environment, many issues that affected color management in the past are resolved
automatically. COLORFLOW Software maintains and manages relationships
among the control elements and device print conditions, managing color setups
throughout the workflow and between devices to eliminate mismatched settings.
When a print condition is refined for a specific device, COLORFLOW Software
can update all the color control elements automatically, ending the breakdowns
in communication between color management tools that hampered color matching in the past.
“Not only can COLORFLOW Software simplify the setup and optimization of
color control across the entire print production workflow, but it also performs a
new level of print condition management that moves color into a new era,” said
Van Der Meulen. “COLORFLOW Software supports the continued evolution of
print as a manufacturing process.”
Fully integrated with the KODAK PRINERGY Workflow System, COLORFLOW
Software provides complete color management through automated communication, control, and tracking of complex PDF pages. COLORFLOW Software’s
one step curve and profile creation can characterize an output device using a
single print run, calibrating the output to a desired color response. In this single
print run, COLORFLOW Software can generate calibration curves, spot color
recipes, ICC profiles and comprehensive print condition reports.
COLORFLOW Software enhances the KODAK SPOTLESS Printing Solution

KODAK COLORFLOW Software Introduces Color
Relationship Management to Redefine How Users
Work with Color
Manager, Color, Enterprise Solutions, GCG.
Ink Optimizing Solution Improves Print Quality While Reducing Ink Consumption
Kodak showcases COLORFLOW Software along with its Ink Optimizing solution at drupa
KODAK COLORFLOW Software with Ink Optimizing Solution reduces ink consumption and ink costs for web and sheetfed printers while improving print quality
through greater press stability.
DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, May 29—Prepress professionals, print service
providers, designers and others involved in the print production process have
historically struggled to control and manage color, often employing a variety of
disconnected tools in an attempt to achieve the desired results. KODAK COLORFLOW Software aligns color across devices, enabling integrated color control
with the KODAK PRINERGY Workflow System.
The Ink Optimizing Solution produces ICC device link profiles that can be used
to reseparate images automatically through GCR separation techniques within
the PRINERGY Workflow. Unlike ordinary ICC profiles, device link profiles do
not describe a specific color space, but instead define the conversion from a
specific source color space to a destination color space. This way, primary and
secondary tints and solids all remain pure.
COLORFLOW Software delivers Color Relationship Management that unifies all
the color elements, such as ICC profiles, curves and spot color recipes, managing the relationship between them and the device print conditions. Tight integration with the workflow and between devices enables automatic updates when
production variables occur or a print condition is redefined. Color control can
be automated through the PRINERGY System’s job process templates, a process that can be further enhanced by the sophistication of database rules based
automation.
“The effect of using a GCR separation process is to reduce CMY ink consumption
while introducing black ink, resulting in more stable color, while also reducing
makeready times and enabling higher print speeds and improved repeatability
from job to job,” noted Nordeen. Users can specify the total area coverage,
black onset value, and GCR level to optimize the device link for the target print
condition.
COLORFLOW Software will be fully integrated with KODAK PRINERGY Workflow System Version 5 and enables efficient setup of complex color workflows
with an intuitive user interface that leads users through the necessary steps to
ensure accurate color production. COLORFLOW Software supports open standards and has been designed to simplify the tasks of busy prepress professionals.
“Kodak offers a solution that is simple to use and delivers high quality, consistent color for all applications,” said Arjen Van Der Meulen, Director of Color,
Enterprise Solutions, Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group (GCG). “With our
experience in color science and our unique technology, we are able to bring all
the elements together to address the color challenges that exist in a majority of
today’s production environments.”
Able to accurately manage color on everything from displays and proofers to
platesetters and presses, COLORFLOW Software takes the guesswork out of
color. Users can be confident that the color specified at the beginning of the
job is the color that will appear on the final product. COLORFLOW Software
enables users to capitalize on one integrated solution that is part of a complete
workflow, without having to pull the pieces together themselves. “Color relationship management enables the process to be automated, thereby reducing
human intervention and the risk of error,” explained Charles Nordeen, Product

their lives.
For the posters printed digitally, products used in the process include KODAK
NEXPRESS V Front End, KODAK NEXPRESS S3000 and S2500 Digital Production Color Presses with Fifth Imaging Unit, KODAK NEXPRESS M700 Digital
Color Press, and a KODAK DIGIMASTER EX150 Digital Production System, as
well as the KODAK NEXPRESS Glossing Unit to produce the high gloss surface.
“The illustration course is very interesting to us because these students are using
their creativity and applying it to commercial applications,” noted Jon Bracken,
Vice President, Marketing and Channels, Enterprise Solutions, GCG. “The quality of work is truly spectacular, and we are proud to be able to support the course
and the students in this way. This collaborative effort sends a clear message
that creativity combined with Offset Class Imaging yields outstanding results.
Print is powerful.”
The Illustration Degree program at Sheridan is organized around the concept
that commercial illustration typically supports words or a product or service and
is used in a wide range of media—from print, books, posters, packaging and signage to graphic images on television, and most recently Web pages and multimedia. This program helps students build a strong portfolio of work and prepare
for a career in the field.
Donna Braggins, a Professor for Sheridan College Institute of Technology and
Advanced Learning and a nationally recognized art director and design leader,
said, “Our graduate illustration curriculum gives students the foundation they
need to make their own impact on the visual communications industry. With the
support of key industry suppliers such as Kodak, we are able to enhance the
educational experience and expose our students to the latest technologies in
the field.”

Kodak Previews New Capabilities of KODAK
TRACELESS System for Anticounterfeiting at drupa
2008
DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, June 6—Kodak is previewing enhanced capabilities of its KODAK TRACELESS System for Anticounterfeiting at drupa 2008.
Kodak will offer technology demonstrations of several new Security Solutions capabilities, including thermal transfer ribbon, optically variable ink and the ability
to deliver the TRACELESS System on KODAK NEXPRESS Digital Production
Color Presses.
The TRACELESS System can be easily integrated into existing production processes, allowing virtually any industry to use the sophisticated solution to protect
its products. Kodak already implemented its solutions in the pharmaceutical,
consumer electronics, wine, apparel, cosmetic, fragrance and other markets.
New applications demonstrated at drupa will make it even easier for print service providers to offer TRACELESS System protection.
The NEXPRESS Digital Production Color Presses will be able to apply anticounterfeiting measures using the KODAK NEXPRESS Fifth Imaging Unit Solution.
This easy to implement method has no effects on the characteristics of the end
322
www.drupa.de

product, providing printers with maximum flexibility for delivering an effective
anticounterfeiting measure for their customers. Kodak is actively seeking pilot
customers for secure printing with NEXPRESS Presses. “Kodak is leveraging
its expertise in material science and digital imaging to enable printers, brand
owners and organizations to be proactive against counterfeiting,” said Steven
Powell, General Manager, Security Solutions, Kodak’s Graphic Communications
Group. “For brand owners, the print process is a critical role in developing a
brand protection strategy, and with the TRACELESS System, printers are well
positioned to deliver a tough measure against counterfeiting.”
Optically variable inks (OVI), such as those used on major banknotes, are another printed security device commonly used to provide a visible anticounterfeiting solution in which ink color changes as the viewing angle is varied. OVI is
a powerful countermeasure, and when used in conjunction with the ultra covert
TRACELESS System, provides a thorough brand protection strategy that offers both authentication and copy prevention. During drupa, Kodak is displaying
printed samples of OVI that are currently in development and can easily be combined with TRACELESS System markers.
Thermal transfer ribbon, commonly used in the 6 million thermal transfer printers
around the world, is a common method for printing barcode labels for products,
such as electronic devices and pharmaceutical packaging. Kodak demonstrates
how its TRACELESS System allows manufacturers to print authenticated barcode labels that can be used to both authenticate and track items targeted by
counterfeiters.

to installation of the automatic system Today the system holds a central place in
our production and we can’t imagine to work without the automatic line anymore.
REPORT : AUTOMATIC LINE IN SOUTH AMERICA
Approximately 18 months after commissioning the automatic line for gravure
cylinder production, that was designed according to specific requirements of
Rotograv Industria Comercio & Serviços, Brazil (see article Flexo-Print 2-2006),
the customer sends us his field report.
The modular system, which includes one ECOPLATER Degrease, two ECOPLATER
Copper, one ECOPOLISHER Copper, one ECOPLATER Chrome, one ECOPOLISHER Chrome and one cylinder handling system ECOTRANS, may be easily
upgraded with further galvano and surface treatment systems including engraving machines, for example the DIGRA AUTEC 1600 from AABACH Graphic
Systems (Germany) that is specially designed for the use in automatic cylinder
production lines.
The automatic line has been delivered and assembled in spring 2006 in Brazil.
After the test run had been successfully completed, we were able to fully utilize
the system. The compact design enabled us to keep the production flexible and
we operated with the same numbers of employees even during peak periods.
There is one employee placed at the automatic line per shift, working with threeshift-periods. He is responsible for programming, loading and unloading the
cylinders. The automatic line shows a capacity per day of 64 copper cylinders
and 57 chrome cylinders. Regardless of size and number of cylinders, it is possible to keep the production flexible. The extensibility and high capacity improves
the cylinder flow considerably as well. Due to all this possibilities, the quality is
increased and we keep it on a constant high level.
Thanks to an easy handling through the host, it is possible to train employees on
the system in a short time. The cylinder handling system ECOTRANS measures
the cylinder in length and width. This controlling function ensures that the correct
cylinder data are imported to the system. After that, one feeds the system with
the layer thickness and the desired process. Now, the automatic line takes over
and completes the manufacturing process. Through the simple structure of each
machine and the automatic line in total, it is possible to maintain the system
through our own employees. This has been one of the crucial points for us in
order to keep a high degree of independence. Due to the fact that this is an
open system, it is easy to be supported through ECOGRAPH AG quickly and
professionally by using the internet.

NEWS : Project in Korea
In its 15 years of existence the company ECOGRAPH AG has developed a
well known name as manufacturer and supplier of high quality machinery, tools
and accessories for gravure cylinder preparation. Now the Swiss manufacturer
can record a further project in its portfolio.
A new customer from Korea has evaluated the product range of ECOGRAPH
AG and ordered a total automatic gravure cylinder preparation line, consisting
of ten single automatic machines and two handling systems. The whole system
is able to produce 120 cylinders/day and stands out due to the easy handling
through the host. Through the use of predominantly internationally standardized
components, only low maintenance costs arise for customers, allowing a highly
indipendence from ECOGRAPH AG. The open system makes a maintenance
through the internet possible and allows ECOGRAPH AG to provide an immediate support at all times. This was one of the crucial reasons that had lead to
the purchase of the ECOGRAPH equipment.
It is planed to deliver the whole system this summer. In this context ECOGRAPH
AG invites to an Open House event in Switzerland, which is scheduled between
the exhibitions Interpack and Drupa 08. Detailed information will follow later on.
ECOGRAPH AG consistently pursues its corporate philosophy: simple, reliable
and of highest quality. This attitude, coupled with the ambition to find individual
solutions for the customers, proves ECOGRAPH AG through this order, the first
investment of this kind in Korea, to be right once more.

but the DPX 4 Eco at Drupa 2008. The DPX 4 Eco, a polyester platesetter,
has a patented self-contained processing unit that produces press-ready plates
in a very small footprint. This proven technology eliminates multi-bath chemistry processing. Though eco-friendly, the new poly-platesetter is also fully automated and capable of outputting 27 processed, dried and cut-to-size, readyto-use plates per hour at 2540 dpi. ECRM is exhibiting the DPX 4 Eco in Hall 9,
Stand C56 at Drupa 2008 (May 29th to June 11th in Dusseldorf, Germany). For
more information about ECRM and their offerings, go to www.ecrm.com.
About DPX 4 Eco The new DPX 4 Eco uses a field-tested and proven “green”
technology. Instead of the plate entering a multi-bath processor, the chemistry
is coated directly onto the plate in a thin layer. This results in extremely stable
plate development and translates into a superior printed product. And with its
dual magazine and built-in register punches, users can optimize their platesetter by outputting plates for two different presses, uninterrupted and without any
operator intervention.
An integrated register punch system, for both 220mm and 425mm distances, ensures a perfect fit on press and endless time-savings from press adjustments.
The DPX 4 Eco can be connected to any common front-end workflow, and automatic and dynamic adjustment of the spot size results in professional, highquality plates. And the DPX 4 Eco does not require a water supply or drainage,
making the system office or pressroom-compatible.

ECRM RIPMATE MODULE UPGRADED TO VERSION
8.0 FOR HARLEQUIN PLUS SERVER RIP USERS
News Highlights Ø RIPMates makes driving any ECRM imaging device fast
and simple, through an easy-to-use user interface; Ø RIPMates is an integral
part of a 5-module PDF workflow management system called WorkMates; Ø
At DRUPA, ECRM will introduce WorkMates 3.0, an entry-level digital prepress
workflow solution, offering an entirely new GUI (allowing customers to view all
or only selected workflows) and compatible with Harlequin RIP 8.0.
TEWKSBURY, MASS – April 10, 2008 – In line with ECRM’s mission to provide the highest value at the lowest possible cost, ECRM today announced the
release of RIPMate v8.0. More than just a PostScript® language interpreter,
RIPMates is an integral part of a complete PDF Workflow Management System
called WorkMates. RIPMate also provides full production flexibility by accepting
the widest variety of file formats including PostScript Level III, EPS, TIFF and
PDF.
The RIPMate v8.0 Enhancements include: Ø PDFRaster output of variable page
sizes; Ø Support for PDF 1.7 compliance; Ø Support for PDF /X-4 compliance;
Ø Multi-threaded rendering for better performance; Ø Support for MS XPS 1.0;
Ø And support for Macintosh OSX 10.5 and Vista operating systems.
ECRM Quotes “Regardless of the size of the commercial printer, the extensive features and benefits in v8.0 are designed to improve the quality and performance of the print processes,” stated Michael Mierjeski, Software Business
Manager, ECRM. “RIPMate accepts and processes all the latest PDF file versions and MS XPS formats. Whether or not the file contains a color space or
transparency makes no difference because RIPMate supports all the latest technologies.”
RIPMates: One of Five Standard Components of WorkMates
WorkMates is made up of five standard components, allowing a printer to quickly
and easily create PDF files, impose, RIP, proof, and manage their print jobs.
Users benefit from a high degree of automation, thereby reducing prepress,
make-ready, and production time. Based upon a robust and versatile Harlequin
RIP core, RIPMate allows users to perform most tasks in-RIP, saving time and
money by eliminating manual work. By delivering a wide range of plug-ins and
applications, RIPMate becomes a future-proof investment, enabling users to expand or change their business direction.
335
WorkMates 3.0 to be Exhibited at DRUPA DRUPA will be where ECRM officially launches the next release of their commercial PDF workflow, WorkMates
v3.0. WorkMates 3.0 sports an entirely new Graphic User Interface. This allows
users to either view all or selected workflows. Users can choose to drop jobs into
automatic flows for complete automation, or manual flows to create custom impositions to selected output devices. WorkMates 3.0 is a client server package
offering users both Macintosh and PC clients with unlimited client connections.
In addition, WorkMates 3.0 includes the latest Harlequin RIP release version 8.0
which offers PDFRaster output and increased performance from multi-threaded
CPUs.
Availability Existing users of previous RIPMate versions may upgrade to the latest v8.0 technology with a phone call to the ECRM Technical Support Center
(800-537-ECRM x2610). For more information about WorkMates or ECRM, go

