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 engraved cells (Ceramic cylinder), • hachures, • roll embossed cells, • Intaglio and
• flexo print plates.
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
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.

2002: GAA Award and Flexo Application
GAA’s Golden Cylinder Award for Supplier Innovation for the DIGRA Interfaces
HI2001, HI2002 (for HelioKlischographs) and OI2001 (for Ohio Engraving Machines serie 500-700)
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

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.

Apex Group of Companies’ new developments at
Drupa
Genetic Transfer Technology: this development is used for manufacturing UniCorr®, UniFlex® and UniCoat® metering rolls. It effects the transfer of ink in a
superior way to any traditional roll, due to a revolutionary roll surface. Neither
the surface material (formerly pure ceramic), or the metering structure (formerly
determined in l/cm) can be compared with any current anilox technology.
UniFli® (Uni- Fast Light Innovative) is the new standard for anilox rolls in the
narrow web industry. This special lightweight anilox roll has a body construction
of anodyzed aluminium, as durable and accurate as steel for one-way deliveries
only, available against an attractive transparent price, using an efficient stock
programme for fast deliveries.
The latest technology for identification of anilox rolls, is the RFID carrier, where
anilox rolls will be fitted with a micro-chip on which relevant data will be stored.

On a regular basis Apex organizes seminars with a highly technical focus. At

Product Overview
Der Firmengründer Gerhard W. Becka ist gelernter Maschinenschlosser. Er hat
vor Beginn seiner Selbstständigkeit 1974, sieben Jahre in der Zylindermontage
bei einem er größten Druckmaschinenhersteller der Welt, den Zylinderbau und
deren Funktionsweise von Grund auf gelernt.
Ohne Demontage, unter Anwendung eines sogenannten badlosen GalvanikSpezialverfahrens, wird duch uns vor Ort repariert. Dabei wird Kupfer als elektronisch abgeschiedenes Füllmaterial auf die beschädigten Bereiche des Druckzylinders aufgetragen, egalisiert und letztendlich mit einer Schicht aus einer
Nickel-Kobalt-Legierung bedeckt.
Danach ist die Druckwalze wieder voll einsatzfähig. Nahezu alle Versicherungsgesellschaften kontaktieren uns, wenn es um die schnelle und dauerhafte Zylinderreperatur von Druckmaschinen geht.
Neben der fachlichen Kompetenz, die unserem Unternehmen immer wieder
bescheinigt wird, sind Mobilität und Flexibilität unsere großen Stärken. Die
Firma Becka, hat ständig fünf, an Wochenenden bis zu sieben Monteure im
Einsatz.
Wir haben uns mit unserem ”Eil-Service” für die Reperatur von Druckmaschinen
einen Namen gemacht, der weit über die Landesgrenzen hinaus bekannt ist.
Becka Eilservice für Druckmaschinen GmbH
Unsere Hilfe wird nicht nur in Deutschland und den europäischen Ländern geschätzt,
sondern ach in Südamerika, Nord- und Südafrika sowie in Asien.
Für die rund 1000 Zylinderreperaturen, von kleinformatigen bis zu großformatigen Bogen- und Rollenoffsetmaschinen, die jährlich ausgeführt werden, übernehmen
wir selbstverständlich eine volle Maß- und Haltbarkeitsgarantie.
Data processing services
Schäden an Zylindern gehören zu den unangenehmsten Begleiterscheinungen
des Druckalltags. Ihre Ursachen sind vielfältig. Inbusschlüssel, Schraubenzieher, Kugellagerkugeln, Farbspachteln etc. fallen in die Maschine verursachen
einen beträchtlichen Schaden. Stillstandzeiten von vier bis acht Wochen, die bei
Erneuerung etstehen würden, kann sich heute niemand mehr leisten. Abhilfe
schafft eine fachgerechte Reperatur, die einen defekten Zylinder, der Kerben,
Riefen bzw. Druckstellen aufweist, an Ort und Stelle instandsetzt. Unser Unternehmen in Mühlheim-Lämmerspiel hat sich auf diesem Gebiet spezialisiert.
Herr Becka hat das Verfahren entwickelt, Gegendruck-, Platten- und Gummituchzylinder, Kalanderwalzen, Farbverreibewalze und dergleichen mit einer Oberflächenbeschichtung für eine dauerhafte Hochleistung zu veredeln.

„Gewinn mit Sicherheit“
unter diesem Motto steht die Präsenz der Berufsgenossenschaft Druck und
Papierverarbeitung (BG) auf der Drupa 2008
Die BG zeigt aktuelle Fachinformationen rund um das Thema Arbeits- und
Gesundheitsschutz. Das Spektrum reicht von neuen Lösungen bei der Zugangssicherung von Gefahrbereichen über Entwicklungen bei den Prüfgebieten
der BG bis hin zum Hautschutz.

„Sicherheit ohne Schloss und Riegel“
Anhand zweier Praxisbeispiele werden auf dem Stand neuartige Überwachungssysteme mit mehr Flexibilität und teilweise
neuer Technologie zur Absicherung von Gefahrbereichen vorgestellt:
durch eine Druckerei und lösen dabei spannende Aufgaben rund um den
Hautschutz. Für vertiefte Informationen steht ein Terminal mit dem Modul
„Hand- und Hautschutz“ der BG-Software BASIS (Branchen- und ArbeitsschutzInformationssystem) zur Verfügung. Es ermöglicht die rasche und komfortable
Suche nach geeigneten Schutzhandschuhen sowie Hand- und Hautschutzmitteln, die in Druckereien und Papier verarbeitenden Betrieben eingesetzt werden
können.
Weitere Themen
Ein Laserscanner überwacht den automatischen Papierrollentransport in einen gefährlichen Produktionsbereich mittels variabler, vorprogrammierter Schutzfelder. Durch zeitgerechte Umschaltung auf ein
Schutzfeld, das die gerade einzuschleusende Rolle ausspart, wird im Gegensatz
zum konventionellen „Muting“ verhindert, dass sich gleichzeitig neben der Rolle
eine Person in den Gefahrbereich „hineinmogeln“ kann.
Am Beispiel einer Tampondruckmaschine wird gezeigt, wie zukünftig Handarbeitsplätze mit Hilfe eines optischen Kamerasystems auf einfache Art und Weise
gegen Eingriff in Gefahrstellen gesichert werden können. Diese Technologie
wird erstmals als berührungslos wirkende Schutzeinrichtung eingesetzt.
Auf dem BG-Stand werden auch der Präventionspreis und seine ersten zehn
Preisträger präsentiert. Der Preis wird in diesem Jahr erstmals verliehen und
soll das besondere Engagement der Mitgliedsbetriebe für den Arbeits- und
Gesundheitsschutz würdigen, gute Ideen in der Branche bekannt machen und
zur Nachahmung anregen.
Neben den technischen Themen informiert die Berufsgenossenschaft an ihrem
Stand über Fragen zum Versicherungsschutz sowie zu Haftungsfragen bei Arbeitsunfällen und Berufskrankheiten.
Virtual Reality im Dienste des Hautschutzes. Mit Datenhandschuh und 3-DBrille navigiert man durch eine virtuelle Druckerei um Gefahren zu beseitigen.
Zu sehen auf der Drupa 2008 am Stand der Berufsgenossenschaft Druck und
Papierverarbeitung (Halle 7.2, Stand B 23).
Vertrauen ist gut, Prüfung ist besser
Exemplarisch wird die Arbeit der Prüf- und Zertifizierungsstelle der BG vorgestellt.
Erstmalig wird auf der drupa eine Antwort auf die Problematik „verkeimtes
Feuchtwasser“ an Zeitungsrotationen gegeben. Hier kommt ein Biozid zum Einsatz, welches bereits seit langem im Krankenhausbereich eingesetzt wird. Erste
Langzeitversuche zeigen eine deutliche Verlängerung der Reinigungszyklen am
Feuchtwasserkreislauf bei gleichzeitiger Reduzierung der gesundheitlichen Belastung der Beschäftigten.
Das Thema „richtige Luftfeuchte“ für Mensch und Produktionsprozess erlangt
nicht nur in der grafischen Branche immer mehr Beachtung. Die BG unterstützt
diese positive Entwicklung durch Fachinformationen für Planer und Anwender
sowie durch die Prüfung und Zertifizierung von Luftbefeuchtungssystemen.

Company News
Der Meisterbrief ist ein Qualitäts- und Gütesiegel für Produkte und Leistungen des Siebdrucker-Handwerks. Mit dem Meisterbrief weisen Siebdrucker
gegenüber ihren Kunden aus, dass sie können, was sie anbieten und ihr Handwerk verstehen. So setzen sie sich gegenüber unqualifizierten Mitbewerbern ab.
Neben der fachlichen Qualifikation weisen den Meister aber auch fundierte
Kenntnisse in Betriebsführung, Kalkulation, Mitarbeiterführung, Ausbildung und
Qualitätsmanagement aus.
Daher bietet die BSH in Kooperation mit der Handwerkskammer Rhein/Main im

CONVERTER.IT: THE PORTAL by CIESSEGI
DEDICATED TO THE CONVERTING WORLD!
On occasion of Drupa 2008, Ciessegi Editrice are pleased to invite you to visit
their stand D 39 in Hall 7.2 to introduce you the new portal www.converter.it All
those who attend the presentation, will receive a gift commemorating the 10th
year of activity of the Publishing House managed by the Giardinis
When we started thinking of this portal, without imagining its graphic aspect or
its potentials, our idea was to create a tool capable of enhancing the customers
of our magazines by providing them with the same promotional means as those
being offered by printing. “Just 5 months have gone by since we published
our web site on-line, but today converter.it has already become a daily point
of reference for hundreds of players of the sector. The key to this success is
based, on the one hand, on the interest in this sector, which is very dynamic,
and, on the other hand, on the strong determination to give a useful tool for the
big customer portfolio which is steadily growing”, explains Davide Benzi, web
administrator of converter.it, and owner of the agency that has been developing the portal. “Converter.it can meet simply and briefly the requirements of
our sector, since it combines promotion, visibility and traceability, in which the
major companies of our sector have been starting to invest for some months.
Now the web site of our two magazines, which, like newspapers, are brought
up to date daily, or whenever it is necessary, has got its own configuration, thus
becoming the third real point of reference for enterprises as well as for the magazines “Converter-Flessibili-Carta- Cartone” and “Converter & Cartotecnica”. The
portal provides a steady updating about open houses, successes, installations,
innovations and comprehensive news concerning the sectors related to printing and converting. The web site is divided into “Flessibil-Carta-Cartone” and
“Cartotecnica” , the two compartments of competence of our magazines, and it
provides services about advertising banners related to company web sites, text
fields being bought to maintain news and presentations, as well as an area dedicated to companies according to their category and kind of products. These
text fields can be brought up to date and managed directly by the enterprises,
which are yearly registered, by means of a login and a personal password. The
website is registered on all worldwide research motors with a considerable number of English and Italian words related to the products of the sector. Thanks to
this investment, lots of references related to Converter, can appear in the first
Google positions, thus being visible in the big networking, which, of course, results in the increase of visits and consultations by internet navigators all over
the world. Today, converter.it is visited by 38% of Italian companies, 13% of
American companies and 26% of other countries’enterprises. Lately, it is be-
42

ing visited even by enterprises from Thailand, Brazil, Australia, Iran and Russia.
The solutions suggested in the portal are combined to packages including solutions being published in the magazines. All this is done according to a policy
based on a gradual company growth, resulting from reasonable and dedicated
investments which, at the same time, can considerably help the development of
a brand image. This what has happened to some enterprises that, within just
a few months, have seen an increase consultations on their web sites linked to
the banners of converter.it. On occasion of Drupa 2008, newsletters will be sent
concerning issues, news, and events of our sectors. “We will also present important novelties at Drupa”, says Stefano Giardini, publisher of Converter. “We
are used to publish our advertisers’novelties, and we’ll continue to do so, starting from this issue of Converter. This time, however, we’ll take advantage of the
most important worldwide exhibition, Drupa, in order to promote our new portal converter.it, which already represents for many companies a helpful working
instrument and a way to be steadily up-to-date about the latest novelties of our
sectors. We’ll also be present at the fair in our stand D39 in Hall 7.2, where we’ll
launch our publishing proposal “Italian Technology at Drupa” developed in collaboration with the magazine Graphicus (Alberto Greco Editore). It will deal with
some of the major Italian companies supplying printing and converting systems.
I take the opportunity to invite all of you to visit our stand, where we will introduce
our portal in a customized way. Moreover, besides finding our magazines along
with “Italian Technology at Drupa”, you will also receive a gift commemorating
our 10th year of publishing activity under my management”, concludes Mr. Giardini. For further information about the portal, please contact Davide Benzi at

DID-Award für innovative Druckweiterverarbeitung
2008
Ein Großteil der Wertschöpfung bei einem Druckerzeugnis erfolgt in der Druckweiterverarbeitung. Durch die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten der industriellen Druckweiterverarbeitung bieten sich schier unbegrenzte Möglichkeiten, die Attraktivität und die Wertschöpfung von Druckprodukten zu erhöhen.
Das Deutsche Institut Druck E.V. (DID) schreibt zum nunmehr dritten Mal den
„DID-Award für innovative Druckweiterverarbeitung“ aus, mit dem Ziel, besonders innovative Möglichkeiten der industriellen Druckweiterverarbeitung hervorzuheben und auszuzeichnen.
Teilnahmeberechtigt am DID-Award sind Weiterverarbeitungsunternehmen, Druckereien, Agenturen, Verlage oder Vorstufenbetriebe mit Firmensitz oder Niederlassung in Deutschland. Einsendeschluss ist der 19. Mai 2008. Der DID-Award
wird in Zusammenarbeit mit dem „Innovationspreis der Deutschen Druckindustrie“ durchgeführt. Die feierliche Verleihung des DID-Awards findet am 16. Oktober 2008 in Frankfurt/Main statt.
Nähere Einzelheiten zum DID-Award finden Sie unter http://www.did-award.de.

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.

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,

6to5-Scan, extreme 3d photography
06.1055
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.

Parallel to this design, an investigation into possibilities for wider web-widths
concluded that the ideal print size would be 1,700 mm width x 1,700 mm cut-off.
Various customers in the liquid packaging and cardboard segments have shown
their interest in this new development. Drent Goebel believes that with this new

+++ PRESS RELEASE
SCA Packaging opts for Drent Goebel’s VSOP 1250
New development in VSOP series
05/21/2008
SCA Packaging in Italy purchased a six color VSOP 1250 for its pre-print liner
production. The machine will be installed in SCA’s production facility in Cornuda. Delivery of the press is planned for early Autumn 2009, the reason for
the extended delivery time is the fact that the press will have a print length of 66
inch (1680 mm), a new development for Drent Goebel.
SCA Packaging’s plant in Cornuda already produces pre-print liner but on older
equipment. The choice for re-investment was between sheet-fed and web-fed
presses, of which sheet-fed is the most commonly used technology nowadays.
SCA Italy has practical experience with both technologies and clearly sees the
advantages of web-fed printing so the path was clearly set. The press has 6
print towers, Butler unwind and rewind splicers for continuous production and
Eltromat Corecon and Web video 3000. The choice for curing is still undecided.
The press will be used to produce wine and liquor boxes and boxes for consumer
electronics. Since these come in many different shapes and sizes, the sleeve

Drent Goebel at drupa: Innovation is a Tradition
Eerbeek, May 2008 - Who definitely needs to visit Drent Goebel at drupa? The
answer is flexible packaging printers, folding carton printers and label printers
too. Commercial printers who go to Drent Goebel will also be astounded by the
versatility of the VSOP presses.
From May 29 to June 11, the centre of the graphic world will be in Germany,
Düsseldorf to be exact. This is where drupa 2008 will be taking place. Visitors
will find an exciting place with plenty of new developments in hall 16. On their
stand C39, Drent Goebel will be showcasing a VSOP 850 with UV and EB curing
capabilities.
At drupa, Drent Goebel will be printing on board and on label stock. We will
show that we are capable of changing over a complete print order within ten
minutes. Visitors will be given the opportunity to assess print quality and to see
the benefits that can be achieved in terms of quality, productivity, costs and the
64