ECRM TO INTRODUCE WORKMATES 3.0 AT DRUPA;
SIX OPTIONAL NEW TOOLS ADDED TO ENTRY-LEVEL
WORKFLOW SOLUTION
DUSSELDORF, GERMANY – May 14, 2008 – ECRM today announced the
launch of WorkMates™ 3.0, an entry-level workflow solution that has been expanded with six new optional production tools. The six new tools include TrapMate, CIPMate, ScreenMate, ProofMate, ColorMate, and ICCMate. Added to
the original four WorkMates production tools, users can now choose from 10
different options to accelerate and automate tasks. ECRM will be exhibiting
WorkMates 3.0 at Drupa 2008 (May 29th to June 11th in Dusseldorf, Germany)
in Hall 9, Stand C56. For more information about ECRM, go to www.ecrm.com.
ECRM Quote “WorkMates is specifically engineered to help small to mid-sized
commercial printers to simplify and automate standard production tasks,” notes
ECRM Software Manager Mike Mierjeski. “There isn’t a more affordable work-
336
www.drupa.de

flow solution to address these basic prepress needs. What customers like is that
WorkMates is scalable. If a printer decides that they want stochastic screening
or color critical ICC matched proofs, all they need to do is add a plug-in module.
WorkMates simplifies digital prepress workflow issues and increases efficiency
through significantly reduced prepress, make-ready and production times.”
New Optional WorkMates Tools Ø TrapMate: TrapMate uses object-based/vectorbased rules to determine where traps are applied. This in-RIP trapping has full
n-color support – both CMYK and spot colors and shaded fill support, and easily accommodates special inks. Trap sets are created in RIPMate’s TrapPro
Management dialog where specified parameters are configured and saved in
the RIP for reuse. The Highlight Trap feature allows for soft proof preview of
trap placement, eliminating surprises on press. Ø CIPMate: One of the greatest timesaving features for offset printing is automatic ink control on press. To
be highly productive and competitive, this ability is a must. By adding CIPMate
to RIPMate, the printer saves make-ready time and ink. PDF files are created
at the same time the plate is produced, eliminating the need to print the file
twice. Simple set-up is handled through the Device Dialog. Ø ScreenMate: The
ability to supply printed jobs with FM screening gives print providers a strong
competitive advantage. ScreenMate is based on Harlequin® HDS screening,
offering increased sharpness over conventional screening methods. Additionally, HDS has corrected many of the deficiencies in other stochastic screening
techniques to provide a robust and high quality screening solution for a wide
variety of printing applications. Ø ProofMate: Epson, HP, Canon and Encad:
ProofMate supports a wide variety of proofing options, including the most popular ink-jet proofers from Epson and HP. Adding the ProofMate module to WorkMates closes color proofing loops, as using the same RIP for proofing and making plates ensures data integrity. ProofMate includes Harlequin Error Diffusion
Screening designed specifically for inkjet devices, thus avoiding image artifacts
in color proofs. ProofMate also comes with preset ICC color profiles, including calibration sets and full color profiles optimized for a variety of ink/media/
resolution combinations, providing an excellent “out-of-the-box” color proofing
tool Ø ColorMate: ColorMate provides tools for color process control, delivering accurate, consistent and predictable color reproduction, and full support for
industry-standard ICC profiles (including device ink profiles). By using in-RIP
Color Management, decisions about color and output devices can be targeted
(or re-targeted) to a particular printing process or proofer at the last moment
without requiring any changes in the job itself. Ø ICCMate: ICCMate (SetGoldPro) is a wizard-based color utility tool that creates high quality gray balance
or “Golden State” input, emulation, and output profiles optimized for RIPMate
to satisfy today’s color-accurate proofing requirements. Color-accurate proofing
is only possible if devices can be calibrated and profiles can be optimized for
a given ink, substrate, screening and resolution combination. ICCMate draws
337
from the latest Graphic Arts Community research to deliver solutions for color
profile making, resulting in greater color accuracy.

www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
to promote graphic arts professionals to conserve energy and be more aware of
ecological benefits (announced in early February), ECRM today announced their
line-up of CTP and workflow enhancements that will be showcased in their Drupa
2008 exhibit (May 29th to June 11th in Dusseldorf, Germany). Exhibiting in Hall
9, Stand C56, ECRM will showcase four new platesetter offerings enhanced with
the aim towards developing more eco-friendly CTP prepress workflows. ECRM
will be providing a technology demonstration of the new chemistry-free digital
plate for violet platesetters from Agfa. The Azura V will be imaged and then run
through a clean-out unit live in the ECRM stand. For more information about
ECRM and their offerings, go to www.ecrm.com.
ECRM Quotes “The adoption of green technology is a function of both social and
fiscal responsibility. Though we all strive for a cleaner environment, businesses
must also protect the financial health of their operations,” notes Doug Barr, Vice
President, Western Hemisphere Sales, ECRM. “Offerings that accomplish both
are desirable. The future is chem-free violet CTP. Manufacturers, such as Agfa
and Fuji, are already showing plates and are prepared for a 2008 launch, and
we suspect there will be others.”
CPUs.
Enhanced 120 Milliwatt Laser Diode Platesetters * MAKO 2x: Ideal for a first
transition to CTP, the MAKO 2x system delivers high quality, 2-page platesetting
at the price of an imagesetter. Offering a full resolution range of 1200 – 3556
dpi, it is one of the fastest 2-page CTP units in its class, imaging over 27 GTO
plates per hour at 2400 dpi.
* MAKO 4x: The MAKO 4x has been one of the first Violet CTP devices in
the world to offer commercial printers a clear path to chemistry-free technology.
Representing ECRM’s highest quality imaging output with resolution sets from
1200 – 3556 dpi, the MAKO 4x is one of the fastest 4-page CTP units in its class,
imaging over 19 Speedmaster 74 plates per hour at 2400 dpi.
* MAKO 8x: Designed for commercial printers, the MAKO 8x is engineered
specifically to improve the efficiency of multi-press environments through its fast,
flexible and trouble-free operation. And, suitable for all formats covering 2, 4,
6 and 8 –page signatures it offers resolutions from 1800dpi to 3556dpi. And,
MAKO 8x images up to 18 8-page plates per hour at 2400 dpi.
“We previously released a statement supporting the benefits and our support of
chemistry-free plates in April 2006,” adds Derek Sizer, Vice President, Eastern
Hemisphere Business. “Since then ECRM has anxiously awaited the release
of viable plate products. We are very proud to be chosen by Agfa to provide
customers with a technology demo of the new Azura V plate. Customers will
be able to see the Agfa Azura V plate being imaged and then pass through a
clean-out unit live in our stand. With this advance in violet plate technology,
very soon customers will be getting all the advantages of chem-free technology
without having to sacrifice throughput speed.”
ECRM Platesetters Conserve Energy and Costs For years, ECRM has engineered their violet CTP platesetters to be both economical and energy-efficient.
For example, the MAKO CTP platesetters are designed to draw as little energy
as it takes to light three 100-watt light bulbs. For some commercial customers,
the cost saving in using an ECRM platesetter (versus an industry competitor)
can add up to as much as $1000+ dollars per year. In an internal research
study comparing various CTP offerings (based on product rating label, using
lowest rated voltage and rated current), the MAKO platesetters were as much
as 19 times more energy-efficient than some popular thermal CTP solutions.
“We’re also making strides in polyester CTP to minimize use and therefore waste
of chemicals,” said Torben Rysgaard, Vice President, Polyester CTP Division.
“With the introduction of the DPX 4 Eco, printers can benefit from savings incurred from less chemical use in the development of polyester plates, and the
additional saving of costs associated with diminished waste. The reduction in
waste carries the additional ecological benefits.”
WorkMates 3.0 to be Exhibited Drupa will also be where ECRM officially
launches the next release of their commercial PDF workflow, WorkMates v3.0.

ECRM Quotes “For many printers, the advent of chem-free plate technology is a
breakthrough which will enable them to enhance the ecological and economical
benefits of violet CTP,” notes Derek Sizer, Vice President, Eastern Hemisphere
Business. “The new plates require a reliable and cost-effective platesetter with
the laser strength to image them. With the dominant acceptance and use of
violet CTP technology, customers will now benefit from the many advantages
and cost-savings of chem-free technology without having to sacrifice throughput
speed.”
Enhanced 120 Milliwatt Laser Diode MAKO Platesetters ECRM is introducing
three new platesetters that have been upgraded with the new and more powerful 120 milliwatt laser diode. Utilizing the new 120 mw violet laser technology,
printers can make a smooth transition to current and future violet chemistry-free
plate technology:
Ø MAKO 4x: The MAKO 4x utilizes ECRM’s latest technological breakthroughs,
including next-generation patented optical technology that, with ECRM e-circuitry,
delivers high quality imaging. The MAKO 4x also employs an auto-pinch/autoimage feature for true hands-free operation after initial plate positioning. Combining reliable MAKO 4 design with ECRM’s patented optical system, the MAKO
4x features an expanded format capability. The MAKO 4x can image formats
from 228 mm x 252 mm (8.9” x 9.9”) up to 660 mm x 960 mm (26.0” x 37.8”),
offering resolution sets from 1200-3556 dpi and imaging over 20 Speedmaster
74 plates per hour at 2400 dpi;
Ø MAKO 8x: Breaking the price barrier for 8-page CTP, the MAKO 8x makes
8-page CTP affordable for all commercial printers. It covers all formats for 2,
4, 6 and 8-page signatures with resolutions from 1800 dpi to 3556 dpi, with the
lowest operating cost in the industry. With a maximum format of 32.4” x 45.0”
(824mm x 1143mm) and production speeds up to 20 Speedmaster 102 plates
per hour, the MAKO 8x keeps multi-press environments efficient through flexible,
fast and trouble-free performance.

EFI and Pantone Broaden Strategic Relationship,
Customers Benefit from the Most Accurate Color
Possible
drupa – Düsseldorf, Germany – May 30, 2008 – EFI, the world leader in
customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced the newest elements in the company’s strong relationship with Pantone, Inc. to provide customers with greater accuracy and consistency in communicating color. Unique
in the industry, the EFI Fiery® platform provides combined RIP (raster image
processing) and digital output device calibration, which ensures customers that
their entire printing system is PANTONE® Goe™ System calibrated. This calibration delivers the most accurate color possible, tailored to specific printer devices and their media. EFI is among the first vendors to support PANTONE
Goe System’s new uncoated components launched by Pantone at drupa (Dusseldorf, Germany, May 29 through June 11). This support extends across
the EFI® Advanced Workstream Solutions portfolio and is in addition to the
company’s already comprehensive support of PANTONE Goe and PANTONE
MATCHING SYSTEM® Libraries. EFI and Pantone have also partnered to
make the PANTONE Goe library available to customers for free via download at
http://www.efi.com/dm/pantone_goe/.
At drupa EFI will highlight PANTONE-enabled features for high-end processcolor matching of spot-color printing in its Professional Color Capability workflow
demonstration. The company will also feature integration of the new PANTONE
Goe Color Library part of the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM., EFI will demonstrate the ability to custom tune any out of gamut Pantone color through SpotOn, an intuitive easy to use spot color editing tool, as well as the ability to print
PANTONE Reference Charts from Fiery-driven digital output devices. This 19page downloadable PostScript file of color patches shows CMYK equivalents for
each installed PANTONE Library, indicating what the final output color will look
like from the Fiery-driven printer.
“With the Fiery platform, EFI was one of the first to implement PANTONE Calibration for digital color devices, and our collaborative partnership has been de-
360
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
livering tremendous benefits to color-conscious customers ever since. EFI now
implements the highest levels of PANTONE support across their product line,”
said Andy Hatkoff, vice president of Advanced Color Technology at Pantone,
Inc., the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards
for the design industries. “Today’s announcement further supports our shared
goal of providing technology that heightens color creativity and impacts the success of print service providers.”
Print service providers are able to get the most out of their digital print production engine when their engine is driven by the next-generation EFI Fiery platform.
Renowned for its intuitive user experience, the new Fiery platform features: a
powerful, unique Visual Workflow that optimizes productivity by providing job
progress at-a-glance; built in ”how-to” guides to address a wide range of operator
expertise; and the most open, powerful VDP workflow capability, including support of VDP languages Fiery FreeForm™, industry standard PPML, and a host of
legacy proprietary languages, and collaborations with the leading VDP software
vendors. With Fiery® Spot On, users can create accurate color matching for logo
colors and other spot colors in an automatic, application-independent workflow.
This feature allows the management of named colors on the Fiery, including all
PANTONE names in PostScript or PDF documents. Spot On Color Search provides an intuitive graphical user interface for creating and editing named colors
directly.
”Our collaboration with Pantone helps our customers print to win, taking color
matching to a new level,” said Judy Lin, general manager, Fiery Division, EFI.
“With Fiery PANTONE Goe System calibration PANTONE Libraries are directly
integrated into the Fiery workflow, and operators can readily print the full color
swatch libraries from the Fiery-driven output device. Print service providers are
able to show their customers actual Fiery-printed-Pantone-calibrated swatches
- providing accurate color representation from the actual device that will print the
job.”
The Fiery platform comes with PANTONE color libraries built-in, including the
new Goe system, achieving optimal output whenever a document containing a
PANTONE color is printed. RGB, CMYK and PANTONE color charts can be
printed directly from the Fiery, helping users to understand the color capabilities
of the printer during the design phase.
EFI provides a direct path to Pantone libraries from several EFI® Advanced
Workstream Solutions, an extensive portfolio of world-class products, services
and support that drive EFI customers’ success: the Fiery color digital print server
platform; Fiery Central, a powerful, modular, PDF-based production workflow
solution; EFI Splash RPX-iii Mac OS X-based workflow solution; MicroPress
raster-based color and black and white workflow solution; and Bestcolor®-driven
proofing and production solutions Colorproof™ XF and Fiery XF. EFI’s Pantone
361
support provides increased accuracy and flexibility across a wide range of print
media - for customers in creative and printing environments producing color documents.
Print service providers and graphic arts professionals deploying Pantone-calibrated
EFI solutions are more efficient and accurate as they save time by eliminating
manual input of color definitions, which also reduces inaccuracies in the final
output. The PANTONE Goe System features more than 2,000 new PANTONE
Colors, and includes tools and interactive software to improve versatility in an
increasingly global, multimedia environment. New PANTONE Goe system uncoated components announced today include: a PANTONE GoeGuide™ uncoated, a color selection and specification guide printed on an uncoated paper;
PANTONE GoeSticks™ uncoated, a book of adhesive-backed chips printed on
an uncoated paper; and myPANTONE palettes software, interactive software for
color selection and palette building.
By incorporating the PANTONE Color definitions into EFI Colorproof XF and
Fiery XF, customers can simply process print jobs including PANTONE Color
separations and automatically produce a color-accurate output of the complete
print job. Colorproof XF transforms inkjet and laser printers into powerful proofing and production systems and is renowned for providing customers with outstanding performance, color quality, flexibility and a highly intuitive interface.
The XF Server on Mac OS X makes the system a complete cross-platform solution. With its client/server architecture and modular concept, Colorproof XF
offers an unprecedented level of customization to fit print service provider’s individual needs. Fiery XF provides leading-edge technology for superwide format
printing for production and proofing requirements, delivering high-speed processing, exceptional color quality and increased productivity.