environment.
In the past four years, it has become clear that the VSOP surpasses flexo and
gravure, creating greater productivity and brilliant print quality on many substrates into the bargain. Over sixty installations in various industries have proven
this.
A Drent Goebel drupa solution for quality The VSOP prints high quality offset,
a technology that can compete with gravure on quality. At drupa, Drent Goebel
will be showing a 5-color VSOP in an 850 mm web width. The color density of
offset in the VSOP is so high that many forms of packaging can be printed in
five colors, where flexo would need at least six or seven colors to achieve the
desired contrast and color density.
A Drent Goebel drupa solution for time to market A job changeover will be shown
in the course of every demonstration at drupa. A print image and a change of
format will be performed. The VSOP will be running at full production. It will
then stop, the sleeves will be changed over and production will be fully up and
running again within ten minutes, but with a different print image in a different
format.
A Drent Goebel drupa solution for costs Drent Goebel will be showing a calculation model at drupa. Visitors will be able to perform a calculation in line with their
own production methods and conditions. The results will be a major revelation
to flexo and gravure printers.
A Drent Goebel drupa solution for the environment Drent Goebel is showing
the VSOP without solvents, without distillers, without washers, without storage
rooms for solvent-based inks and solvents. A breath of fresh air for man and the
environment and a solution that will save costs.
Drent Goebel has successfully proven that the VSOP 850 offset press can produce a pet food bag with UV offset inks, which is within the migration limits set
by European legislation.
Given the fact that offset inks do contain certain chemicals, the printer of such
flexible packaging products needs to prove to the brand owner that his products
are safe, fit for purpose, and do not contaminate the packed goods. The printer
needs to clear all risks for the brand owner involved with his printed packaging
material.
By being able to present a ‘declaration of compliance’ the printer has a proof
that his products do comply with the latest regulations in terms of migration limits. With this declaration of compliance, Drent Goebel is able to support their
customers in a way in which the builder of the offset presses has proven that
UV / UV inert / EB offset is fit for purpose and must be seriously considered as
a viable alternative to gravure and flexo.
65
A Drent Goebel drupa solution for curing Drent Goebel is joining forces with
Energy Sciences Inc, (ESI), IST METZ UV and Air Liquide. The four companies
will show their latest technologies incorporated in Drent Goebel’s VSOP press.
ESI and IST will present their latest inventions in respectively EB and UV curing,
Air Liquide will supply the nitrogen used for both curing technologies.
The Drent Goebel VSOP on display has a web width of 33 inches and features
variable sleeves to allow for fast job changeovers with an infinite range of print
repeat lengths. The press provides superior print quality using energy curable
offset inks that are cured with either inerted UV or EB technology.
ESI will be showcasing their EZCure EB unit, which was especially developed
for the VSOP line of presses. IST Metz installed its new BLK-5 lamp with an
inert system on the press. Air Liquide, a world leader in medical and industrial
gases, will be demonstrating its state of the art Nitrogen delivery system on the
systems as well. Converters in the flexible packaging, folding carton and food
packaging industries will be able to see live demonstrations for showcasing the
VSOP’s high throughput and high quality while being solvent and VOC free.
During the day, Drent Goebel will show the 5-color VSOP printing on film for
wraparound labels, shrink-sleeves and flexible packaging and board for folding
cartons.
A Drent Goebel solution for high security printing Drent Goebel printers are emphasizing that efficiency is one of the key issues in Drent Goebel’s web-fed high
security printing. Furthermore, we focus on complete cycle security in our webfed solutions. A high security printer has to have a system in place to guarantee
complete security. In conventional sheet-fed operations much manual handling
is involved and repeated steps of counting, which obviously has a much higher
failure rate than a continuous closed loop web-solution. No manual counting
is necessary any more. An automatic inline counting and verification system
with highest redundancy guarantees total security. In a web-fed operation you
start with a blank reel of paper going into the machine and completely finished,
checked banknotes being delivered directly at the end of the line. Any intervention by personnel is reduced to a minimum. Drent Goebel has been active in
the high security market for many years, and now more and more high security
printers are aware of the great benefits that web-fed solutions guarantee.
-The art of making history- At the Drent Goebel booth there will be a special area
for displaying some pictures of characteristic old-fashioned Goebel presses.
Goebel has a history of over 150 years of building robust German printing machines. The word German in this context is distinctive; who is not impressed by
the quality that German machines offer worldwide?

Drent Goebel Presses labeled Mark II & Mark III
+++ PRESS RELEASE
“Customers push us to explore the boundaries of the possible”
Drent Goebel Presses labeled Mark II & Mark III
Eerbeek, May 2008 - Since launching the Vision in 1996 and the VSOP in 2002,
Drent Goebel has pursued continuous development of these presses in dozens
of components. As of drupa 2008 these successful machines will therefore be
labeled with good reason Mk III for the Vision and Mk II for the VSOP.
neers. Thousands of detail drawings are needed before a press sees the light of
day. But the development process does not stop there. A ‘product improvement
form’ provides Drent Goebel lead designers with suggestions for improvements
to the press, useful tips and suggestions on how to reduce maintenance.
A major driving force behind these improvements is R&D and engineering manager Marco Lichtenberg: “Feedback from customers, service personnel and
suppliers is invaluable. They push us to explore the boundaries of the possible.”
Marco Lichtenberg: “It is not always possible to implement modifications on
presses already in operation. Often it is not necessary either, because printers will be fully satisfied with the way things are working. However, if we consider that an improvement is necessary, it will be made available for existing
machines.”
No hesitation Drent Goebel has brought all the modifications together under the
Mark II umbrella for the VSOP and Mark III for the Vision. “We want to keep the
presses as standard as possible - the number of configurations being built with
the modular concept is vast as it is. Take the VSOP. This press is available in
three web widths and two configurations: one for paperboard and one for paper
and film. Then there is all the peripheral equipment. But as soon as we see
a possibility of building increased robustness, higher speed or even better print
quality into the press, we don’t hesitate for a single second.”
The updated wash unit in the VSOP is a major improvement for printers. A
sprayer now moves powered by a slide cylinder and washes the rolls. This operating cycle is fully programmable, such that the printer can put a wash program
together as he sees fit. “Printers are really pleased with this”, says Lichtenberg.
Further improvements are to be found in the new designs of mandrels, gearboxes and the axial adjustment. Axial adjustment is now refined and even more
robust, the gearbox seals have been simplified and the shaft stiffness increased.
This gives the printer improved running and cross register.
“This is typical of a Mark II component of the VSOP. The design was fine, but
we are now able to reduce press make-ready time even further. This wish was
expressed mainly by printers who want to and are able to print on more than one
substrate in short runs up to 10,000 rpm. Markets are becoming more critical
which means tighter tolerances. Besides, this is also the reason why we now
have cylinder cocking which enables minor differences in register between the
operator and the drive side to be eliminated.”
Even more robust Another improvement in the Mark II for boosting print quality
even further is a newly designed ink tray enabling the right color to be back in
place faster.
Drent Goebel presses are designed by a team of highly trained graduate engi-

“In addition, we also improved our unique swing plate and addressed gear lubrication for higher speeds. We looked at the entire lubrication system for the
gearboxes, which resulted in the oil lasting much longer - a bonus for the customer. We now have water cooling for some of the servomotors, boosting power
reserves, while reducing failures and cutting down on heat emission which could
adversely affect print output.”
One improvement that is mainly for the benefit of maintenance personnel is the
accessibility of the applicators and their pneumatic cylinders. The choice of a
new generation of pneumatic cylinders means they are now simpler to fit and
quicker to set up. Marco Lichtenberg: “We design our presses based on a ROI
philosophy. This means that for each design our engineers need to ask themselves whether it will boost the efficiency of the machine.
Consequently the VSOP has been developed based on the ideas of press uptime and maximized off-press make-ready. “I had just started working at Drent
Goebel when we launched the Vision in 1996. There are customers still running the same Vision even though they are serving completely different markets.
They switched from printing forms for instance, to labels and film. Our presses
feature a modular build and are designed so that we can adapt them to changing markets. This is made possible by being able to design simultaneously for
greater robustness and elegance. Thanks to forward-looking insight, this is a
great engineering bonus.”

Drent Goebel acquires Safety Food Certificates
Eerbeek, May 2008 - Drent Goebel has successfully proven that the offset press
VSOP 850 can produce a pet food bag with UV offset inks, which is within the
migration limits set by European legislation.
“Not only have we proven that we are able to produce pet food bags, we have
also proven that we are able to print any kind of food or animal feed bag with
a laminate structure of OPP/OPP. This material structure is widely used in the
field of packing snacks, candies, cookies and waffles,” says Oliver Thiele, sales
manager and head of the Drent Goebel project team, which took care of the
certification.
Gravure and flexo printers who print with either solvent or water-based inks dominate the market for flexible packaging. When printing offset inks on film material,
Drent Goebel needs to apply energy curing systems (UV or EB) to cure the inks
on such flexible materials.
‘Declaration of compliance’ Given the fact that offset inks do contain certain
chemicals, the printer of such flexible packaging products needs to prove to
the brand owner that his products are safe, fit for purpose, and do not contaminate the packed goods. The printer needs to clear all risks for the brand owner
involved with his printed packaging material.
By being able to present such a ‘declaration of compliance’ the printer has a
proof that his products do comply with the latest regulations in terms of migration
limits. With this declaration of compliance Drent Goebel is able to support their
customers in a way in which the builder of the offset presses has proven that
UV / UV inert / EB offset is fit for purpose and must be seriously considered as
a viable alternative to gravure and flexo.
Oliver Thiele: “Considering the full-sleeve technology of the VSOP, and the declaration of compliance achieved for food applications, we can say that the VSOP
is an ideal press for any flexible packing printer in the field, who is looking for an
alternative for printing short and medium runs profitably.”
Kuhlmann Institute Oliver Thiele explains the process of getting the approval.
“Initially we teamed up with several ink and material suppliers; also we looked
for partners in the industry who were able to produce various laminate structures
for us. Then we tried to identify the most common material combinations in the
market (cookies, candies, chocolate, coffee, soups, etc.).
Having identified what the most commonly used laminates are, we started printing with various types of inks on various materials. During this process we considered the printability of the inks, their initial adhesion on the material, odor,

and laminating capabilities.

With the results we did trials with the example of the pet food bag. Once the
products were ready, we sent samples to the Kuhlmann Institute in Germany for
them to do the various migration tests. It turned out that many of the samples
did comply with the current regulations.”
Best inks in the market Thiele adds: “Offset is a newcomer in this field. Therefore
we needed to find the best partners with the best inks in the market. Also, we
had to review our press design and consider all chemicals, which are currently
being used in the VSOP. Every detail in the press needed to be attended to in
order to ensure that it is not a source of contamination.”
This Declaration of Compliance is for the VSOP 850. In principle there is no
reason why it should not work on any of our other press models. Drent Goebel
is able to achieve the same results on any other VSOP.
Oliver Thiele: “We will not stop here. We have many more packaging jobs in the
pipeline for testing and certification. Thanks to our showroom press in Eerbeek,
the Netherlands, we can run trials on a daily basis and team up with printers to
prove the feasibility of the VSOP for them.”