EFI’s™ VUTEk® to Preview Digital Screen Printer at
drupa 2008
DS Series delivers screen printing speeds with short digital set-up times that
will revolutionize the screen printing industry
drupa – Düsseldorf, Germany – EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in
customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced that it will be previewing the VUTEk DS Series digital screen printer at drupa 2008, May 29th
through June 11th in Düsseldorf, Germany. EFI can be found in Hall 5, Stand
C01 at the show. This high speed, flatbed UV printer provides a digital solution for the production of POP-quality graphics at breakthrough speed with the
advantages of UV technology and digital economics.
371
The DS Series is a new category of high speed digital flatbed printers representing a tipping point in productivity, image quality and flexibility. It signifies a
call to action for both analog screen printers and leading edge digital printers in
terms of new economics and capabilities now available with digital print. The
innovative DS Series design and architecture enables the cost-effective production of higher volume jobs than ever before possible using a digital press. The
incredible speed and resolution made possible by the DS Series’ innovative high
density print array sets this VUTEk printer apart from all other competitive offerings available in the market today.
Breakthrough Speed VUTEk’s super high-speed digital flatbed DS Series produces sellable output at up to 557 square meters (6,000 square feet) per hour
and uses a unique high productivity UV curing system, newly engineered from
the ground up, to provide full curing at the fastest speeds.
The unique VUTEk user controllable zoned vacuum table is optimized for European and North American standard single sheet graphic printing and also supports the simultaneous printing of multiple various sized substrates. With the
addition of an optional advanced material handling system, automatic loading
and unloading of substrates delivers productivity improvements of up to 100%.
“This groundbreaking product will print up to 557 square meters per hour—representing
a new productivity frontier in the superwide format market,” said Chuck Dourlet,
vice president of marketing, EFI VUTEk. “With its eight ink channels, up to 1200
dpi quality and fast make-ready times, the DS Series is the first digital UV superwide format flatbed printer capable of cost-effectively producing high volume
runs extending the digital crossover point with traditional screen print by a factor
of 4 to 5 times. We expect the DS Series to be attractive to large screen printers
and digital print providers everywhere who are looking for a way to step up to
the next level of production and efficiency.”
Digital Economics Digital printing not only reduces prepress time and complexity but also removes costly and time-consuming screen manufacturing, screen
removal and reclamation. This quick turnaround makes it possible to go straight
to high volume production for same day, order-to-delivery capability. With digital
printing, jobs can easily be customized or regionalized and last-minute changes
can be efficiently accommodated. Because every image off the press can be
different, samples and one-offs can be produced with the same cost dynamics
as high volume work. In addition, the use of digital technology greatly reduces
required inventory levels associated with consumables such as ink, screens and
films.
UV Advantage The DS Series captures all of the advantages of UV technology,
including superior UV quality, print resolutions up to 1200 dpi, and up to 8 colors
for clear, stunning images. Additionally, an extended application range of UV
372

ink and compatibility with key industry substrates enables printing on paper, film,
rigid boards and a variety of other specialty materials.
innovation within the superwide format market.”
Unlike analog screen printing, digital printing requires no chemicals for screen
recovery. In addition, the fully contained ink delivery and auto printhead maintenance systems in the DS Series results in a safer working environment by
eliminating the unnecessary handling of UV inks.
The DS Series accommodates a wide range of rigid and cut-sheet materials with
a maximum media size of 1.6 meters by 2.4 meters (63 inches by 96 inches),
up to 5.08 cm (two inches) thick. A large ink reservoir and optional automated
media handling for both input and output enable near-lights-out operation for up
to eight hours.
The DS Series is designed with a fixed array of printheads and a bed that moves
back and forth, enabling much faster speeds than existing technology that utilizes moving printheads. The system can print in four- or eight-color mode and
initial ink sets will include CMYK, as well as Light Cyan, Light Magenta, Light
Yellow and Light Black. EFI is planning to expand the range of available inks in
the future to include White and Clear.
Other advantages of the DS Series, which is expected to be available in 2009,
include: • An optional advanced material handling system capable of loading
and unloading a pallet of rigid media material. Rolling carts make it fast and
easy to stage new input media and accommodate additional output product. •
Printer and inks that are optimized for use with a wide range of rigid and cut
sheet materials including key industry substrates. • Reduced prepress and setup times when compared to screen printing. While conventional screen printing
set-ups could take up to a day including prepress, burning screens and setting
up the screen press, with the DS Series, the file is simply sent to the RIP, media is loaded, and printing can begin. • Support for both stochastic and rosette
screening. • Accurate front-to-back registration. • Zoned vacuum table that reduces the amount of masking required for unused vacuum areas. • Elimination of
acids and other hazardous materials used in the screen printing process during
screen cleaning and other operations. • Continuous ink supply with a secondary
ink reservoir resulting in the ability to operate continuously for an entire 8-hour
shift.
“With the preview of the DS Series, VUTEk has defined a new category of superwide format printers that complements and extends today’s VUTEk systems
for the production of large rigid and flexible applications such as POP graphics,
billboards and building wraps. The DS Series is ideal for the vast majority of high
volume, quick turnaround screen print applications, POP or indoor and outdoor
display graphics,” added Dourlet. “This announcement further demonstrates
EFI VUTEk’s ongoing commitment to UV product leadership and its unmatched

Leading UK Commercial Printer, PCP, Going Live with
First Fully Integrated EFI Management Information
System in Europe
PCP on Track to Achieving Lean Manufacturing Goal by Early 2009
customer-focused digital printing innovation, announces that Precision Colour
Printing (PCP Ltd), one of the UK’s top print service providers, will go live week
commencing 22nd June with EFI’s dynamic scheduling tool, PrintFlow®. In doing so, PCP will add PrintFlow to its existing management information system
(MIS), comprising EFI Hagen™ MIS, Prograph® production planning and EFI
Auto-Count™ shop floor data collection, to become the first printer in Europe to
roll out a fully integrated EFI MIS. Founded in 1980, PCP is one of the leading
magazine printing companies in the UK, and is part of The Claverley Group, the
proprietors of the Express & Star and the Shropshire Star newspapers.
With PrintFlow’s real-time calculations, enterprise-wide scope and unique whatif capabilities, PCP hopes to realise savings by optimising the interaction of all
the activities in its Telford-based plant. An intelligent, rules-based scheduling
374
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
system, PrintFlow will manage PCP’s production not as islands of automation
but as a complete operation, and will provide real-time reporting to better identify
areas of inefficiency and downtime.
Alex Evans, managing director of PCP, comments: “We’re delighted to be going
live next month with PrintFlow, the last piece of our EFI MIS, which we hope
will drive a new phase in the continued development of PCP as a premier print
service provider in the UK. While the physical installation of PrintFlow has gone
as smoothly as planned, the cultural change required by us in the transition to
a comprehensive MIS has been slightly more protracted than originally anticipated. Once we get through this transition, I’m confident that our EFI MIS will
provide PCP’s executive team with daily reports of accurate real-time data of
what the plant has produced and will highlight areas for improvement.”
The Hagen, Prograph and Auto-Count segments of PCP’s MIS were installed
over three months and have been running since October last year. Evans admits
that he was at first concerned about what level of support EFI would provide, but
says that his concern then turned to satisfaction: “We were initially concerned
that, as Europe is a rather newer market for EFI, the level of support they were
going to provide us might not be up to the level of that received by one of their
US customers. In reality, though, we need not have worried as the support we’ve
received from EFI has been excellent. EFI worked closely with us to overcome
the issues that were bound to arise in such a major transition and have been
very proactive in their support of us, both from a European and US perspective.”
The Prograph system reflects the manufacturing capabilities of individual printing
plants and responds to the product definition and the client’s production needs
by mapping products to equipment and resources. When integrated with Hagen,
it provides a market leading MIS package with a level of production planning that
no other solution on the market can match. Hagen Prograph also features estimating, inventory management and accurate, detailed invoicing and is particularly adept at handling customers’ complex versioning requirements. Together
with PrintFlow, Prograph opens the door to new capabilities, savings and efficiencies that are not possible in traditional MIS systems.
Evans continues: “Before the MIS was installed, we had plenty of information
to help us run the company, but the process was very intensive insofar as it
required a lot of manual intervention - we had to send people out to track down
and compile the information for us. We anticipate that the new EFI system will
automatically deliver data on press utilisation and downtime and on wastage
factors, such as make ready and running waste, and will give us a far quicker
and more accurate view of what the plant is producing on a daily or weekly basis.
We can then drive the system to scrutinise aspects of the business such as
overheads, stock usage, stock turnaround and the utilisation of staff resources
to identify where changes that will positively impact the organisation need to be
375
made.”
Marc Olin, senior vice president/general manager, EFI Advanced Professional
Print Software (APPS), says, “Although we are the dominant provider of fully integrated MIS solutions to the printing market in the US, to date we have not enjoyed the same success in Europe. However, in PCP we now have our first completely integrated European success to go along with a number of standalone
MIS deployments we have in the UK, France, Poland, Slovenia and Germany,
and the first of what we hope will be many more complete MIS installations in
Europe. As PCP have acknowledged themselves, we have worked closely with
them to ensure as pain-free a transition as possible towards achieving the multiple and significant benefits of a fully integrated MIS and I believe that this is a
shining example of how EFI really is helping our customers to print to win.”
PCP still sees lean manufacturing as crucial to the long-term growth of the company and EFI’s integrated MIS as crucial to facilitating the lean manufacturing
process, as Evans explains: “There’s no doubt that for any printing organisation
to move ahead and remain financially viable for the long–term, a fully integrated
MIS is needed to drive a lean manufacturing business model. We’re convinced
that that is the right approach and that our decision, as an executive team, to go
with EFI last year has not only proven to date to be the right one, but that, certainly by this time next year, the benefits of the system will also have confirmed
that we made the right choice in working with EFI.”

add tremendous value to their service, with personalized, one-to-one marketing campaigns,” added Kathy Wilson, senior director of product marketing and
strategy, EFI. “Their customers realize the increased response rates of these
engaging campaigns and are willing to pay a premium for that impact. We’re
constantly advancing our VDP offering to help our customers take advantage of
this value-added capability that improves their competitiveness and profitability.”
In a recent study, industry research firm InfoTrends predicted 24.8 percent
CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) for the Print on Demand Variable Data
Market through 2010. PPML is an open, interoperable, device-independent XML
(extensible markup language)-based standard that enables the widespread use
of personalized print applications in high volumes. The new certification provides
a means for PPML “producers” to confirm that output from their products is compatible with PPML “consumer” devices, such as the EFI Fiery platform. Certification boosts PPML effectiveness by ensuring VDP workflow interoperability. This
certification follows EFI’s having achieved 100 percent success across PODi’s
379
PPML test suite, published last year.
“For PPML to work smoothly, producers and consumers must focus on the correct way to implement it. EFI is among the first to earn the new certification
PODi has developed as a methodology to ensure companies’ products fully
comply with the documented standard,” said Rab Govil, president of PODi. “EFI
Fiery customers have the security of knowing that interoperability has been fully
tested, and their Fiery-driven PPML workflow will perform as expected today,
and in the future.”
EFI’s work with PODi is an element of the company’s VDP Partner Program
wherein EFI also collaborates with leading personalization software and hardware vendors to ensure the Fiery’s superior workflow. In addition to testing a
wide variety of product combinations EFI ensures an open Fiery platform by
supporting the Xerox® VIPP (Variable-data Intelligent PostScript Printware) and
a host of legacy proprietary languages, in addition to the Fiery FreeForm™ VDP
language and PPML industry standard. The Fiery server readily integrates into
existing workflows and delivers consistency regardless of whether the job is VDP
or non-VDP. The EFI Fiery platform also offers unparalleled color quality and
production efficiency to enable customers to execute compelling personalized
marketing programs.
Additionally, because the Internet is an easy way for EFI customers to work with
their customers on one-to-one marketing projects, VDP is incorporated into EFI’s
web-to-print solutions, including Digital StoreFront™ and the PrinterSite® family
of products. EFI is a reseller of technology from XMPie®, a standalone business
unit of Xerox, as well as an OEM, integrating XMPie personalization technology
directly into its line of web-to-print solutions to further help customers produce
powerfully-personalized, visually-rich one-to-one communications. EFI’s webto-print solutions integrate with EFI Fiery and Print MIS solutions, creating an
efficient, profitable way for EFI customers to handle the increased business VDP
makes possible.
To help customers immediately get started with VDP, EFI offers the Fiery
FreeForm Kit, which includes examples they can use to show their customers
what is possible with personalized marketing campaigns. The examples may be
edited to use as the basis for VDP jobs. Also including sample databases and instructions, the Fiery FreeForm Kit offers an ideal way for customers to learn how
VDP works. Additionally, EFI offers a free tutorial booklet, “The ABC’s of VDP” to
explain the basics. EFI’s VDP customer success stories, including Boomerang
Hawaii’s, are published at efi.com, and several EFI VDP case studies are included in PODi’s Best Practices in Digital Print database.