Drent Goebel opens up New Markets
+++ PRESS RELEASE
Offering better Value for Money
Drent Goebel opens up New Markets
Eerbeek, May 2008 - Drent Goebel was the first press manufacturer in the industry to offer full size variability in offset printing opening up completely new
markets.
Historically, offset has always been a process used to print high quality images
on paper and paperboard, but it could never compete with flexography or gravure
in the flexible packaging and label industry. With complete size variability, these
two markets are also opened up for offset press manufacturers. Drent Goebel
laid the first foundations and has installations running flexible packaging, labels
and even heavy paperboard.
There is a trend towards promotional packaging, which is used just once. As a
result of this, printers are seeing fewer repeat orders and the runs are getting
shorter. There is a requirement for a greater variety of packaging. What is
more, the total throughput needs to go faster. Our customers’ principals want to
set themselves apart with new types of packaging, added to which we have to
observe more stringent legislation. There are increasing restrictions coming up
on the use of solvents for printing packaging.
All end-customers want eye-catching printing, which stands out clearly from the
norm in packaging. Print quality is being forced upwards unremittingly and this
same print quality has to be repeatable. Printers need to have their workflow
well sorted out. Short throughput timescales are required to provide faster time
to market. They believe that keeping printed substrates in stock is too expensive
and has no place in this age. In short, it needs to be better, faster and cost no
more – preferably less.
Answers in a changing market If you look at where the focused Drent Goebel
customers position themselves, you will see that they make every effort to respond to these changing demands from the market. How? By substantially
increasing production with the same manning levels or maintaining production
with fewer people. By seeking an alternative to the use of solvents. By reduced
downtime and shorter set-up times. By offering better value for money. They
standardize the entire workflow, from prepress to product delivery, which ultimately results in lower cost and hopefully higher profit margins.
Get rid of cassettes Web-offset has been an established printing technology for
much longer, albeit for paper printing with fixed repeat lengths. Newspapers,
magazines, free local papers, leaflets, brochures and books come to mind. If
72
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
there were a need for web-offset presses with different repeat lengths, printers
with web-offset presses would have to invest in cassettes. Each cassette had
a three-cylinder system: one for the plate, one for the rubber blanket and one
for the impression cylinder. This cassette system was a way forward for printers
having to work with just a few interrelated repeat lengths. Anyone wanting to
switch to a different format would be faced with the high cost and long lead-time
for this type of cassette. Cassettes are only effective with long print runs and
identical formats. The market is moving in exactly the opposite direction.
No standards for labels and packaging Printers who wanted to utilize the weboffset process for label and packaging printing were faced with extremely high
costs for cassettes, which were needed for each size. Nothing is standard in the
label and packaging market. In 2002 we developed the VSOP especially for this
market. This machine operates with sleeves instead of expensive cassettes. A
set of sleeves is around 80 to 90 percent more cost-effective than a cassette of
the same print size.
Greatest innovation Drent Goebel’s VSOP is the first web-offset printing press
that can print in all variable repeat lengths. The circumference of the plate and
rubber blanket sleeve determines the repeat length and we are able to supply
the sleeves in whatever sizes are required. Following the introduction of the
VSOP, the market views our variable repeat length web-offset machine as a fullyfledged alternative to gravure, flexo and sheet-fed offset. Seeing is believing at
drupa 2008 As with most new developments, printers need to see them before
actually believing all the capabilities on offer. This year you get the chance to
see Drent Goebel’s VSOP press at the biggest show in the graphic arts industry,
drupa 2008.
Drent Goebel will be in Hall 16 on booth C39 and will be showing a 5-color VSOP
with a web width of 33 inches. The press will run with both UV and EB curing on
4 different substrates for wrap-around labels, shrink sleeves, flexible packaging
and cardboard packaging.

“VSOP: The ultimate press for various markets”
+++ PRESS RELEASE
What printers say about Drent Goebel
“VSOP: The ultimate press for various markets”
Eerbeek, May 2008 – Roger Miller and Jim Hammer both head up trend-setting
printing companies in the United States. They invested in the VSOP from Drent
Goebel. What were their motives for changing over to offset and how do they
assess the press in day-to-day production?
- VSOP & Flexible Packaging - Roger Miller: “This is the future” “This changes
everything.” That was the first thought of Roger Miller, CEO and company
founder of Gateway Flexible Packaging, when he first saw Drent Goebel’s VSOP
during the 2004 drupa show in Düsseldorf.
“Initially I was there to purchase the latest and greatest in flexo technology’, Miller
explains. “But when I paused at the Drent Goebel exhibit and saw two young
women changing a job on their press, I knew that this was what I needed.”
What aroused Millers curiosity was the fact that quick-changeover sleeves,
though standard practice for flexo and gravure, had never been available on an
offset press. “If you wanted to change the repeat length on a conventional web
offset press you’d have to swap out the whole cassette, the entire print module.
That would take hours and cost thousands of dollars because print modules are
pretty expensive,” explains Miller.
After drupa, Miller visited the Drent Goebel facilities in Europe and saw a 44inch press being constructed. He also saw the finished press running at the
customer’s plant later on. When Miller indicated he was planning to use the
press to print on flexible packaging, the Drent Goebel people were extremely
interested. This was the direction they wanted to take this technology.
Biggest benefit: quality Greg Petermeyer, General Manager, joined Roger on
this European trip and he was first introduced to this new technology. “After
drupa Roger came back and we had a long discussion about how VSOP technology could fit in the Gateway organization and how we could benefit from this.
During the remainder of the year we visited Drent Goebel and some of their
facilities and began specifying the configuration. During these discussions we
already started seeing the benefits that the new technology would offer us. The
74
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
biggest benefit we saw and still see is the quality; it really brings magazine quality printing to the flexible packaging market. The offset printing process allows
graphic designers to do more with the artwork and we as converters can take this
artwork and create the actual package without the limitations we would normally
have with flexographic printing.”
The press purchased by Gateway Packaging was the fourth wide-web variable
press in the world. Its 49.5-inch web width is the largest width offered by Drent
Goebel to date.
of the company’s key investment criteria.
A unique value-added alternative “Our best opportunity to enter new markets
that are traditionally serviced by rotogravure and central impression flexo is to
offer a unique value-added alternative for which we have affinity,” he says.
“With the VSOP we are now offering offset printed shrink sleeves, ROSO labeling, and high-end roll-fed labeling. Ultimately, we see ourselves expanding into
form, fill, and seal packaging as substrate technology grows to require fewer
extrusions and more use of lamination.”
Miller takes over again: “With the Drent Goebel press, we can print two or three
completely different colors at the same time from the same set of plates. We
can print different colors because we’ll be using manufactured colors, up to six
and seven colors, to match any color in the rainbow. Now we can gang several
different jobs across the web width to reduce waste and reduce the additional
setup time, all without compromising print quality.”
“With this kind of investment we aim to stay ahead of the pack, which is a big
challenge in today’s packaging industry.”
Petermeyer adds: “To shorten the learning curve we hired experienced offset
operators. We didn’t convert the operators we already had on our flexo presses
to the offset press as we wanted to directly optimize the efficiency of the VSOP
press. We might end up transferring some of our flexo operators to the offset
press, but only after we completely manage the core base on the VSOP.
Goebel VSOP.jpg Drent Goebel VSOP: The ultimate press for various markets
Miller ends his comments. “This is the future. I think offset will eventually replace
high quality flexography because it does the same thing flexo printing does but
at a much higher rate of speed, with shorter set-up times, and with a dramatic
improvement in print quality.”

- VSOP & Labels - Jim Hammer: “Lead, don’t follow” Lead, don’t follow. That is
the philosophy of Hammer packaging, a 400-man strong company based in the
Rochester, NY area. The company specializes in film and paper labels including
cut-and-stack, and pressure sensitive.
[email protected]
The company’s growth under current leader Jim Hammer has been impressive to
say the least. He took charge of the company when it was a $ 1 million business
and, last year, it reached the $ 100 million level.
Technology and innovation are key in the company’s growth and are a major
part of Jim Hammer’s vision of industry leadership. A great example of this
philosophy is the company’s investment in a Drent Goebel VSOP press with
a 33-inch web width. This investment was made on the belief that Hammer’s
customers would benefit from a lower cost alternative to gravure printing of shrink
labels, while offering a higher quality option for flexo shrink applications.
Jim Hammer explains: “The technology this press offers is nothing short of spectacular.” He believes it fits well with the company’s strength in offset printing and
can be counted on to expand Hammer’s range of products and services – one

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.
Keppler Medien Gruppe

www.drupa.de
We can now image 300 plates per hour at 200 lpi,” said Jack Knadjian, Vice
President, Worldwide Newspaper Segment and Solutions Marketing, Kodak’s
Graphic Communications Group. “One of the benefits of the GENERATION
NEWS System is that it does not require regular calibration to provide consistent results. It provides shortened makeready times and consistency during print
runs, saving time and money.”
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.

drupa visitors will see the KODAK VERSAMARK VT3000 Printing System, a
scaleable continuous inkjet 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.
Also on display at drupa is the new KODAK VERSAMARK VL2000 Printing System, which prints process color at 600 dpi and is ideal for transactional statements, TransPromo communications, and direct mail solicitations 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. Within its portfolio of electrophotographic solutions, Kodak launches the KODAK NEXPRESS S3600 Digital Production Color Press, the fastest in its S-Series, with dramatically increased
productivity. The new S-Series portfolio includes the NEXPRESS S3000, S2500
and S2100 Digital Production Color Presses, all which have unique onsite upgrade capability for speed, color imaging stations, frontend choices and input/output accessories to help print service providers leverage their initial investments. In addition to the S3600 Press, Kodak also introduces the KODAK NEXPRESS Intelligent Dimensional Coating Solution and the KODAK NEXPRESS
Dimensional Clear Dry Ink, which allow for a raised printing effect that mirrors
thermography printing. The combination of flexible, productive presses and versatile imaging features further enables the production of VDP and attention grabbing applications. This combination helps print providers grow their businesses
by gaining new clients and volumes, and optimizing their bottom lines through
high value applications. In black and white, Kodak previews the KODAK DIGIMASTER EX300 Digital Production System, the fastest cut sheet electrophotographic printer in the market, printing at a rate of 18,000 images per hour (A4). A
83
speed upgrade module that enables the onsite upgrade of current DIGIMASTER
Systems to the higher speed of 300 ppm will also be announced. Based on the
dependability of the DIGIMASTER Platform, print providers in the transaction,
direct mail, and corporate environments will experience offset class reliability
and image quality to meet the turnaround times and application demands of
their print clients. To provide advanced product security and brand protection
for a wide range of applications, Kodak will preview a number of additions to its
Security Solutions capabilities at drupa. Options include secure thermal transfer
ribbon, optically variable ink, and the ability to deliver the KODAK TRACELESS
System for Anticounterfeiting via NEXPRESS Presses. Printed samples, which
demonstrate the ability to add TRACELESS Marking and Detection Systems to
printed materials through the dry toner printing process used with NEXPRESS
Presses, will be on display.
CTP and Proofing Solutions
Kodak features a number of its industry leading solutions for digital plate production at drupa. 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
provides offset class, gravure quality on a wide variety of substrates, including
paper, flexible film, foil, label stock and folding cartons.
Kodak unveils the next level of digital plates for high performance printing with
the new KODAK ELECTRA XD Thermal Plate, exhibiting impressive prepress
and on press stability for excellent resolution, run length, and color control
throughout the full press run. Launching at drupa 2008, the ELECTRA XD
Thermal Plate is a non ablative, no preheat, positive working digital plate. With
typically triple the unbaked run length of the KODAK ELECTRA EXCEL HRL
Plates, the highly durable ELECTRA XD Plate also helps printers reduce overall plate consumption and energy usage while maintaining consistency, stability, and print quality. Kodak’s MAGNUS and TRENDSETTER Platesetters will
be represented at drupa. KODAK Platesetters utilize KODAK SQUARESPOT
Imaging Technology to minimize the impact of routine prepress variations, and
deliver stable and reliable plates that stay within tight print manufacturing tolerances. Enabled by SQUARESPOT Technology, KODAK STACCATO Screening offers high fidelity, continuous tone images that exhibit fine detail and an
extended color gamut. With the growth of the extremely wide format market and
the introduction of presses with formats covering 80 total pages (front and back),
Kodak introduces an XLF platesetter to its MAGNUS Platesetter line. Based on
84
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
the market leading KODAK MAGNUS VLF QUANTUM Platesetter, the fastest
fully automated very large format platesetter on the market, the new KODAK
MAGNUS XLF 80 QUANTUM Platesetter supports extremely large formats up
to 2.26 meters wide for 80 page web presses. Kodak will also show a technology
demonstration of the new 96 page CTP concept that is currently in development.
The MAGNUS XLF 80 Platesetter offers features that are important to wide format commercial printing operations, including high speeds of up to 26.8 plates
per hour at resolutions of 2,400 dpi. The extra large format enables printers
to use the widest web presses for the most efficient print production, while still
producing plates for existing press formats.
The KODAK MAGNUS 800Z QUANTUM Platesetter also launches at drupa.
The MAGNUS 800Z QUANTUM Platesetter delivers faster throughput than any
other KODAK Platesetter, and it 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. With its output capacity of 60 eight up plates per hour and use
of KODAK STACCATO Screening for high quality color reproduction, the MAGNUS 800Z QUANTUM Platesetter delivers exceptional productivity and imaging
performance.
Kodak will demonstrate a new automatic pallet loader for the MAGNUS 800
Platesetter family, which increases automation and manufacturing efficiency by
loading up to 600 plates without manual handling. Plate pallets can be easily loaded via the automatic pallet loader, minimizing labor and providing quick
set up time. The automatic pallet loader for MAGNUS 800 Platesetters allows
large commercial and publication printers to have long, unattended operation
and even greater automation. The automatic pallet loader also works with a
single cassette tray for smaller plate quantities. The new pallet loader will be
available later this year.
The new KODAK MAGNUS 400 II Platesetter images up to 22 plates per hour,
while the MAGNUS 400 II QUANTUM Platesetter boasts an imaging rate of up
to 38 plates per hour. By supporting two to six page plate sizes, the MAGNUS
400 II Platesetters give printers the flexibility to image a wider range of plates
and provide support for a greater variety of presses. The combination of a MAGNUS 400 II Platesetter, KODAK Unified Workflow Solutions and KODAK Plates
creates a cost effective, all in one prepress solution for performance minded

Kodak Spotlights Stream Inkjet Technology and Other
Inkjet Platforms for Production Printers to Grow Roll
Fed Volumes
DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, May 29— Kodak presents the industry’s widest
range of inkjet innovations at drupa 2008. Systems representing Kodak’s three
platforms for inkjet production printing—continuous inkjet, drop on demand
(DOD) and KODAK Stream Inkjet Technology—will be on display. Kodak’s wide
breadth of inkjet solutions provides production printing solutions to a range of
markets. With Kodak, production printers can select from a number of options
to get the system that best meets their unique requirements.
Kodak’s inkjet production solutions currently help commercial printers establish
a competitive advantage by offering addressing and in line personalization capabilities, as well as streamlining production of personalized direct mail solicitations. Transactional printers that want to reduce inventory costs and increase
the overall value of transactional communications, as well as publishers looking to lower production costs and reach lower, economical run lengths, also can
benefit from Kodak’s inkjet production solutions.
“By leveraging our experience in inkjet printing, and combining with it Kodak’s
strength in offering robust, unified workflow and prepress solutions, we will bring
new production level solutions based on our diverse technology platforms,” said
Isidre Rosello, General Manager, Inkjet Printing Solutions, Kodak’s Graphic
Communications Group, and Vice President, Eastman Kodak Company. “KODAK Stream Inkjet Technology will serve as the cornerstone of our future inkjet
product line.”
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. Stream Inkjet Technology
serves as an entrée for continuous inkjet printing into commercial printers that
want the benefits of variable data, short run, personalization or versioning on
their jobs traditionally produced using offset presses.
Print service providers using full color continuous inkjet technology have formerly been limited to printing on uncoated paper stock with dye water based
inks or higher cost inkjet coated substrates. With KODAK Stream Inkjet Technology, both claycoated and uncoated papers can be utilized to meet the needs
of commercial printers for applications like catalogs, direct mail and free standing
inserts.
Kodak’s drupa stand features two technology demonstrations of KODAK Stream
Inkjet Technology. The Stream Concept Press shows a system with resolution
that exceeds 600 dpi at fast production speeds. Developed from the ground up
92
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
as a high volume production system solution, the technology demonstration incorporates Kodak’s 10 years of roll fed color inkjet experience coupled with technical expertise in print technology development, workflow, color management,
and ink and media interaction. The Stream Concept Printhead from Kodak will
also be on display, demonstrating the speed and integration capabilities of the
technology. Capable of delivering monochrome offset class VDP applications
at up to 1,000 fpm to commercial offset printers, the Stream Concept Printhead
from Kodak shows Stream Inkjet Technology’s potential for hybrid printing. As
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.