EFI’s Line-Up of Production Intelligence Solutions on
Display at drupa 2008
New Plant Manager “Control Center” Allows Unified View of Facility
customer-focused digital printing innovation, is showcasing a complete shopfloor
production intelligence line-up at drupa 2008 to inform print service providers
how to reduce costs, waste and equipment downtime (stand C01, Hall 5, 29th
May to 11th June).
EFI Auto-Count® and Paper Monitor will take center stage. Auto-Count Di-
381
rect Machine Interface (DMI™) technology collects counts, press status, speed
and other critical information automatically, directly from equipment, in real-time.
With Auto-Count, print service providers have the information they need to prevent costly mistakes, reduce waste and better manage their entire operation.
Auto-Count Paper Monitor manages the most costly raw material, providing yield
and production information on each roll. Together, these tools integrate the production environment, providing print service providers the best opportunity to
maximize profitability. At drupa EFI will enhance the Auto-Count offering with
the introduction of the Auto-Count Plant Manager.
“Auto-Count and Paper Monitor provide sustained performance and rapid payback,” commented Marc Olin, senior vice president/general manager, EFI Advanced Professional Print Systems. “This is true Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) for print. Our Auto-Count clients consistently eliminate the dumping
of thousands of signatures, as well as many of the return-to-press incidents, due
to mismatched quantities. It’s common to hear reports of a two to three percent
overall reduction in paper consumption.”
Now available, Auto-Count Plant Manager is a desktop “control center” for AutoCount, providing real-time information to support critical business decisions by
giving managers a new level of visibility into the production process. This tool
consolidates information from all monitored devices into desktop views, status
and historical reports.
Plant Manager takes shop floor production intelligence to the next level by enabling this wealth of information to flow into EFI Hagen™ OA and EFI Prograph®
as well as non-EFI management solutions. Plant Manager can be translated into
almost any language, has an easy to use interface, and includes standard reports plus the ability to create custom reports.
“We’re proud to be the leader in print management solutions worldwide. With
that in mind, we know that many print service providers, particularly in Europe
and Asia, are very interested in Auto-Count for real-time shop floor data collection and monitoring but use non-EFI MIS systems,” said Bob Howard, product
manager, EFI Advanced Professional Print Software. “Now these customers
can install Auto-Count and seamlessly integrate their existing MIS system with
the Plant Manager ‘dashboard’ to make Auto-Count a powerful business intelligence tool.”
Auto-Count’s management information helps identify and analyze chronic production problems. Visual feedback, alerts, and automated shutdown options
work together to hit production targets on single and multi-part jobs. Together,
these features increase capacity utilization and dramatically reduce paper consumption with a direct impact on the bottom line.
In addition to the EFI booth, Auto-Count will be on display in the In-Log booth

EFI Hagen and EFI Prograph Management Systems
Receive JDF Certification
Leading Production Planning and Management Software Complete PIA/GATF
Testing on Behalf of CIP4
customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced that its Hagen™
and Prograph® management systems have each received JDF certification from
PIA/GATF. Prograph and Hagen are among the first management systems to
pass the stringent Job Definition Format testing process by PIA/GATF, the official certification body for CIP4 (the International Cooperation for the Integration
of the Processes in Prepress, Press and Postpress).
The certification process involves a series of tests – ranging from attribute value
tests to full blown JDF job ticket conformance – over several days conducted
in the PIA/GATF’s state-of-the-art facility. Hagen and Prograph passed all the
rigorous standards of JDF product certification and are now certified to create
and accept updated job details as the job is running via JMF (Job Messaging
383
Format). These systems have efficient two way communication between capable devices, and the ability to communicate correctly to both prepress and
conventional printing workflows.
”PIA/GATF continues to expand our JDF Certification portfolio with the conclusion of this beta and the support of EFI,” said Dr. Mark Bohan, vice president,
research and technology, PIA/GATF. “By using certified solutions, print providers
can be confident in the adoption and usage of JDF throughout their operations.
EFI continues to be a strong proponent of JDF and we are pleased to have them
participate fully in this process.”
“EFI is proud to receive JDF certifications for Hagen and Prograph,” said Marc
Olin, senior vice president/general manager, EFI Advanced Professional Print
Software (APPS). “This accomplishment is welcome news for our worldwide
customers who can now seamlessly share information between production and
management processes to realize productivity improvements and cost savings.
EFI has been committed to JDF and CIP4 for many years and we’re very pleased
that our efforts have resulted in these certifications. We are anticipating successful certification on our other MIS systems as well.”
EFI Prograph delivers a comprehensive workflow planning and management
solution for magazine, catalog, book, retail insert and large commercial print
operations. The solution offers comprehensive planning capabilities, including
versioning, complex imposition, bindery planning and distribution tools, enabling
users to make more informed business decisions and streamline their production
process.
EFI Hagen is an MIS solution designed to effectively support technology-driven
printing operations, from medium-sized commercial printers to multi-plant enterprises. Providing a robust and advanced accounting package with high-end
applications for estimating, job management, scheduling, purchasing, inventory
and fulfillment, Hagen allows print service providers to collect, share, analyze
and respond to information in real-time.
The latest releases of Hagen and Prograph are on display at drupa 2008, 29th
May to 11th June in Dusseldorf, Germany, in EFI’s booth (stand C01, Hall 5) as
well as in the JDF Experience Parc (Innovation hall, Hall 7). Prograph version
7.0, which began shipping in April, has several product enhancements, most
notably a new invoicing module which supports Contract Billing. This allows
print service providers to represent long-term contract pricing they have in place
with clients, a common practice for publication printers. The system then helps
them generate the invoices based on these contracts using the planning data in
Prograph.

found in Claro Premedia. Specifically built to integrate into automation products like Enfocus SWITCH, Claro Single offers true automated image processing power. Where products like Adobe Photoshop can be used for basic batch
processing tasks like color conversion, Elpical’s image analysis adds dynamic
quality improvement capabilities to a workflow that otherwise could only be performed by an operator. Industrial photo-studios, photo-labs, commercial digital printers or anyone else dealing with a large amount of pictures per day will
quickly see the benefits of Claro Single.

Giesbeek, The Netherlands, May 14, 2008 - Elpical, a leading specialist in
Claro Premedia: Better images for editorial or catalog workflows Elpical Claro
Premedia is the solution for demanding environments with high volume image
throughput. Its client/server architecture combines the advantages of serverbased image optimization with the subtlety of operator interventions. Claro Premedia can easily be integrated in editorial or catalog production systems, taking
into account scaling and cropping parameters when optimizing the image quality.
On top of a completely revamped user interface, version 5 of Claro Premedia
introduces a host of new features that further increase image quality and expand
automation capabilities. In order to repurpose images for different media, you
can now define Dynamic DeviceLink processing channels, converting images
from one CMYK color space to another and optimizing the printability of those
images for specific printing processes and paper types. Claro will also recognize
bitmap logos inside a PDF, leaving them untouched while only processing the
actual photographs in the file. For automation and traceability, Claro Premedia 5
introduces support for XMP metadata. Besides routing files on IPTC information,
you can now also route files based on XMP data. An image process log can be
saved in XMP, making it easy for anyone to see the changes compared to the
original image.

Enfocus introduces support for XPS Toolkit from
Actino Software at drupa 2008
May 29, 2008 - Gent, Belgium - At drupa, Enfocus introduces a new configurator for Enfocus Switch that can convert XPS into PDF using the Actino Software
XPS Toolkit.
Management software
Configurators in Enfocus FullSwitch and PowerSwitch allow easy configuration
and automation of key third-party applications in larger automated flows. The
new Actino Software XPS Toolkit configurator uses the Global Graphics eDocument Library and is designed to convert from XPS to PDF in automated workflows in a corporate or prepress environment.
On drupa 2008 the PDF specialists from Actino Software will show the new configurator for XPS Toolkit for the first time. It will be demonstrated within Enfocus
PowerSwitch on the Global Graphics booth in the drupa innovation parc.
”All prepress and print companies have a PDF based production system and we
give them the simple opportunity to receive XPS”, says Michael Karbe, President
and CEO of Actino Software. ”XPS creation is free and the properties are given,
so you cannot forget to embed fonts, for example. Very good reasons for printers
or digital print shops to ask their customer for XPS.”

“While XPS is not present to a high degree in publishing workflows today, it can
be expected that more and more XPS documents will find their way to publishers
and printers. Having a strategy to deal with those documents will become very
important,” says David van Driessche, Director of Enfocus Marketing at Enfocus.
“The new XPS Toolkit configurator offers a seamless way to integrate XPS to
PDF conversion into Switch-based workflows. Publishers and printers now have
a high-quality conversion path from XPS to PDF - a file format they know how
to deal with.”

XF platform lets end-users combine EFI XF’s proofing and production capabilities with other tasks such as PDF file creation, quality control, image optimization
and more. Switch becomes a dashboard that configures and directs companies’
workflows.
“Automation of third-party applications through configurators is a crucial aspect
of Switch,” says David van Driessche, Director of Enfocus Marketing. “As the EFI
XF solutions are such versatile applications and cater to many different market
segments, a configurator for Switch is a perfect development. Switch has that
same inherent flexibility and can be easily adjusted to reap the maximum benefits
in all of those workflows. We’re extremely pleased to offer this new configurator
to our customers today.”

May 29, 2008 - Gent, Belgium - At drupa, Enfocus will demonstrate major enhancements to its Switch and PitStop product lines and also mark the integration
of Gradual Software within the organization.
Major upgrades of PitStop Professional, PitStop Server and the Switch product family are shown in both booths. Fully-functional trial versions of these key
Enfocus products are available for download now from the Enfocus website at:
www.enfocus.com.
“Enfocus wants to enable automation for all participants in the production workflow, even if they use separate and incompatible software,” says Peter Camps,
Senior Vice President Enfocus. “To transmit and route jobs, you need a strong
automation backbone that makes it possible to interface with third-party systems.
Enfocus Switch offers this capability. To reduce the need for manual intervention, you have to validate the content of a job and make sure it matches the
agreed quality standards. This can be handled by the Certified PDF workflow
offered by Enfocus Instant PDF, PitStop Professional and PitStop Server, with
advanced editing carried out if required in Enfocus Neo.”
New product upgrades
The new PitStop Professional 08 offers enhanced ease-of use and speed Targeting every graphic arts professional using PDF for print, PitStop Professional
is long established as the de facto standard for preflighting, editing and fixing
of PDF files. The new PitStop Professional 08 takes its functionality to the next
stage.
New features include sign-off on preflight errors, a redesigned and significantly
404
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
more compact PitStop Inspector, better page configuration handling, faster access to common functions through expanded contextual menus and conformance to the latest standards and operating systems.
Additional features include a choice of industry standard color engines, PDF/X4 compliancy in PDF Profiles and Action Lists (in addition to support for earlier
PDF/X levels), easy PDF Profile adaptation to create new preflight profiles from
existing items and user-configurable viewing preferences.
The new PitStop Server 08 provides improved performance and full compatibility to the new standards PitStop Server is a hot folder-based application for
graphic arts professionals who need unattended PDF document processing or
need to process high-volumes of PDF documents. It is the indispensable tool
for pre-flight checking of PDF documents, with facilities for fixing many common
problems without human intervention.
New features of PitStop Server 08 include a totally reworked and more intuitive
user interface, server based processing (PitStop Server now runs as a service
on Windows and as a login item on Mac OS X), the ability to process two PDF
documents in parallel offering greater performance, more powerful Hot Folder
processing, import and export of Hot Folder settings, a detailed history log, improved security and expanded e-mail notification.
The new Switch 08 Switch 08 is a major upgrade for all products in the Switch
family of automation-enabling software (the entry-level LightSwitch, mainstream
FullSwitch and advanced PowerSwitch), adding significant new functionality and
offering new workflow automation opportunities for ad agencies, publishers and
printers alike.
Switch 08 includes many major improvements. Even in complex flows, the job
processing has become more predictable and the implementation of real job
priorities allows fast-tracking jobs through a flow. Switch 08 also optimizes the
time it takes the first job to flow through a complete flow, enabling better resource
use of devices such as proofers and rips.
Hot folders, FTP and email receive tools can be scheduled to automatically activate only in a predefined time window and now offer a “read-only” processing
mode where the original jobs are left on the server and a copy is processed
through the flow. Switch further implements many improved and new tools and
enhances variable support. In PowerSwitch, metadata support and scripting
possibilities have been greatly expanded and offer for example support for compression, database access and SOAP or web service communication directly
from within Javascript.
The Enfocus Theater During drupa, key Enfocus speakers, distributors, Crossroads partners as well as representatives from the Ghent PDF Workgroup will
give several daily informative sessions at the Enfocus theater. Drupa visitors
405
attending these presentations will be updated on the latest PDF and automation
tools from Enfocus and key partners.
The new Enfocus product upgrades will be available at drupa on the EskoArtwork

5. Web-to-Print-Forum: Software-Lösung „Vit2Print“
offizieller Partner
Die Software-Lösung „Vit2Print” ist offizieller Partner des 5. Web-to-Print Forums, das am 9. April 2008 in Mainz stattfinden wird. Das Forum wendet
sich an Agenturen, Druckereien, Mediengestalter und Verlage, die sich über
die neuesten technischen Web-to-Print-Lösungen im Press-Bereich informieren
wollen.
Web-to-Print ist eine innovative Technologie für die graphische Industrie, die
es ermöglicht, über das Internet effizienter zu produzieren. Während des Forums wird der neueste Stand der Technik vorgeführt und an konkreten Beispielen
gezeigt, wie Web-to-Print Software Prozesse im PrePress-Bereich beschleunigen kann.
„Vit2Print“ ist offizieller Partner des Forums geworden, weil die Software Suite im
Vergleich mit anderen Lösungen überzeugende Vorteile bietet. Das bestätigte
bereits der Titel „Master of Excellence” beim letztjährigen “Corporate Media
Award 2007”.
Web-to-Print wird auch eines der bestimmenden Themen auf der Fachmesse
„Drupa 2008“ sein, die Ende Mai in Düsseldorf startet. „Vit2Print“ wird dort - wie
auch auf dem Web-to-Print Forum - die Software-Lösung vorführen, mit der jeder
Kunde, Auftraggeber oder Dienstleister mit Hilfe eines normalen Web-Browsers
an jedem seiner Druckaufträge mitarbeiten kann. Er benötigt weder spezielle
Software (wie etwa die bekannten Programme InDesign oder QuarkXPress),
noch spezielle Kenntnisse und spart so Kosten und vor allem Zeit.

Vit2Print
Das Problem: Benötigen Partner oder Niederlassungen ihre eigenen personalisierten Werbemittel, ist der
Aufwand bisher sehr groß, ein durchgängiges Corporate Design und damit den Kern der Marke zu wahren.
Kurierfahrten, Korrekturen als pdf-Daten per E-Mail verschicken, Telefonate,
Faxe – und was ist jetzt die wirklich aktuelle, letzte Version eines Dokumentes?
Wer aber auf diesen Aufwand verzichtet, verliert die wichtige Kontrolle übers
Erscheinungsbild: Farben stimmen plötzlich nicht, Schriften werden vertauscht,
der Seitenaufbau nicht eingehalten.
Die Lösung: Bewahren Sie in Ruhe den Überblick über alle Druckstücke Ihres
Unternehmens – mit Vit2Print, einer einfach und intuitiv zu bedienden Web-toprint-Anwendung. Mit Vit2Print - stellen Sie Ihren Partnern über das Internet
alle relevanten Dokumente online zur Verfügung, - kann jeder autorisierte Partner ohne grafische Kenntnisse und ohne teure Design-Programme Adressen
ändern, Bilder austauschen, Preise korrigieren – ein Standard-Internetbrowser
ohne Zusatz-Software genügt dafür, - können Sie online verfolgen, welche Änderungen gemacht worden sind und wer sie veranlasst hat, Wie einfach das geht
und Sie mit Vit2Print in Zukunft Kosten sparen, Zeit gewinnen und Ihre Nerven
schonen, zeigen wir Ihnen gerne.

Web inspection with automatic color comparison by
master image and extended field of view. New software
version for digital web monitoring by Erhardt+Leimer
The software ”color comparison“ is best suited for the inspection of homogeneous color areas such as on logos and trademarks and for forms and packaging
printing. The color comparison requires that a master image is learned and analyzed. In the course of the analysis the master image is segmented into color
areas of identical color shade and color intensity according to the CIE-LAB criteria. The segmented color areas can be deselected individually as required by
production.
The alarm values for color deviations can be set individually. Digital outputs may
be switched if an alarm value is exceeded. The LAB-deviations are shown as
numeric values so that the operator can react immediately on the basis of this
precise information. The master values in turn may be adapted to the actual
requirements of production.
The software version “color comparison” is perfectly suited to monitor the register
settings.
Another ELSCAN version will be exhibited with an extended field of view. This
new member of the ELSCAN family is also based on the time-tested modular
principle and functionality of the earlier ELSCAN systems. This new visual range
is up to 200 x 156 mm or 8 x 6 inches big, that is it is 4 times as large as with
the standard version. For these applications special attention was directed to
the flash design to guarantee perfect lighting.
05/05/2008
New features in web monitoring and web inspection
with ELSCAN OMS 4
Erhardt+Leimer has further developed web monitoring options creating new
customer benefits based on state-of-the-art digital technology and highest functionality.
These new features are based on a new camera head developed by Erhardt+Leimer. The camera has no components that are moved. The operator
concept based on PC technology is new. A new area flash for diffuse lighting
provides a homogeneous illumination of the printed surface which is important in
particular with strongly reflective surfaces. The system integrates two cameras
with fixed focus and different focal lengths. They capture the entire web and at
the same time show an enlargement of the register mark – “Web Monitoring -
415
view in view”.
The enlargement of the print image is direct and digital. It is absolutely reliable
and there is no dead time. The switching process from one camera to the other
is unnoticed by the user.
The time-tested, standard functionality of the ELSCAN concept remains unchanged, that is image stabilization, the simple selection of reference positions
and the extended software version “Pro” are part of the system. The image
navigation feature is new.
The ELSCAN family will continue to grow on the basis of these fundamental
features. New modules will be added to always keep ELSCAN modern and up
to date.

100 % Print Inspection gets larger
Erhardt+Leimer will present a new multi-camera system for 100% Print Inspection at DRUPA 2008. The high resolution, fast line cameras allow for speeds of
over 200 m/min. at highest resolution level. 12.000 to 18.000 active pixels are
available for web widths of 1000 mm and beyond. This high resolution meets
the high demands of quality assurance in packaging, forms and foil printing. The
ideally-suited diffuse light of the new lighting system TubeLight ensures perfect
monitoring results even with strongly reflective surfaces and detects even embossed structures of metal foils.
The inspection system is shown on the stand of various machine manufacturers
and on the Erhardt+Leimer stand in hall 16 where it is running on a 660 mm
inspection rewinder.

100% Print Inspection with Length Monitoring
Erhardt+Leimer will present new, innovative software functions for their timetested Print Inspection System NYSCAN at DRUPA 2008. For the first time it is
now possible to monitor spaces. This new feature requires very little effort on
the part of the operator; the target values for the spaces are simply entered via
a graphic interface. It is further possible to monitor a multiple of these spaces
as repeat length. Any direction of measurement can be defined, down web,
cross web or a used-specified diagonal to the web. A patented calibration system from Erhardt+Leimer compensates inaccuracies due to distortions by the
camera lens.
The inspection system is shown on the stand of various machine manufacturers

EskoArtwork stellt durchgängigen JDF-Workflow für
die Verpackungsproduktion auf der drupa vor
Neben EskoArtwork sind an der einheitlichen Prozesskontrolle die Hersteller
Dr. Lauterbach & Partner (SAP Business Partner), MAN Roland und Bobst
beteiligt EskoArtwork, der weltweit führende Anbieter von innovativen Lösungen
für Design, Produktionsvorbereitung und Zusammenarbeit in der Verpackungsund Akzidenzdruckindustrie, kündigt die Vollendung des ersten komplett durchgängigen JDF-Workflows für die Verpackungsproduktion an. In Zusammenarbeit mit
den Herstellern Dr. Lauterbach & Partner, MAN Roland und Bobst S.A sowie
Limmatdruck Zeiler AG und dem Schweizer Markenartikler Migros eine innovative Lösung für die Prozessautomatisierung und Prozesskontrolle entstanden,
die alle Schritte von der Idee bis zur Auslieferung des fertigen Verpackungsproduktes umfasst.
Der JDF-Workflow und sein ausschließlich elektronischer Informationstrans-
423

www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
port ermöglichen im Rahmen der Wertschöpfungskette eine rationalisierte und
wirtschaftliche Produktion. Durch die Integration aller im Herstellungs- und
Verarbeitungsprozess benötigter Systeme und Maschinen sind bisher manuell
getätigte Einstellungen und Jobübergaben nicht mehr nötig. Neben Zeit, Kosten- und Materialersparnissen profitieren die am Verpackungsworkflow
beteiligten Verpackungsentwickler, Grafikdesigner, Druckvorstufenbetriebe, Klischeeanstalten, Druckbetriebe, Weiterverarbeiter und Markenartikler von der
Transparenz und der Nachverfolgbarkeit der absoluten Prozesskontrolle. Fehlerquellen
werden vermieden, doppelte Eingaben gehören der Vergangenheit an, der Anfall von Makulatur im Drucksaal sinkt und die Nachkalkulation in der Auftragsbearbeitung wird einfacher.
„Mit unseren Partnern Dr. Lauterbach & Partner, MAN Roland und Bobst ist
es uns von Herstellerseite gelungen, die Entwicklung und Produktion einer Verpackung von A bis Z zentral und lückenlos über ein MIS-System zu steuern,“
fasst Stefan Schirmer, Solution Manager Carton und Corrugated Packaging
EskoArtwork, für alle am JDF-Workflow Beteiligten zusammen. Limmatdruck
Zeiler AG aus Spreitenbach bei Zürich als einer der ersten Anwender eines
durchgängigen JDF-Workflows und der Markenkonzern Migros belegen, dass
die Zukunft der Verpackungsbranche bereits begonnen hat. Die Nutzung optimal auf einander abgestimmter technischer Lösungen erhöht die Produktivität
und steigert die Profitabilität.
Zukunft liegt in Prozesskontrolle Das Herzstück des JDF-Workflows bildet die
auf SAP ERP basierende Branchenlösung LP.Packaging für die Verpackungsindustrie von Dr. Lauterbach & Partner, die alle zentralen logistischen und finanziellen Prozesse des Verpackungsworkflows enthält: Dazu gehören die Produktentwicklung und -spezifikation, Kalkulation, Angebots- und Verkaufsauftragsabwicklung, Druckvorlagenherstellung, Werkzeug- und Druckformenverwaltung, Disposition und Verfügbarkeitsprüfung, Materialwirtschaft und Beschaffung, Produktionsplanung und -steuerung, EDI-Lieferplan- und Konsignationsabwicklungen (Vendor Managed Inventory) mit Kunden und Lieferanten, Produktionsund Rückmeldeprozesse, Warehouse- und Materialflusssteuerung, Qualitätsmanagement, Transportplanung, branchenspezifische Kosten- und Leistungsrechnung, Finanzbuchhaltung sowie eine Vielzahl an analytischen Anwendungen
und Auswertungen.
In der Verpackungsentwicklung, im Grafikdesign und in der Druckvorstufe kommen Lösungen der Esko Software Suite zum Einsatz. Hierzu gehören das
strukturelle und grafische Design, die Druckvorbereitung mit Datenkontrolle,
Ausschießen, Überfüllen und Rippen der Druckdatei sowie die Erstellung der
Druckplattenbelichtung. Alle Vorstufen- und Produktionsprozesse werden über
die SAP-JDF-Schnittstelle von LP.Packaging mit Produkt- und Auftragsdaten
versorgt; dadurch werden unproduktive und fehlerträchtige Mehrfacheingaben
425
vermieden. Während und nach Abschluss der einzelnen Arbeitsschritte werden permanent Stati (Meilensteine) und Prozessdaten an LP.Packaging zurückgemeldet. Dadurch ist der Auftragsfortschritt für die Produktionsplanung und
–steuerung zu jederzeit ersichtlich; Planabweichungen und Störungen können
somit frühzeitig erkannt und Gegenmaßnahmen eingeleitet werden.
Eine weitere wesentliche Neuheit des JDF-Workflows ist die elektronische
Steuerung der Druckmaschine mit printnet PressManager perfect. MAN Roland
hat damit eine JDF-fähige Software entwickelt, die die Druckmaschine anhand
der übertragenen Produkt- und Auftragsdaten automatisch für den Druck vorbereitet, den Farbauftrag optimiert und die Farbwerke einstellt. Nach Abschluss
des jeweiligen Auftrags erfolgt die Rückmeldung der Produktionsdaten an das
SAP-System.
Das gleiche gilt für die Steuerung der Weiterverarbeitung. Die Maschinen der
BOBST S.A. werden über die HIGHWAY-Programme in diesen Workflow integriert. Dank des bidirektionalen Datenflusses kann HIGHWAY die Liste der zu produzierenden Aufträge von SAP empfangen; die Produktions- und Produktivitätsdaten wiederum werden an SAP geschickt, um dort die Produktion bestmöglich
zu verfolgen, Berichte zu generieren und Angebote zu optimieren. HIGHWAY
hat eine sehr einfach zu bedienende Oberfläche, die für alle Maschinentypen
gleich ist. Die Maschine stellt sich anhand der dort eingegebenen Auftragsdaten
automatisch ein. Die zusätzliche Möglichkeit, Werte manuell einzugeben, sorgt
für eine wesentliche Verkürzung der Maschineneinstellung. Die FaltschachtelKlebemaschine ALPINA wird mit einer neuen Funktion vorgestellt, die es erlaubt,
aus JDF-Daten eine automatische Einstellung der Maschine ohne Eingriff des
Maschinenführers vorzunehmen.
Für die drupa 2008 wird EskoArtwork zusammen mit seinen Partnern einen
Film über die JDF-Verpackungsproduktion drehen, in dem ein kompletter JDFVerpackungsworkflow in allen Einzelheiten anschaulich dokumentiert wird.

EskoArtwork introduces Studio
Studio and new Studio Toolkits bring interactive 3D packaging design for boxes
and flexibles to Adobe® Illustrator® EskoArtwork, the global market leader in
innovative design, pre-production, collaboration and finishing solutions for the
packaging, commercial printing and sign and display industry, announces the
introduction of Studio, a plug-in environment for Adobe® Illustrator® that brings
interactive 3D packaging design to the familiar Adobe® Illustrator® software.
EskoArtwork is also introducing Studio Toolkits, a collection of supporting simplified structural design solutions.
“In packaging design, the world is certainly not a flat place and there is a clear
demand for more 3D capabilities as communicating with a 3D design greatly
benefits the turn-around time of the design process. Very often existing 3D tools
are too complicated and simply not suited for a packaging design workflow,”
explains Kris Van Bael, Product Manager 3D and Visualization, EskoArtwork.
“EskoArtwork introduces the perfect solutions to solve these issues. Studio and
the supporting Studio Toolkits are closely integrated with Adobe® Illustrator®
427
and come equipped with built-in EskoArtwork packaging knowledge. Studio reduces the need for multiple costly mock-ups, helps to spot design-errors faster
and takes away the guesswork from 2D flats.“
Studio is the next incarnation of the award winning DeskPack 3-dX concept.
Thanks to the new Studio toolkits, Studio offers a complete solution for both folding carton, corrugated and flexible packaging. As the central ‘hub’ of a graphic
design solution it offers a 3D viewing environment for instantly seeing the artwork
applied onto the package. To make the design process even easier, Studio offers packaging-savvy navigation, alignment tools and artwork distribution tools.
Studio allows designers to send their ideas to clients for review and approval by
creating a dynamic 3D PDF file compatible with the free Adobe® Reader®.
Together with Studio, EskoArtwork is introducing Studio Toolkits, a new line of
structural design tools, to supply the packaging shapes for Studio. At drupa,
the first two versions of Studio Toolkit will be demonstrated: » Studio Toolkit for
Flexibles: This unique flexible packaging design application allows a designer to
build realistic structural models of common flexible packaging types in a matter
of minutes. The first version of Studio Toolkit for Flexibles supports pillow bags,
gusseted bags and rectangular stand-up pouches.
» Studio Toolkit for Boxes: A plug-in for Adobe® Illustrator®. With this toolkit, designers create box shapes that can be decorated and folded right inside Adobe®
Illustrator®. Alternatively, designers can take an existing technical drawing and
fold it into a 3D representation of a box.
“Studio integrates perfectly with other EskoArtwork software, most notably with
structural design files from ArtiosCAD and Score!,” adds Van Bael. “Studio also
integrates smoothly with DeskPack plug-ins and the new Dynamic Content application. For ultra-realistic virtual mock-ups showing varnishes, metallic inks,
embossing or other special effects, Visualizer accepts and further enhances
packaging designs from Studio and the Studio Toolkits.”
Frank Adegeest, Director Packaging Design Software Product Group comments: “We have noticed an increasing need to evaluate the impact of various
packaging designs, comparing flexible versus rigid packaging formats, considering regional differences etc. Environmental issues, specific regional brand
requirements or other have forced brand owners to look for alternative packaging solutions. Up until now there was no easy solution to rapidly explore design
intent on alternative shapes. Using Studio combined with Studio Toolkits, designers are able to instantly view and evaluate a range of packaging format alternatives. In the development of Studio, EskoArtwork has bundled all its packaging expertise and made it available to the packaging designers platform of
choice - Adobe® Illustrator® – providing a series of new and powerful tools. Listening to our first series of users in the packaging design market, these tools will
428
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
grow to become the new standard and will dramatically improve efficiency and
productivity.”
Studio and the Studio Toolkit will be demonstrated at drupa creating, in a matter
of minutes, exceptional 3D visuals of boxes and bags. Studio and the Studio
Toolkit for Flexibles will be released and for sale at drupa; Studio Toolkit for
Boxes will become available shortly thereafter.