Kodak Enhances KODAK NEXPRESS Digital Color
Presses and KODAK DIGIMASTER Digital Production
Systems to Increase Speeds and Help Customers
Capture More Business
Faster presses, new features and scaleability boost productivity and capture
higher margins
DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, May 29—Adding to an already powerful portfolio of
digital color and black and white electrophotographic printing solutions, Kodak
creates new ways for customers to succeed in a highly competitive market. The
new enhancements unleash the power of Kodak scaleability to help customers
grow their businesses with minimal disruption and investment.
Kodak launches the KODAK NEXPRESS S3600 Digital Production Color Press,
the fastest in its S-Series, with dramatically increased productivity. “At 120
pages per minute (A4), Kodak remains the leader in delivering solutions that take
productivity to a new level,” said Steve Fletcher, General Manager, Electrophotographic Printing Solutions, Vice President, Kodak’s Graphic Communications
Group.
In black and white printing, Kodak previews the KODAK DIGIMASTER EX300
Digital Production System. “At 300 images per minute (A4), Kodak leads the
cut sheet black and white category with the fastest printer on the market today,”
Fletcher said.
“Digital printing is exploding. When customers need more productivity, they
aspire for something simpler or more cost effective than a forklift upgrade.
They want to leverage their investment,” said Fletcher. “Most Kodak customers
with NEXPRESS Presses and DIGIMASTER Systems can achieve these new
speeds with an upgrade module installed on their existing unit by Kodak.”
New Digital Production Color Press
The new KODAK NEXPRESS S3600 Digital Production Color Press offers 7,200
sheets/hour (A4) allowing print providers to achieve a higher level of productivity
103
As part of Kodak’s commitment to enabling print providers to leverage their press
investment and achieve a higher return on investment, NEXPRESS S-Series
Presses can be upgraded onsite to increase output speed, add color imaging
units and input/output options.
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).
Kodak will also make available a speed upgrade module that will enable current
owners of the DIGIMASTER EX or E-Series printers to upgrade their system to
300 ppm. The EX300 is targeted to operations dedicated to publishing, transactional, corporate/government print shops, and direct mail applications where
productivity and turnaround time are critical. It will be available in mid-2009.
The DIGIMASTER Series, including the EX300, also features expanded finishing capability with the choice of the Watkiss SpineMaster and PowerSquare 200
Booklet Maker. These devices produce professional looking booklets ranging in
size from 88 pages to 200 pages and enable print providers to produce booklets
with square backs and print the document’s title or other information on the spine.
The Watkiss PowerSquare 200 BookletMaker will be featured on the DIGIMASTER Systems located in the Watkiss and Ricoh booths. The SpineMaster is
available now, and the PowerSquare 200 will be available in late 2008.
The DIGIMASTER EX300 System will also connect to the KODAK PRINERGY
Workflow System by utilizing enhancements in KODAK SMARTBOARD Document Mastering Software, where full job ticketing and bidirectional job and print
engine status are supported.

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.
Kodak has also expanded the KODAK MARKETMOVER Consulting and Training Services in Western Europe. MARKETMOVER Service Professionals work
directly with print providers to develop marketing plans, train senior management
and sales representatives on new business opportunities, and support marketing and sales programs. Consulting and training services are now available in
the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Italy, Iberia, and
the International Cluster.
About Kodak
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.

DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, June 4 – drupa 2008 has so far been bathed in
105

www.drupa.de
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

KODAK INSITE Campaign Manager Helps Print Service
Providers Offer Integrated Marketing Campaigns
DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, May 29—For print service providers moving beyond “ink on paper” to become marketing service providers, KODAK INSITE
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,
email blasts, and key metrics and analytics.
INSITE Campaign Manager offers powerful tools to manage four key aspects of
data:
• Campaign Data: manages and organizes marketing campaigns for print service providers on behalf of their customers • Customer Data: provides framework
to consume, cleanse, correct, and process client data • Enhanced Data: provides framework to enhance client data by leveraging geo-demographic data •
Knowledge and Insight: uses a powerful analytical engine to leverage client data
109
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.”

the right press to take our digital print capabilities to the next level. The cost per
page, reliability, image quality and uptime offered by the NEXPRESS S3600

Royal Broese & Peereboom Eliminates Plate
Production Shifts, Increases Overall Print Capacity
KODAK MAGNUS 800Z QUANTUM Platesetter improves bottom line
112
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
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
113
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.

First UK Sale of New KODAK GENERATION NEWS
System is made at drupa 2008
UK’s Archant Print selects two thermal digital platestters to increase speed and
throughput, and attain ability to print FM Screening using Staccato
DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, June 5 — Kodak has announced the first UK customer for its new GENERATION NEWS System – Kodak’s new thermal computer to plate (CTP) solution. Norwich based media company Archant, the
114
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
UK’s largest independently-owned regional media business, placed the order
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.
The GENERATION NEWS Platesetter also features Kodak’s unique SQUARESPOT
Thermal Imaging Technology, which has been adopted from the commercial environment and provides consistent dot accuracy and tonal stability. This enables
Archant to achieve up to 200 lpi and implement KODAK STACCATO Screening
Technology.
This is set to deliver further benefits to Archant’s print operations by enabling
higher screen rules; sharper linework; excellent reverse type and legibility. The
Thermal technology minimizes early dot wear on the plate and eliminates varia-
115
tion found in visible light and UV systems.
“Now that ‘semi-commercial’ printing has become an unstoppable trend in future
newspaper press investments, this type of solution will become invaluable”, says
Jack Knadjian, Vice President Publishing Market Segment, Kodak’s Graphic
Communications Group. “The GENERATION NEWS System will provide our
customers with the quality and stability they require, without having to sacrifice
the productivity and plate automation that are demanded for newspaper deadlines. As such, it offers a ‘no compromise solution’ that combines the best attributes of both visible light and thermal systems.”
The KODAK GENERATION NEWS Systems will be installed at Archant’s Norwich printing facility, which together with its Ipswich site, prints the majority of
the group’s newspaper titles and offers a contract print service. As a whole, the
Archant Group employs 2600 people throughout England and has an annual
turnover of £194 million.

www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
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

Kodak Shows drupa Attendees Electrophotographic
Solutions that Are Approved for Food and Toy
Applications
DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, June 9—With concerns about environmental
safety and sustainability taking center stage in the worldwide graphic arts market, Kodak is demonstrating at drupa its NEXPRESS and DIGIMASTER Solutions that offer offset class printing and feature a range of certifications for food
and toy applications as well as compliance for de-inking in the European market.
drupa visitors are seeing firsthand the combination of environmental stewardship
and market leading output offered by KODAK NEXPRESS Digital Production
Color Presses and KODAK DIGIMASTER Digital Production Systems. Every
NEXPRESS Digital Color Press offers printed material that is approved in the
E.U., with all eight dry inks approved for food packaging in accordance with the
European Recommendation XXXVI “Papers and Boards for Food Contact” for
121
dry, moist and fatty foods. The certification is issued by ISEGA (Forschungs
und Untersuchungs-Gesellschaft mbH Aschaffenburg), an independent testing
institute in German with accreditation under ISO 17025. This means that the
NEXPRESS Digital Production Color Press is ideal for food packaging applications that benefit from the inherent advantages of digital printing—short runs,
personalization, versioning, design comps, promotional packages, and market
testing. For the European toy market, KODAK NEXPRESS - Dry Inks have
been examined for their release of heavy metals and certified as safe under DIN
EN 71, part 3 “Safety of Toys, Migration of Certain Elements.” This allows use
in children’s books, toy packaging, and instruction manuals, for example. “We
have designed our inks and presses to be suitable for the widest range of applications possible, and these certifications enforce our commitment to providing
safe, productive, high quality solutions to the market,” said Mark F. Weber, Vice
President, Marketing, Electophotographic Printing Solutions, Kodak’s Graphic
Communications Group. “With new digital print opportunities opening up every day, it is critical that Kodak solutions be capable of capitalizing on these
opportunities and opening the door to new business and revenue streams for
our customers. Food and toy packaging are good examples of unique, exciting applications for our NEXPRESS and DIGIMASTER Product families.” Furthermore, any document printed on the NEXPRESS Digital Production Color
Press or the DIGIMASTER Digital Production System is suitable for recycling in
the European market, as it adheres to the necessary guidelines for de-inking.
Pages produced on NEXPRESS Digital Color Production Presses and DIGIMASTER Digital Production Systems have been tested to de-inking standards
set by INGEDE, the International Association of the De-Inking Industry. Both
with and without a clear dry ink coating, the documents met or exceeded the
same de-inking standards INGEDE applies to materials printed using conventional offset or gravure. All components of NEXPRESS - Dry Inks have been
tested in extreme conditions to verify that no harmful compounds are generated
or released during manufacturing, usage or disposal. Additionally, anti-setoff
powder and cleaning agents are not needed, which eliminates another potential source of emissions. KODAK Products are backed by KODAK Service and
Support. KODAK Service and Support is made up of more than 3,000 professionals reaching more than 120 countries. It is a leading multi vendor integrated

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.
When a customer places an order through the user’s KODAK INSITE Storefront
System, the order information is validated instantly in KODAK EMS Business
Software: the item ordered, quantity, special instructions and shipping address.
Once the web order information is validated, KODAK EMS Software can automatically create, release and schedule the job. When the web order is shipped
123
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
order books and manuals, business identification products (such as business
cards and letterhead), and collateral. Orders can be new or reorders of existing material. The storefront can be customized with the company’s corporate
branding and a flexible pricing engine, which provides several types of online
payment options, is localized in 15 languages, and supports 177 currencies in
228 countries via CYBERSOURCE Solutions. It includes job tracking capabilities for customers and the printer’s production department.