EskoArtwork presents full end-to-end JDF workflow
solution for packaging production at drupa
EskoArtwork joins forces with Dr. Lauterbach & Partner, MAN Roland and
Bobst to realize full process control for folding carton production EskoArtwork,
the global market leader in innovative design, pre-production, collaboration and
finishing solutions for the packaging, commercial printing and sign and display industry, will present the first fully integrated end-to-end JDF workflow solution for
packaging production at drupa 2008. The company cooperates with Dr. Lauterbach & Partner (SAP Business Partner), MAN Roland and Bobst S.A. as well as
Limmatdruck Zeiler AG and Migros to implement an innovative solution for process automation and control. The new solution incorporates all steps in folding
carton production, from idea through to delivery.
The JDF workflow and its fully digital data transfer enable streamlined and efficient communication of production-critical data across the supply chain. Previously manual processes and data transfers are now made redundant through
the integration of all systems and machines required for the manufacturing process. Packaging developers, graphic designers, prepress departments, engraving plants, print shops, converters and brand owners involved in the packaging
workflow save time, cost and materials. Important additional benefits arise from
the transparency and traceability of the entire process. The innovative workflow also reduces errors such as duplicate data entry, cuts paper wastage and
simplifies pre and postcalculation of packaging jobs.
Stefan Schirmer, Solution Manager for Carton and Corrugated Packaging at
EskoArtwork comments on behalf of all partners involved in the JDF workflow:
“With our partners Dr. Lauterbach & Partner, MAN Roland and Bobst, manufacturing now has full, centralized control over the development and production
of a packaging item through the MIS system.” Limmatdruck Zeiler AG based in
Spreitenbach near Zurich and Swiss-branded company Migros were among the
first companies to use a perfectly harmonized end-to-end JDF workflow solution,
clearly expressing the future path of the packaging industry.
the JDF workflow. This application covers all the key logistical and financial processes of the packaging workflow, such as product development and specification, costing, processing of quotes and sales orders, copy preparation, tool and
printing form management, scheduling and availability checks, materials management and procurement, production planning and control. Additional applications include management of delivery schedules and consignment stocks (Vendor Managed Inventory) with customers and suppliers, production and feedback
processes, warehouse management and material flow control, quality management, transport planning, industry-specific costs and calculations, administrative
accounting as well as further analytical evaluations.
Software tools from the Esko Software Suite are used in packaging development, graphic design and prepress, including structural graphic design, print
preparation with data control, imposition, trapping and ripping print files as well
as plate exposure. The JDF-based SAP interface of the LP.Packaging system
provides product and job data to prepress and production departments, thus
avoiding unproductive and error-prone multiple data entries. Project milestones
and process data are continuously fed back into the LP.Packaging system during and upon completion of the individual job, allowing the production planning
and control staff to check the job progress at any time. Schedule variations and
operational faults are detected at a very early stage and, if necessary corrective
actions can be undertaken immediately.
Electronic control of the printing presses using printnet PressManager perfect
is another important new component of the JDF-integrated workflow. To this
purpose, MAN Roland has developed a JDF-compliant application that uses the
product and job data to automatically set up the printing press, optimize the ink
fountains and adjust the printing units. Production data is fed back into the SAP
system upon completion of each job.
For the converting processes, BOBST S.A. has also integrated its folder/gluers
into this workflow via the HIGHWAY interface program. With bidirectional data
flow, HIGHWAY can receive the list of jobs to be produced from SAP. The production and productivity data is then sent to SAP for optimum production monitoring, report generation and offer optimization. HIGHWAY’s very user-friendly
interface is the same for all machine types and triggers automatic adjustment
of the machine for every job data entry. The extra option of entering values
manually can considerably reduce machine make-ready times. Requiring no
operator intervention, the ALPINA folding box gluing machine comes equipped
with automatic adjustment based on the JDF data.
EskoArtwork and its partners will demonstrate at drupa 2008 a complete JDF
packaging workflow through all the individual units.
The future lies in process control LP. Packaging, the SAP based solution developed by Dr. Lauterbach & Partner for the packaging industry, lies at the heart of

inks on real substrates. The integrated solution will be rolled out to the market
near the end of this year, but actual proofing samples can be evaluated on both
companies’ drupa 2008 stands (Sun Chemical: Hall 6, Stand B75. EskoArtwork:
Hall 8b, Stand A23).
The two companies have developed a process which starts when a designer
submits a job to prepress for final print color separations. Knowing the specific
printing process and substrates, he or she can map colors to real ink SmartColour data and accurately preview inside the EskoArtwork editor. Brand managers, prepress operators, designers and converters can all visualize exact
proofs and agree the final results. The prepress operator uses FlexProof to
generate a PDF file for remote proofing and the resulting PDF has embedded
CMYK profiles. Production jobs stored electronically can be referenced to color
data, so a recurring job can be processed quickly.
The partnership will ensure that color management is available for everyone.
Benefits include: -A faster development process for brand owners and solutions
that deliver on exact brand colors. -Improved options for designers in terms
of packaging structure and innovations. -Realistic, reliable and simplified spot
color proofing for prepress operators. -Faster press set-up times for converters
and color matching to proofs, which means a reduced requirement for testing on
the presses. Rudi Lenz, Sun Chemical’s CEO and president, said: “Both Sun
Chemical and EskoArtwork recognize this is a natural fit and strong partnering
opportunity. It will provide our mutual customers with new, innovative solutions
that bring added value, and is part of our commitment to quality, service and
innovation. EskoArtwork has a worldwide reputation for excellence and innovation within color-managed workflows and we are delighted to be sharing our
expertise and working more closely together.”
Carsten Knudsen, president and CEO of EskoArtwork, said: “EskoArtwork is a
recognized leader in the integration of color management throughout the packaging and print production workflow, from design to print and manufacture. Our
partnership with Sun Chemical is a perfect and real illustration of our ‘Connect
More!’ drupa theme. The integration with SmartColour brings an additional dimension to our ‘Color for Everyone’ solutions by including manufacturer-specific
ink-data into the process. Collaboration with an industry leader like Sun Chemical allows us to move jointly to the next level of color management.”

EskoArtwork introduces Cyrel Digital Imager Advance
Cantilever platesetter for sleeves
Faster set up time for greater productivity: new large format flexo sleeve imager addresses wide web flexible packaging market EskoArtwork, the global
market leader in innovative design, pre-production, collaboration and finishing
435
solutions for the packaging, commercial printing and sign and display industry,
announces the introduction of the Cyrel Digital Imager (CDI) Advance Cantilever
at drupa 2008. Especially designed for the imaging of large format sleeves as
well as optional large format flexo plate imaging, the CDI Advance Cantilever
is targeted at the flexible packaging market, trade shops and large volume converters. Compared to the former CDI Advance 5080, the new CDI Advance
Cantilever enhances throughput, as the removal of the mandrels and the offline
exchange of print sleeves is no longer required. While the currently available,
smaller CDI Compact Cantilever addresses the mid web market, the new CDI
Advance Cantilever is built for the wide web flexible packaging market.
The CDI Advantage The CDI Advance Cantilever is the preferred solution for
flexible packaging markets that require the fastest throughput of large format
flexo plates. It comes with a cantilever air cylinder allowing a very fast exchange
of print sleeves without the need of additional handling equipment such as a
crane. Users of CDI Advance platesetters can exchange drums for 50”x80” or
42”x60” plates (1270 mm x 2032 mm or 1067 x 1524 mm), as well as for sleeves
up to a length of 83.1” (2110 mm). The CDI Advance Cantilever can be optionally
equipped with the EasyClamp III vacuum drum sleeve (patent pending), a pneumatic clamping mechanism that further accelerates plate loading, quickly turning
the Cantilever version into a plate imaging device by just sliding the drum-sleeve
onto the cantilever air cylinder, like a carrier sleeve.
The CDI Advance Cantilever also images quickly. It features a maximum speed
of up 8.0 m²/hr thanks to a highly reliable fiber laser with multibeam optics. This
Optics 80 productivity feature offers the same variable resolution imaging and
seamless imaging of sleeves as models with less productive optics. By imaging
a full format 1270 mm x 2032 mm (50” x 80”) plate in 19 minutes (8 sqm/h;
86 sqft/h), the CDI Advance Cantilever matches the fastest plate processing
equipment available in the industry. CDI Advance Users will also appreciate
SuperSkip technology, which moves the imager quickly over areas that don’t
require imaging.
Sleeve technology takes the lead One of the most significant advantages of
the sleeve technology is that it allows flexographers to print continuous images.
Compared to a printing plate, a sleeve is always imaged, processed and washed
in the same position, with highly accurate registration. Because the printing form
is seamless, flexo printing can easily compete with gravure when it comes to
printing flexible packaging. Thanks to sleeve technology, the round, endless
flexo printing form is imaged and processed on the impression carrier to maximize productivity. Digitally imaged sleeves provide consistent printing, both
across the web and between ink stations.
Faster make-ready times improve response times and offer an important advantage over gravure printing. The flexo printer can deliver a package within
436

a shorter time, at gravure-like quality, and this at a lower overall cost to the
customer. Printers save mounting time, enjoy faster setup and generate significantly less waste. Combining higher quality with increased productivity, flexo
platemaking has moved one step closer to perfection.
when people and processes work together fast and flawlessly. At drupa, EskoArtwork will not only be connecting people, processes, systems and tools, but
will also prove how crucial this is in today’s competitive business landscape,”
states Carsten Knudsen, EskoArtwork President and CEO.
“There is a definite global trend toward the use of sleeves,” comments Jan Buchweitz, EskoArtwork CDI product manager. “Converters find that sleeves allow
them to increase press speed on certain types of substrates. The increased productivity pays for the extra cost of sleeves. And, their customers appreciate the
better quality. With the CDI Cantilever Advance, EskoArtwork is providing an imager that makes the entire process—from imaging, to mounting, to printing—as
easy as possible.”
“EskoArtwork’s ’Connect More!’ vision is the central theme linking its product offerings”, adds EskoArtwork Chief Commercial Officer Guido Van der Schueren,
“This theme will be explored in different dimensions on the booth, integrating
more closely the various steps within a single workflow. This integration process
requires bringing together product design, packaging structure, graphics decoration and print visualization as well as adding intelligent interfaces between
software and hardware components, some of which may be supplied by third
parties.”
At drupa 08 the CDI Advance Cantilever will be shown in combination with the
Inline Main UV Exposure unit, which cures sleeves on the fly, making handling
afterwards as easy as possible.
Dupont and Cyrel Fast DuPont will present at drupa 08 the Cyrel FAST Round
solution for processing Cyrel Fast round sleeves. Not only will this system significantly shorten processing time; it will fit seamlessly onto the Advance Cantilever
for production of high volume flexible packaging. The end result is high quality flexo that one could compare favorably with gravure. Today, Cyrel Round
is the only complete digital sleeve production solution, consisting of a family of
‘ready-to-image’ Cyrel printing sleeves, supported by complementary DuPont
equipment for UV Exposure, processing, drying and finishing. The new Cyrel
FAST Round system uses thermal technology and includes a key innovation
called ‘thermal continuous development’, a “smart” processing technique for developing sleeves.

Connect More! ”Efficiency makes the difference in today’s packaging and printing business. Companies can only improve operating margins and grow profits
437
On more than 800 square meters on stand A23 in the new hall 8b, EskoArtwork will present its various offerings organized by zones addressing packaging
design, packaging pre-production, computer aided design, “color for everyone”,
“automation, integration and collaboration”, digital flexo, digital converting, brand
owners, commercial printing and Enfocus products. Two open theaters will host
a continuous stream of brief overview presentations on highlights for each application segment.
Packaging design Visitors to the Packaging Design zone will see demonstrations
of Studio, a new product line that revolutionizes the way packaging designers
create and communicate their designs. Studio integrates Computer Aided Design (CAD) and graphics design for boxes and flexible packaging within Adobe®
Illustrator®. Together with Studio, EskoArtwork is introducing Studio Toolkits, a
new line of structural design tools supplying the packaging shapes for Studio.
With Studio Toolkit for Boxes designers create box shapes that can be decorated
and folded right inside Adobe® Illustrator®. Alternatively, designers can take an
existing technical drawing and fold it into a 3D representation of a box. Studio
Toolkit for Flexibles lets designers create realistic structural models of common
flexible packaging types such as pillow bags, gusseted bags and rectangular
stand-up pouches.
Visualizer, another breakthrough application for dynamic packaging visualization, creates and shares realistic on-screen mock-ups and soft proofs of complex packaging and label designs. It visualizes special finishing effects such as
metallics, foils, varnishes and embossing.
”Brand owners with a lot of brand extensions or product variants, or active in
tightly regulated markets like pharmaceuticals, liquor and tobacco, will see how
designs can incorporate dynamic content, linked to and automatically updated
from secure databases,” comments Guido Van der Schueren.
Packaging pre-production The Packaging Pre-Production zone offers a close-

Digital Flexo ”Innovation is the key to this zone, with live demonstrations of
the complete workflow from digital data to a processed and press-ready plate,”
states Van der Schueren. EskoArtwork and its flexo partner DuPont will demonstrate new Cyrel Digital Imager (CDI) solutions for flexo sleeve imaging (CDI
Advance Cantilever) and automated flexo platemaking (CDI Spark 4260 Auto).
EskoArtwork’s Digital Flexo Suite integrates all flexo related devices into a costeffective solution that simplifies flexo plate room operation: from the digital file
to the finished flexo plate, including plate cutting on the Kongsberg table and
mounting on Mylar sleeves.
Digital Converting and Finishing The Digital Converting zone will feature the
world premiere of the new, high-performance Kongsberg XP die-less cutting
tables. These heavy-duty tables are optimized for short-run digital converting
439
for the packaging and POP markets. The XP extends the Kongsberg range of
tooling for high-performance digital finishing, including static knives, crease tools
and kiss-cutting knives, specially designed for the rigors of digital printing and
finishing for packaging.
The demand for fast and high-precision contour cutting and milling of sign and
display materials has increased fueled by the rapid growth in digital sign and display printing. At drupa, EskoArtwork presents the Kongsberg i-XL range, bringing users a fast ROI and accurate cutting across a wide range of rigid and flexible
materials. EskoArtwork will also show SignUp, a graphic layout application tool
that optimizes substrate usage and reduces lead times through intelligent nesting for digital press and finishing machines. It helps to reduce waste of variable
resources, substrates and ink, to an absolute minimum. SignUp is the ideal application for digital sign and display shops as well as large format digital press
owners looking at streamlining production and minimizing material waste.
Commercial Printing This zone will feature an extensive set of software solutions
for the commercial print market. Integration between MIS systems, customers,
pre-press, pressroom and finishing departments will be important themes, as
well as efficiency gains and cost savings. Van der Schueren states: ”Demonstrations will show printers how they can boost the efficiency of their operations
with EskoArtwork Pro and Enterprise workflow solutions, which are based on
Odystar and BackStage PDF workflows respectively.” For last minute corrections, the Neo stand-alone PDF editor integrates seamlessly with the Odystar
workflow. FastImpose is used to impose the print sheet, handling standard,
multi-web and asymmetric layouts, as well as multiple sections with different trim
sizes on the same sheet. Superior screening options like Concentric Screening
are available, combining the smoothness of AM with the advantages of FM for
higher saturation, better quality, an increased level of detail, and substantial ink
savings.
Enfocus Prepress specialists can check out the latest versions of the Enfocus PDF pre-flighting, editing and certification tools-a reliable data connection
between content providers and print professionals was never easier. Visitors
can also see the Switch products (originally from Gradual Software, recently
acquired by EskoArtwork) now integrated within the Enfocus portfolio. Using
the Switch solution makes Enfocus products even more efficient by automating
repetitive tasks and connecting with other key graphic arts applications.
Brand Owners A Brand Owners corner will feature tailored demonstrations and

Connect More! – The key to future business growth “The days of computer systems being islands of automation or company departments operating in splendid
isolation are long gone”, states Carsten Knudsen, EskoArtwork President and
CEO. “Successful companies today continuously push the limits of efficiency and
strive to adopt the best operational practices to create value and remain competitive. EskoArtwork’s mission is to help our customers bring together all the
systems, the software and the hardware, people and information assets available to them and effectively connect these into high-performance workflows.
Operator guidance, process automation and supply chain collaboration are the
drivers fueling our innovations.”
EskoArtwork’s “Connect More!” vision is expressed in different ways and dimensions. It starts with integrating more closely the various steps within a single
workflow and linking these to adjacent processes in the value chain, to save
time and eliminate errors. It is about bringing together product design, packaging structure, graphics decoration and print visualization to boost creativity
and packaging brand impact while reducing design and approval overhead. It
includes intelligent interfaces between software and hardware components to
make operations more reliable, repeatable and measurable.
It acknowledges the need to consider legacy data and systems from various
suppliers to maximize the return on past investments. It involves bridging jobs
and processes between traditional printing and converting methods and the digital technologies of the future to ensure continuity and a smooth migration path.
Finally it covers improving in-house communication between departments to
connect the pressroom with sales and accounting, as well as promoting collaboration between brand owner or print buyer, designer, printer/converter and
even logistics parties to guarantee transparent processes and final results that
meet customers’ expectations.
“EskoArtwork has always attached a high value to connectivity when developing its systems and products”, concludes Knudsen. “Being a strong driver and
supporter of open industry standards, we also have engaged in a multitude of
industry partnerships to complement our solutions with components and expertise from other best-in-class companies. Needless to say that this vision of connectivity – whether looked at from a systems technology, global operations or
446
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
end-to-end supply chain perspective – is a reflection of what our thousands of
packaging and printing customers value most in maintaining an ongoing relationship with our company”.
Design, Produce, Manage – all from one source EskoArtwork brings to market integrated solutions for all three of the design, production and management
areas of the packaging and printing supply chain. Additionally it provides communication and integration across these functions as well as with upstream (e.g
CRM and order entry) and downstream (e.g. ERP and palletization) activities.
That makes EskoArtwork a unique source of innovative and value-adding business drivers not only for tradeshops, printers and converters but also for brand
owners, retailers, creative agencies and many other players in the industry.
On the Design side, EskoArtwork innovates with new capabilities for packaging
designers, brand owners and retailers to facilitate the collaboration process beginning from the early creation and ideation phase. Such an approach assures
a smooth and efficient production flow from design through pre-press, printing,
converting and up to the shop shelves.
A highlight at drupa 2008 will be the introduction of the new Studio product line
for the integrated 2D/3D, CAD/graphics design of packaging, with the ground
breaking Studio Toolkit for Flexibles extending such capabilities to the world of
pillow bags, gusseted bags and rectangular stand-up pouches.
Brand owners with a lot of product variants or active in tightly regulated markets – such as pharmaceuticals, liquor and tobacco – will see how designs can
incorporate dynamic content, linked to and automatically updated from secure
databases.
The Enfocus PDF preflighting, editing and certification tools, now complemented
by the SWITCH desktop and workgroup automation products, provide a reliable
data connection between content providers and print professionals.
Covering the Produce angle, EskoArtwork’s expert production tools and knowhow are widely recognized, as illustrated by the many product brands that are
the references in their markets: ArtPro, ArtiosCAD, BackStage, Nexus, PitStop
… to name a few.
At drupa 2008 EskoArtwork will demonstrate its significant progress with the integration between products from the former Esko and Artwork Systems portfolios.

With respect to digital printing for labels and packaging, EskoArtwork brings field
proven solutions for accurate color matching from proof to press – unique in
its ability to manage multi-color process printing applications across traditional
and digital technologies – as well as industry strength variable data capabilities.
EskoArtwork is also the OEM supplier of the digital front end systems for HP
Indigo’s ws4x00 and future ws6000 industrial digital presses.
Last but not least, a new line of high-performance Kongsberg XP tables specifically targeted at short-run digital converting will see its world première. SignUp,
a powerful but easy-to-use layout program for digital sign and display applications, will make the i-XE and i-XL tables even more productive and cost efficient.
Finally, the Manage theme groups a number of developments and realizations
with respect to on-line collaboration, remote proofing and approval, JDF integration, links to MIS and ERP systems… all examples of logical next steps for any
brand owner, converter or printer that needs to optimize productivity, eliminating
errors and streamline processes.
Besides its state-of-the-art products, EskoArtwork also makes available to its
customers a team of professional consultants and systems integration experts
that can analyze, specify, implement, train, launch and support such systems
including custom solutions. Featured at drupa 2008 will be a live demonstration of a real-life integration case, in which EskoArtwork worked together with a
printing press vendor, a finishing equipment supplier and an SAP integrator to
build a full business system for a packaging converter. Furthermore, the next
generation of EskoArtwork’s WebCenter web collaboration platform, now with
expanded project management capabilities, will be presented.
One critical aspect connecting EskoArtwork’s Design, Produce and Manage concept is color management. Through its extensive range of technologies and professional services, grouped under the ”Color Management for Everyone” banner, EskoArtwork deeply embeds color matching and quality assurance into the
entire supply chain, connecting the brand owner or publisher, the designer, the
pre-press shop, and the printer or converter within a single integrated color management workflow. This pragmatic, production strength approach to color management has been recognized through industry partnerships with HP Indigo,
ExxonMobil and others.
“EskoArtwork is truly unique in the industry in connecting the creative, manufacturing and business spheres into one automated and collaborative environment”, summarizes Guido Van der Schueren, Chief Commercial Officer. “No
print buyer, brand owner, publisher, design agency, trade shop, printer, converter, sign maker… looking for greater efficiencies, faster growth, better margins and a more competitive position can afford not to come and see us before
making an investment decision. EskoArtwork has the proven track record as

floor to accommodate the full solutions portfolio of the EskoArtwork group, including products from Enfocus and recently acquired Gradual Software. The
stand design and construction is handled by Dutch international exhibition specialist Hoynck, a reliable partner for EskoArtwork since 2002.

ImageED and ImageFlow
The new image processing system imageED from Anaygraaf is aphantastic tool for automatic optimizing of photographic images. AnygraafŽs aim was not to create a
new PhotoShop, but a new system that can be operated
be non professionals. ImageED is directed to newpaper
depts, magazines and katalog production – everywhere
you need quick quality improvements without manual or artistic work.
Product Details
ImageFlow is also a very new development, that can completely hide the CMYK
image format from the production lines. Concern presettings the CMYK images
are produced in background with ICC profiles and linked to the pages for the
output process. The editors or page make up staff never have to care for CMYK,
they only work with RGB images – the only format to store and manage.
The guilloches are vintage design elements that were frequently used for anticounterfeiting security purposes on banknotes, passports, checks and certificates during the past two hundred years. As the times changed and digital copy
and printing technologies perfected, guilloches no longer presented sufficient
security measures that could prevent forging and counterfeiting of valuable papers. Today the main part of security technology lies in the special paper or
tricky inks the designs are printed upon or with.
01.1090
Excentro is a simple but advanced tool that can create guilloche designs like
backgrounds, borders or rosettes.
Still, it is too early to say that the days of guilloche designs are over. They can still
be used to prevent the counterfeiting of products that do not require the highest
level of security (i.e. theater tickets, diplomas or gift certificates). Or, they can
just be used to decorate and add some aesthetic value to a product giving the
‘money-like’ look and value.

Excentro was originally started in the early 90’s as a solution for the emerging Russian security printing market. New promising economy situations asked
for a simple, yet not very expensive solution that runs on an industry standard
graphic arts platform and can produce the sort of patterns similar to what could
be done on mechanical guilloche devices employed by government banknote
printing plants. Since then it went through several major updates and features

schnell landen sie im Papierkorb. Angeforderte Dokumente wie Transaktionsdokumente, die für den Empfänger relevante Informationen enthalten, haben
dagegen den Vorteil, dass ihnen die Aufmerksamkeit des Empfängers sicher
ist. Befürworter von Transpromo weisen zudem darauf hin, dass Kunden ihre
Transaktionsdokumente wie Rechnungen und Kontoauszüge nicht nur öffnen,
sondern auch genau lesen und aufbewahren. Daher ist es wahrscheinlich,
dass Begleitmaterial und zusätzliche Werbeinformationen ebenfalls beachtet
werden. Genau das will Transpromo liefern – gezielte Werbebotschaften, die
Empfängern willkommen sind, und die ihren Geschmack und ihre Interessen
widerspiegeln. Damit die Umstellung von reinen Tranksaktions- zu TranspromoDokumenten ein Erfolg wird, müssen jedoch bestimmte Anforderungen erfüllt
sein. Wenn Transpromo effektiv eingesetzt wird, führen die Zeit- und Geldinvestitionen letztlich zu Verkaufssteigerungen, die das gesamte Geschäftsergebnis der Bank oder des Geldinstituts verbessern.

Transpromo – mehr als nur ein Modewort Von
Christian Gericke, Group Manager Central & East
EMEA, Exstream Software von HP
„Transpromo“ ist im Geschäftsleben zurzeit eines der beliebtesten Modewörter,
von dem in den kommenden Monaten mit Sicherheit noch mehr zu hören sein
wird. Der Begriff steht für „transactional promotion“ und ist ein neues Schlagwort für ein Konzept, das in letzter Zeit zwar heiss diskutiert wird, aber eigentlich
nicht neu ist. Hinter „Transpromo“ steckt die Kombination regulärer Transaktionsdokumente eines Unternehmens – wie etwa Monatsabrechnungen oder
Kontoauszüge – mit Werbebotschaften. Schon seit Jahren füllen manche Kreditkartenunternehmen die Leerräume auf ihren Kontoauszügen mit Hinweisen zu
Produkten und Dienstleistungen. Die hierfür benötigte Software und Drucktechnik sind nicht erst seit gestern erhältlich. Wenn Transpromo also nichts Neues
ist, weshalb dann die grosse Aufregung? Vielleicht deshalb, weil allmählich
klar wird, welches Potenzial Transpromo birgt – wenn dieses Instrument effektiv
eingesetzt wird.
Der kleine Unterschied ganz gross Auch Spam-E-Mails bzw. Wurfsendungen
enthalten Werbung – allerdings wurde diese weder angefordert noch sind die
darin enthaltenen Informationen für den Empfänger relevant. Dementsprechend
457
Transpromo für Anfänger Die einfachste Art einer Transpromo-Applikation besteht
darin, einem regulären Kontoauszug diverse Marketingbotschaften beizulegen
bzw. diese direkt auf den Kontoauszug zu drucken. Das bedeutet zum Beispiel,
dass auf einem Girokontoauszug für niedrige Hypothekenzinsen geworben wird.
Schade ist nur, dass bei dieser undifferenzierten Methode alle angesprochen
werden, selbst wenn sie ihre Immobilie vielleicht erst vor zwei Wochen neu
finanziert haben. Diese Taktik mag einfach zu implementieren sein, ist letztendlich aber wenig effizient, da sie nicht auf die spezifischen Interessen des
Empfängers zugeschnitten ist.
Transpromo für Fortgeschrittene Ein effektives Transpromo-Konzept ist komplexer, zielgerichteter und nicht ganz so einfach umzusetzen – mit der richtigen
Technologie aber auch nicht so schwierig, wie man glauben könnte. Bei einem
solchen Konzept werden Daten aus den diversen Informationsquellen eines Unternehmens zusammengeführt, z.B. aus dem CRM-System und den Marketingund Vertriebsquellen. Dabei sollten auch die Kundenkredithistorie und Muttersprache berücksichtigt werden. Ein Verknüpfen all dieser Informationen mittels der richtigen Technologie ermöglicht dem Marketing-Mitarbeiter, Geschäftsregeln zu erstellen, die automatisieren, welche Informationen für welche Zielgruppe relevant sind. Ein Beispiel: Ein Unternehmen sorgt im ersten Schritt
dafür, dass zum Beispiel ein Angebot für einen zinsreichen Sparvertrag nur an
solche Kunden geschickt wird, die sehr viel Geld auf ihrem Girokonto haben.
Oder eine Bank bietet nur solchen Kunden gute Kredite an, die in den letzten
Jahren bei der Bank besondere Sicherheiten erworben haben.
Transpromo für Profis Ein weiteres entscheidendes Detail, auf das man achten
sollte, ist die Möglichkeit, in einer Datenbank zu speichern, ob ein Kunde reagiert
hat oder nicht. So lässt sich nicht nur die Effektivität der Transpromo-Kampagne
messen – was überaus wichtig ist –, sondern es ermöglicht auch, die Resonanz
458
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
(bzw. deren Ausbleiben) auf Mitteilungen als Auslöser für nachfolgende Aktionen zu nutzen. So kann zum Beispiel ein Bankkunde in einem Mailing gefragt
werden, ob er an näheren Informationen über Kreditkarten oder andere Bankdienstleistungen interessiert ist. Fällt die Antwort positiv aus, löst dies automatisch
das zweite Mailing mit einem auszufüllenden Formular aus oder der Kunde wird
zur entsprechenden Seite auf der Website der Bank geführt. Mit jeder weiteren
Kontaktaufnahme und der darauf folgenden (oder ausbleibenden) Reaktion erfährt die Bank mehr über den Kunden für eventuell folgende Werbemassnahmen.
Auf die richtige Transpromo-Software kommt es an Studien belegen, dass 64
Prozent der Unternehmen ihre Kundendaten nicht strategisch nutzen. Dabei
können sie je nachdem, wie gezielt sie ihre Mitteilungen an den einzelnen Kunden richten, eine bis zu zwanzigmal höhere Resonanz erzielen als mit einer
nicht personalisierten Mitteilung. Dies erfordert den Zugriff auf Informationen
aus mehreren unterschiedlichen – und häufig voneinander getrennten – Quellen
sowie die Fähigkeit, die Daten entsprechend bestimmter Regeln oder Kriterien
zu analysieren und dann die Angebote den passenden Empfängern zuzuordnen. All das muss im Rahmen immer kürzerer Markteinführungszeiten und
Werbezyklen bewerkstelligt werden. Software (und auch Hardware) für ein
so anspruchsvolles und Erfolg versprechendes Transpromo-Konzept gibt es
bereits. Sie ist seit fast zehn Jahren weltweit erfolgreich am Markt. Für wen
Transpromo allerdings noch völliges Neuland ist, der sollte in jedem Fall eine
Software wählen, die als universelle Plattform Dateneingaben in jedem Format akzeptiert und Ausgaben jeglicher Art produzieren kann. Sie muss flexibel
genug sein, um eine Auswahl gezielter, relevanter Marketingbotschaften einschliesslich Grafiken erzeugen zu können. Darüber hinaus muss sie anwenderfreundlich und so flexibel sein, dass jeder Mitarbeiter unternehmensweit kundenspezifische Mitteilungen generieren kann. Zudem muss die Lösung diese
gezielten Mitteilungen nach anwenderspezifischen Regeln priorisieren können,
um sicherzustellen, dass die wichtigsten Botschaften im verfügbaren Leerraum
des Dokuments stehen.
Transpromo kennt keine technischen Grenzen Transpromo ist dabei keineswegs
auf Druckmedien beschränkt. Mit der richtigen Technologie können MarketingMitarbeiter auch interaktive oder Online-Applikationen erstellen. Moderne digitale Drucker produzieren sowohl Schwarzweiss- als auch Farbbilder in bester
Fotoqualität zügiger und preiswerter denn je. Zudem kann jede Seite andere Schriften und Bilder enthalten. Am besten wählt man eine Software, die
das Einfügen kundenspezifischer Farbgrafiken wie Tabellen und Diagramme
entsprechend den individuellen Daten einzelner Kunden gestattet, die auf die
Schnelle zusammengestellt und dann in Farbe und auf jedem Medium ausgegeben werden können. Es sollte zudem möglich sein, die zum Drucken entwickelten Image-Dateien auch per E-Mail versenden zu können.
459
Kosteneinsparungen leicht gemacht Die Investitionen in eine solche professionelle Software amortisieren sich schnell. Die bisherige Variante, eine schwarzweiss gedruckte Rechnung oder einen Brief gemeinsam mit einem zusätzlich
gedruckten aufwändigen Werbeflyer in einem Umschlag zusammenzuführen, ist
in den meisten Fällen weit teurer als der vollfarbige Transpromo-Druck. Denn
zahlreiche Faktoren führen dazu, dass mit Transpromo schnell Kosten gespart werden können. Ganz wesentlich ist beispielsweise, dass mit Hilfe eines
professionellen Output-Managements alle Bestandteile einer Sendung zusammen produziert werden: In einem voll automatisierten Prozess führt die Software sämtliche relevante Daten aus unterschiedlichen Informationsquellen in
einem Dokument zusammen. Der gesamte Kostenblock, den man für die Produktion der Extra-Mailings und -Flyer ansetzen müsste, entfällt. Direkt an den
Druck des Transpromo-Dokuments kann sich dann bereits die Kuvertierung anschliessen. So entfallen alle kostenintensiven Schritte, die im herkömmlichen
Verfahren nach dem Druck vorgenommen werden müssten, wie zum Beispiel
das Sortieren der Sendungen oder das aufwändige Zusteuern der Beilagen.
Genau diese Schritte sind es, die die Produktion solcher Sendungen teuer
machen – gleich, ob Menschen oder Spezialmaschinen diese Aufgaben erledigen. Ausserdem lässt sich beim Versand der Dokumente Porto sparen: Wenn
die Weissflächen eines Transaktionsdokuments mit einer Werbebotschaft gefüllt
werden, müssen letztendlich auch weniger Seiten versendet werden und damit
werden die Sendungen leichter. Allein durch diese Portoersparnis, die sich mit
Hilfe der entsprechenden Software erzielen lässt, können Unternehmen einen
grossen Teil des Marketing- bzw. Produktionsbudgets an anderer Stelle verwenden. Neben dem besseren Marketingeffekt eines Transpromo-Dokuments und
der höheren Akzeptanz solcher Dokumente beim Empfänger sind es also auch
handfeste Kostenargumente, die für eine sinnvolle Kombination von Transaktionsdokumenten und Werbebotschaften sprechen.
Fazit: Wer seinen Kunden relevante, effektive und hochgradig personalisierte
Anschreiben schickt, zeigt, dass er die Wünsche seiner Kunden kennt und alles
daran setzt, diese zu erfüllen. Verfügt man über die entsprechenden Daten, ist
man in der Lage, ein leistungsfähiges Transpromo-Konzept umzusetzen. Wer
dann noch über die Software verfügt, die seinem Geschäftsmodell gegenwärtig
am besten gerecht wird, schafft die Basis für individuelle Angebote in der Zukunft
und kann gleichzeitig erheblich Kosten einsparen.