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
125
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.
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.
“Consumers today are bombarded with information, and capturing their attention is an ongoing challenge,” said Ronen Cohen, Vice President, Marketing,
Inkjet Printing Solutions, Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group. “The odds
of cutting through the information overload and getting them to respond increase
greatly by delivering relevant, targeted content, in full color. Our solutions make
that possible, and Salmat BusinessForce is making the most of those opportu-

Analysis by SpencerLab Verifies Offset Class Potential
of the Stream Concept Press from Kodak
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
exceeds 600 dpi and high production speeds.

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
130
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
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
131
had been honored by the association for its offerings in the flexographic marketplace.

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
137
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.

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
139
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,
141
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.
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.
“We use the NEXPRESS S3000 Press to print art books to high quality levels, as well as personalized variable data jobs, and we use a special software
142
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
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
147
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
Support” is a high-performance web-based MIS System for print and media purchasers that provides a highly developed tool to organize the process of print
procurement more efficient. The open “HIFLEX Webshop” is a new web shop
system especially developed to meet the needs of the print and media industry
and the first and, up to now, the only worldwide online print shop with implemented Internet ordering of custom formats.

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.
149
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
with improved spot color recipes and accurate n-color profiles for image separation. Furthermore, COLORFLOW Software can use colorimetric information to
build curves that optimize color and gray balance, providing more uniform color
150

reproduction across devices. COLORFLOW Software utilizes Smart DeviceLink
technology to create device links for applications such as proofing, press stabilization and ink savings. Kodak’s unique KODAK MATCHPRINT Virtual Technology allows accurate and consistent on screen color when editing profiles and
curves within the COLORFLOW Software.
COLORFLOW Software supports international standards and formats
COLORFLOW Software is using open standard formats and will work with both
Kodak and non-Kodak Systems. Kodak fully endorses the rigorous ISO 12647
printing and ISO 10128 printing system standardization recommendations, as
well as supports the international PDF/X data exchange formats (and associated
ICC standards), as well as the JDF job control specifications.
It is available in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Simplified
Chinese, and Russian. COLORFLOW Software offers the same functionality in
both Windows and Mac operating systems.

KODAK COLORFLOW Software Introduces Color
Relationship Management to Redefine How Users
Work with Color
Kodak showcases COLORFLOW Software along with its Ink Optimizing solution at drupa
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.
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.
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

Manager, Color, Enterprise Solutions, GCG.
Ink Optimizing Solution Improves Print Quality While Reducing Ink Consumption
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.
(Kodak, ColorFlow and Prinergy are trademarks of Eastman Kodak Company.)
2008
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.
05/29/2008
“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.

KODAK ELECTRA XD Thermal Plate Brings Offset
Printing to New Levels of Stability and Quality
Newest KODAK Thermal Plate delivers exceptional latitude and longer runs
ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 27—Kodak unveils the next level of digital plate for
high performance printing with the new KODAK ELECTRA XD Thermal Plate,
exhibiting impressive prepress and on press stability for excellent resolution, run
length, and color control throughout the full press run. With typically triple the
unbaked run length of the ELECTRA HR Plates, the highly durable ELECTRA
XD Plate also helps printers reduce overall plate consumption and energy usage

while maintaining consistency, stability, and print quality.
Launching at drupa 2008, the ELECTRA XD Thermal Plate is a non ablative, no
preheat, positive working digital plate. With consistent dot to dot reproduction,
the ELECTRA XD Plate provides excellent prepress latitude, helping users reduce manual intervention and cut makeready time. The ELECTRA XD Plate’s
outstanding dot stability helps ensure more consistent and stable production
on press from start to finish. Capable of printing 10 micron FM screening, the
ELECTRA XD Plate’s resolution is 1% to 99% at 250 lpi.
“The ELECTRA XD Plate enables further hands off automation in parts of the
printing process that once required manual intervention and labor intensive monitoring and adjustments,” said Rich Rindo, Director Global Product Management,
Printing Plates Business, Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group. “It actually
‘industrializes’ FM screening and fine AM line screens, allowing the work to be
repeated day in and day out with consistent, stable quality. That becomes a real
competitive advantage for users.”
The ELECTRA XD Plate is rated for 500,000 impressions without baking and 1.5
million baked, and is ideal for medium to long run sheetfed and heatset/coldset
web offset operations. Because of its run length, users of the ELECTRA XD
Plate may be able to reduce plate usage and decrease energy costs.
#
ELECTRA XD Plates have been in rigorous beta site testing in both the EAMER
and US&C regions with positive results. The ELECTRA XD Plate is currently
manufactured in Europe and manufacturing is scaling up in the United States
and Asia.
06/11/2008
The ELECTRA XD Plate extends Kodak’s leadership in thermal plates. Plate innovations include: the first thermal CTP plate at drupa 1995; the KODAK ELECTRA Plate, the first no preheat thermal plate and world’s best selling thermal
plate to date; the KODAK SWORD Thermal Printing Plate, the first no preheat
and highly robust thermal plate; the KODAK THERMALNEWS Digital Plate, the
first high speed thermal newspaper plate; and the KODAK THERMAL DIRECT
Non Process Plate, a truly non process plate. Beyond thermal plates, Kodak’s
broad portfolio of digital plates offers options for violet laser systems for commercial printing and newspaper publishing.
DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, June 10 — Venus Printing Press LLC, a large
commercial printer and digital print shop based in Abu Dhabi, is purchasing the
first KODAK NEXPRESS M700 Press for the Middle Eastern market. In a move
to expand into full color variable data applications to meet the needs of its customers across the financial, design agency and government markets, the United
Arab Emirate based printer has selected the KODAK M700 Press. Appealing to

Kodak Sponsors Sheridan College “The Language of
Illustration” Graduate Exhibition and Catalog
Student artwork printed and distributed at drupa 2008
DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, June 4—Kodak, in its commitment to the advancement of visual communications, recently sponsored “The Language of Illustration,” a graduate exhibition and catalog produced by Sheridan College Institute
of Technology and Advanced Learning in Toronto. Designed to promote the work
of graduate students in the Illustration program, the catalog was printed using a
variety of KODAK Products.
Recognizing that illustration is at the point of visual communications where creativity and commerce intersect, Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group (GCG)
works to support the next generation of illustrators through its sponsorship of
projects such as this one. In addition to financial and technical support, Kodak’s
Graphic Communications Group also is licensing some of the students’ work to
175
Leveraging workflow, prepress, and printing solutions from Kodak, the posters
will be printed daily and available at the Kodak booth. Some of the products involved in prepress include the KODAK INSITE Prepress Portal System, KODAK
MATCHPRINT Virtual Proofing Option, KODAK PRINERGY Workflow System,
KODAK STACCATO CX Screening, KODAK MAGNUS QUANTUM Platesetter,
and KODAK ELECTRA EXCEL HRL Thermal Plates.
“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
177
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.
In 2007, the TRACELESS System received the GATF InterTech™ Technology
Award for its highly effective capabilities and easy implementation for commercial printers.
KODAK Security Solutions leverage Kodak’s expertise in material science, digital imaging, document imaging, and graphic communications to create a broad
portfolio of products and technologies that protect against counterfeiting. KODAK Security Solutions are backed by KODAK Service and Support, with more
than 3,000 professionals reaching more than 120 countries. KODAK Service
and Support professionals are uniquely qualified to provide services that control
costs, maximize productivity, and minimize business risk.

EFI/Heidelberg EFI Hagen OA estimates and plans a job that includes stripping data and gray box info for prepress. Prinect Prepress Manager receives
JDF from EFI Hagen OA and then evaluates gray boxes for page proofing, imposition preparation, imposition proofing and final imaging. Prinect Prepress
Manager then creates imposition information via JDF stripping parameters, assigns content files and marks to the sheets, automatically processes proofing
and plate exposure, generates preview images, then submits job status information via JMF to EFI Hagen OA. EFI Hagen OA then sends JDF to Prinect
Pressroom Manager which evaluates gray box info for printing and communicates job status information via JMF back to EFI Hagen OA.
EFI/Kodak EFI Prograph® software will be used to create a production plan including a complete imposition and detail for prepress, press, bindery and distribution. Prinergy with Business Link will be shown collecting and pre-flighting
content pages and notifying Prograph when they are available. Once all content has been received and refined, Prograph will export a populated layout to
Prinergy, including content links and marks. Prinergy then processes the JDF
automatically which results in the output of proofs and plates with minimal user

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 delivering 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.

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.
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.
205
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
ink and compatibility with key industry substrates enables printing on paper, film,
rigid boards and a variety of other specialty materials.
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

wide.
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
innovation within the superwide format market.”