Error in BRAILLE !
And who is liable for damages?
In future it will be mandatory to provide information about
package contents in Braille, and not only on pharmaceutical
packaging. But how shall the packaging manufacturer track down
the notorious “printer’s devil”? It’s hard enough to recognize
errors in plain type so how much more difficult is it to do this with
Braille! But everyone active in this field knows how important it is
to be able to check texts and ensure they are error-free.
With its FAG BrailleScan, FAG Graphic Systems of Switzerland
provides an automatic control system that is to be presented to
the international trade public for the first time at drupa 2008. The
device reads Braille texts with a maximum size of 40 x 120 mm at
a maximum speed of 120 m/min. Based on a processing time of
200 m/sec. around 5 labels (or similar products) can be

FIFE EXPANDS RANGE OF SENSORS FOR
DEMANDING, HIGH CHANGEOVER APPLICATIONS
New sensing technologies increase accuracy and efficiency for converters who
need to run multiple webs and a variety of materials.
Kelkheim, Germany – Fife, the worldwide leader of web guiding systems, releases another first in sensor technology for web guiding with the SE-45 TruWide
sensor; giving converters the ability to run multiple webs and a variety of materials without time-consuming setup changes or sensor repositioning. The Fife
SE-45 TruWide will be on display in Hall 15/B38 at DRUPA 2008.
The SE-45 TruWide sensor complements an existing family of sensors for
varying web widths, while using new technology to improve accuracy, reduce
changeover time and simplify maintenance. Ultrasonic sensing ‘nodes’ are active at all times throughout the entire width of the sensing area, eliminating the
need to reposition the sensor between runs and optimizing web alignment in
applications with high instances of web width variations.
Many of our customers must maintain web alignment on multiple, changing web
widths at the highest levels of accuracy, and Fife has built a family of products
to choose from. The SE-45 TruWide utilizes the latest technology to maintain
alignment, measure web width, and improve efficiency.
Fife’s complete family of sensors and positioners to accommodate a variety of
materials and variations in web width started over 40 years ago with the first sensor to span the whole width of the web, the SE-4000. In the 1990’s, the analog
DAC-003 sensor simplified routine maintenance, and in 2002, the digital DAC004 Diode Array Camera added web width measurement. Coupled with a full
line of sensor positioners, Fife wide-band sensors are a simple way to increase
accuracy in web alignment. The newest addition to the family, SE-45 TruWide
uses the latest technology to improve accuracy, simplify maintenance, provide
web width measurement and reduce cost. To learn more about the TruWide
Sensor, visit www.fife.eu.

MAGPOWR INTRODUCES SMART BRAKE
Pneumatic brake indicates status to simplify maintenance and eliminate surprises.
Kelkheim, Germany - MAGPOWR, a leader in the design and engineering of
tension control products for the web handling industry, will display the Smart
Brake, a pneumatic brake that has been re-designed to improve efficiency and
471
eliminate surprises on the unwind, in Hall 15/B38 at DRUPA 2008.
Smart Brake indicates common problems before it is too late, helping operators
avoid disasters. Pad wear indicators call attention to brake pads only when they
need to be changed, eliminating the common practice of changing all brake pads
at regular intervals, regardless of wear. Heat detection features identify signs of
overheating, and automatically activate fans to dissipate heat, without operator
intervention.
Redesigned brake components enhance operator safety and simplify maintenance. The guard design helps to circulate and dissipate heat, while allowing
easy access to brake pads, where change-outs can be made without tools.
MAGPOWR introduced Magnetic Particle clutches and brakes to the web converting industry in 1967. Today, along with Fife (guiding and inspection) and
Tidland (slitting and winding), they are part of the Maxcess International family
of companies that represent technology leadership and innovation to converters,
packaging facilities, paper mills, and all applications in between.

TIDLAND IMPROVES LINE OF ERGONOMIC SHAFTS
New XPRO10 coated shaft improves safety, expands selection of UltrashaftTM
Carbon Fiber Shafts.
Kelkheim —Tidland, a worldwide leader in winding and slitting products, will introduce the Ultrashaft XPRO10 in Hall 15/B38 at DRUPA 2008. This tough,
lightweight carbon fiber shaft eliminates safety risks commonly associated with
sleeved or unsleeved shaft models.
XPRO10 represents a significant improvement in how carbon fiber technology
is applied to converting applications. Unlike rigid sleeves that can crack under
high load cycles, this proprietary coating flexes with the shaft, while protecting
the carbon fiber tube from core wear, cutting tools, and wear from normal shaft
and roll handling.
Our customers continue to respond to the ergonomic and safety risks in their operations and want solutions without compromising function. XPRO10 reduces
safety concerns, improves operator confidence in their tools and coupled with
our expanded offering, providing them with more specific and cost-effective ergonomic solutions.
Tidland is the industry leader in slitting and winding equipment for the web processing industry. Established in 1951 with the invention of the air shaft, Tidland
has demonstrated over 50 years of continuous improvement while delivering
consistent new product designs to the market. As a company of Maxcess In-

TIDLAND UNVEILS FULL ELECTRONIC KNIFEHOLDER
The industry’s first all-electronic knifeholder increases accuracy and consistency by eliminating guesswork.
Kelkheim – Tidland, a leader in the design and engineering of slitting and winding products for the web handling industry, will display the industry’s first allelectronic knifeholder, eliminating guesswork in knifeholder setup and increasing blade life, slitting accuracy and efficiency in Hall 15/B38 at DRUPA 2008.
The e-Knifeholder can self-calibrate to optimize critical blade geometry during
setup, blade overlap and side-force. By ensuring the proper adjustments during
setup, blade wear is reduced and changes are required less often, translating to
less downtime and reduced operating costs. Consistent slit quality is ensured
as side-force and blade overlap are maintained through multiple shifts, making
blade life easy to track and reducing the time and frequency of maintenance.
Settings are entered via an easy-to-use interface, providing remote control of the
knifeholders to reduce hands-on time during the setup and run process. The eKnifeholder also reduces the amount of training needed for an operator to be
able to setup knives properly and empowers the operator to eliminate inconsistencies in set-up across multiple knifeholders.
Tidland is the industry leader in slitting and winding equipment for the web processing industry. Established in 1951 with the invention of the air shaft, Tidland
has demonstrated over 50 years of continuous improvement while delivering

typical objects such as images, graphics and text representing different problem categories categories (spot colours, overprints, transparencies, etc.), which
reflect nowadays workflow at its best. Having the goal of mimicking the daily
challenges as closely as possible, special control elements such as the Ghent
Working Group test elements will be used.
It is the task of the web2proof partners in the workflow management arena,
to correct and prepare the customised PDF files towards a ”flattened and
CMYKonly” print ready PDF. The output intend will be FOGRA39, i.e. offset
printing on gloss or matt coated paper (screen ruling according to 60/cm). The
processed file is then available for output to all other web2proof partners.

difference in the price of the current Media Wedge V3.0.
The new colour fields of the ‘Media Wedge CMYK V3.0 Proof’ display an increased sensitivity in the highlights and shadows. Version 3.0 is completely
compatible with the versions 2.X, i.e. all 46 colour fields of the existing Media
Wedge are part of Version 3.0. The evaluation of Version 3.0 with the additional colour fields corresponds to the tolerances as have been specified in ISO
12647-7 and in the Media Standard Print.
23.04.2008 Neuer Ugra/Fogra-Medienkeil
The following fields have been added:
A] Fields in the highlights area [10 % and 20 % tonal value] – Columns 4, 5, 9, 10,

colour overprinting on black – Column 22 D] Fields in the shadow areas [L≤ 35]
– Columns 23, 24
The target values are available to all licence partners of Fogra in their corresponding evaluation programmes, due to which an additional file [MKPruef.xls
up to now] with the new target values is not separately necessary. At the time
of selecting measurement devices and proofing systems, users of the Media
Wedge should make sure that these support the new Media Wedge and that
they display standard compliant CIELAB measurement values [without polarising filter and without UV cut filter]. If the measurement devices do not comply
with these specifications and work with UV cut filter for example, then the characterisation data provided by Fogra [e.g. FOGRA39] cannot be used as target
values without a previous correction.
Standard version and file format
In the future, the standard package of the Media Wedge consists of only two
layout versions supplied as a combination. Thus it is possible for the user to
check the entire process chain at any time. This is recommended, when new
user programmes, new programme versions are used or modifications in the
procedures/operations have been made. Testing of the workflow as well as of the
proofing system is necessary for a secure and colour-reliable output in order to
assure that the image content undergoes the same colour transformation as the
Media Wedge. A test of the output systems alone is not enough to consistently
avoid problem cases.
Order information
The price of the Media Wedge CMYK V3.0 is EUR 453.00 [Fogra members
get 30 % discount, i.e. member price EUR 317.00], shipping and VAT extra.

Der Ugra/Fogra-Medienkeil CMYK ist heute das weltweit anerkannte Kontrollmittel für den farbverbindlichen Prüfdruck und wird in der bisherigen zweizeiligen Ausführung seit über 10 Jahren eingesetzt. Im Laufe des Jahres 2008 wird
es neue Versionen sämtlicher digitaler Fogra-Kontrollmittel geben. Der Medienkeil wurde als erstes Kontrollmittel überarbeitet und wird ab Mai als Version
3.0 ausgeliefert.
Die neuen Farbfelder des „Medienkeils CMYK V3.0 Proof” bringen eine erhöhte
Empfindlichkeit im Lichter- und Tiefenbereich. Die Version 3.0 ist vollständig
kompatibel mit den Versionen 2.X, d. h. alle 46 Farbfelder des bisherigen
Medienkeils sind in der Version 3.0 enthalten. Die Auswertung der Version
3.0 mit den zusätzlichen Farbfeldern entspricht den Toleranzen, wie sie in ISO
12647-7 und im MedienStandard Druck vorgegeben sind. Folgende Felder sind
neu hinzugekommen: A) Felder im Lichterbereich (10 %- und 20 %-Tonwert)
– Spalte 4, 5, 9, 10, 14, 15 B) Zweite Graufeldbedingung – Felder C1 bis C5
C) Buntfarbenüberdruck auf Schwarz – Spalte 22 D) Felder im Tiefenbereich
(L≤ 35) – Spalte 23, 24 Allen Lizenzpartnern der Fogra stehen die Zielwerte
in deren jeweiligen Auswertungsprogrammen zur Verfügung, weswegen eine
zusätzliche Datei (bisher die MKPruef.xls) mit den neuen Zielwerten nicht gesondert notwendig ist. Anwender des Medienkeils sollten bei der Auswahl von
Messgeräten und Prüfdrucksystemen darauf achten, dass diese den neuen Medienkeil unterstützen und normkonforme CIELAB-Messwerte (ohne Polfilter und
ohne UV-Cut-Filter) anzeigen. Sollten Messgeräte diese Vorgaben nicht einhalten und beispielsweise mit UV-Cut-Filter arbeiten, so können die von der Fogra
bereitgestellten Charakterisierungsdaten (z. B. FOGRA39) nicht ohne vorherige
Korrektur als Zielwerte verwendet werden.
Standardversion und Dateiformate Das Standard-Paket des Medienkeils besteht
zukünftig nur noch aus zwei in Kombination ausgelieferten Layout-Versionen.
Hiermit ist es dem Anwender jederzeit möglich, die gesamte Prozesskette zu
überprüfen. Dies wird immer empfohlen, wenn neue Anwendungsprogramme,
neue Programmversionen oder andere Veränderungen in den Abläufen vorgenommen werden. Für eine sichere und farbverbindliche Ausgabe von Prüfdrucken
und die Übereinstimmung der Bildinhalte mit den Messwerten des Medienkeils
ist immer eine Prüfung sowohl der Arbeitsabläufe wie auch des Prüfdrucksystems notwendig. Eine Prüfung der Ausgabesysteme allein ist nicht ausreichend,
um Problemfälle konsequent zu vermeiden.

CO-RES Screening (Common Resolution Screening)
Co-Res Screening is a grid technology (AM), which achieves relatively high grid
widths in excellent quality with low resolution. This creates less data volume
with fast RIP runs and short exposure times. A 70 grid can, e.g. be exposed at
1,200 dpi. In additional fine grids (120s) can be exposed at a resolution of 2,400
dpi, so that the visual effect of an FM-grid is created on the print.