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
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 antici-
208
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
pated. 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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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
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

With speeds of up to 30.5 metres/min at more than 1000 dpi with greyscale technology, the Jetrion 4000 delivers full-colour label printing up to 13.9 cms (5.5 ins)
wide. The system also features Jetrion’s advanced UV4000 ink set which provides exceptional durability and reduces the need for costly over-laminates. In
combination with EFI’s Fiery XF RIP, the inks provide outstanding colour reproduction across a wide range of substrates.
“We’re delighted to have received this award,” remarked Kenneth Stack, EFI
Vice President and General Manager, Jetrion. “The past year has been an exciting one – in response to customer demand, we doubled the space dedicated to
our industrial inkjet research, development and manufacturing operation located
in Ypsilanti, Michigan; the Jetrion 4000 went into full production and we launched
Jetrion in Europe. The EDP award really is therefore the icing on the cake for
us this year and recognises the innovation and efforts of the Jetrion R & D and
manufacturing divisions in bringing the Jetrion 4000 to market. The Jetrion 4000
stands apart from other solutions, with lower running costs than toner alternatives and a lower purchase price that delivers compelling ROI. We look forward
to demonstrating its capabilities and taking orders for this printer at drupa. Following drupa we’ll turn our attention to Labelexpo Americas in September, where
EFI Jetrion has been nominated for the 2008 Label Industry Global Awards.”
211
Repacorp, Inc., one of the largest specialty printing companies in the U.S., recently installed a Jetrion 4000. While they are still in the initial stages of ramping

„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.
EskoArtwork
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.
227
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
228
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
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
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
230
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
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®
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, de-
231
signers 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
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
232
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
first companies to use a perfectly harmonized end-to-end JDF workflow solution,
clearly expressing the future path of the packaging industry.
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
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.
233
EskoArtwork and its partners will demonstrate at drupa 2008 a complete JDF
packaging workflow through all the individual units.

EskoArtwork and Sun Chemical announce cooperation
in Packaging Color Strategy
Düsseldorf (Germany), May 29, 2008 − Sun Chemical and EskoArtwork have
today at drupa 2008 unveiled details of a new strategic partnership in color and
workflow to bring further benefits to new and existing customers of these two
world leaders in graphic arts.
The SmartColour™ group at Sun Chemical, which represents the world’s largest
maker of printing inks and pigments via solutions for brand color management,
and EskoArtwork, the global market leader in packaging pre-production solutions, are sharing global expertise to bring tangible benefits in packaging across
graphic arts. Both companies have already been working together for several
months, integrating their solutions with each other and testing the value proposition with selected mutual customers.
The partnership will involve producing color-accurate proofs by integrating ac-
236
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
cess to the Sun Chemical SmartColour database of ink readings inside the EskoArtwork Kaleidoscope color management software. Sun Chemical has worldrenowned expertise in applied color management for brand packaging, whereas
EskoArtwork has market-leading global competency in color managed packaging workflows. The SmartColour database contains over 300,000 printed packaging colors, which can be achieved with inks from almost any supplier. SmartColour will extend the EskoArtwork ‘Color for Everyone’ platform by enabling
the whole packaging development workflow to use real colors printed with real
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 Chem-
237

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
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
239
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
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.
“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.”
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!’ with EskoArtwork at drupa 2008
Offering innovative and cutting-edge solutions for professionals designing, producing and managing packaging and print
Düsseldorf (Germany) , May 29, 2008 - Production workflows in packaging and
commercial printing are no longer islands of automation but focus on efficiencies
and productivity gains to be obtained from integration: this is EskoArtwork’s core
message at drupa 2008. EskoArtwork has assembled a must-see range of de-
240
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
sign, production and management products on its drupa booth (Hall 8b, stand
A23) centered on its ’Connect More!’ theme. As market leader of innovative
solutions for packaging, commercial printing and professional publishing, the
company brings more than fifteen new products to market.
Connect More! ”Efficiency makes the difference in today’s packaging and printing business. Companies can only improve operating margins and grow profits
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.
“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.”
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
241
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 closeup on expert production tools that are the benchmarks in their markets: ArtPro,
Nexus, DeskPack, PackEdge, Plato and PowerStepper, to name just a few.
”Visitors will see EskoArtwork’s efforts to cross-integrate its various workflow
lines,” adds Van der Schueren. ”The opportunities to create value from crossdepartmental system links and from collaboration between project stakeholders
will be illustrated through live demonstrations.”
Computer Aided Design The latest features of the world-leading structural design application ArtiosCAD will be on display in the CAD zone, with live demonstrations in coordination with EskoArtwork partners SolidWorks, Japanese distributor NSK (with Pixsys) and Italian distributor BBI.
Color For Everyone The “Color For Everyone” zone will show prepress professionals several solutions for color management, proofing and output, complete
with expert services. They will discover why EskoArtwork is an end-to-end color
powerhouse with color management answers for everyone.
EskoArtwork’s production color management workflow demonstrations will among
others feature new screening technologies like Concentric, Equinox - a solution

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 cost-
242
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
effective 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
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

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
249
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
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

traf sich der Kreis erneut. Schnell hatte sich die Qualität dieser Veranstaltung
herumgesprochen. 10 weitere Unternehmer kamen hinzu.
Die EWA in Zahlen – Stand 01.01.2008
In dieser Konferenz forderten die Unternehmer, daraus eine ständige Einrichtung zu machen:
Anzahl direkt vertretener Unternehmen: 38 Unternehmen
Die EWA - European Web Association - war geboren.
Indirekt über Unternehmensgruppen: über 50 Unternehmen
Branchen - Vereinigung von aktiven Unternehmen
Durch größere Unternehmensgruppen, die zum Teil auch international produzieren,
sind deutlich mehr Unternehmen vertreten. Die folgenden Zahlen beziehen sich
auf die für den deutschsprachigen Raum relevanten Unternehmen.
Einig ist man sich bis heute darin: man will anders arbeiten, als die klassischen Verbände, denn diese entwickeln sich tendenziell schnell zu Bürokratie,
Formalismus, Regularien und Stagnation. Die EWA wurde zu einem offenen
„come together“ dieses konstanten Kreises, unternehmerisch geführt, unkompliziert, direkt und offen - zur Zukunftsgestaltung von Rollenoffset und Tiefdruck:
Offensives Handeln statt defensive Mitgliedschaft.
In der EWA vertretene Unternehmen haben im für Deutschland relevanten Markt
ein:
Umsatzvolumen von: 3,30 Mrd. Euro / Jahr
Die EWA – eine starke Gemeinschaft
Papierverbrauch von: 2,73 Mio. Tonnen / Jahr
Inzwischen sind 37 Unternehmer und Geschäftsführer in diesem Arbeitskreis,
die zusammen über 60 Unternehmen repräsentieren. In Maschinenkapazität
liegt der Anteil bei rund 70% der Branche. Teilnehmer sind nur die Unternehmer
oder gesamtverantwortlichen Geschäftsführer bzw. Vorstände. Eine Vertretung in den Konferenzen ist nicht möglich. Die Sitzungen sind nicht öffentliche
Klausuren.
Einkaufsvolumen Farbe von: 76,7 Mio. Kg / Jahr
Einkaufsvolumen Platten von: 3,65 Mio. m² / Jahr
Energieverbrauch in - Gas von: 980 Mio. kWh / Jahr
- Strom von: 579 Mio. kWh / Jahr
Anzahl Mitarbeiter von: 14.520
——————————————————————————–
Michael Dömer, seit 1986 selbständiger Unternehmensberater in der Druck- und
Medienindustrie, entschloss sich im April 1998 aufgrund seiner Erfahrungen in
Beratungsaufträgen und nicht zuletzt durch eigene Erfahrung als Interimsmanager, die Wettbewerber im Rollenoffset zu einer Konferenz an einen Tisch zu
bringen, um über die Zukunft dieses Branchenteils zu sprechen.
Diese mittelständische Branche war bereits zu diesem Zeitpunkt auf einer sich
selbst beschleunigenden Talfahrt, eine Reihe von Insolvenzen verdeutlichte dieses
Bild. Trotz hoher Investitionen und Innovationen sanken und sinken die Erträge
der Unternehmen.
Es sollte zunächst ein Gedankenaustausch zur Branchensituation und diesen
Themen werden und ein Forum, den Unternehmern in einer Klausursituation
Impulse für die Verbesserung der betriebswirtschaftlichen Situation ihrer einzelnen Unternehmen zu geben.
Die „Gipfelkonferenz Rollenoffset“ am 03. April 1998 war ein durchschlagender Erfolg: endlich eine unternehmerische Veranstaltung, in der offene Kommunikation im Mittelpunkt stand statt einseitiger Vorträge. Bereits 6 Monate später
255
Auch nach 10 Jahren zeigt sich zur 30. EWA-Konferenz am 07.04.2008 in
Hamburg das Engagement und die Motivation ungebrochen. Trotz voller Terminkalender kommen zu jeder Konferenz die überwiegende Anzahl aller Unternehmenschefs.
In den Konferenzen werden offene Gespräche und Diskussionen geführt. Es
ist ein Kreis von Unternehmern, die zwar weiterhin hart miteinander im Wettbewerb stehen, sich jedoch innerhalb der EWA Vertrauen und Fairness zusagen.
Letztlich geht es um den Markt, um die Branche. Bei sinkender Rendite und
hohen Investitionen muss es gelingen, für den Markt leistungsfähiger Partner
zu bleiben.
Es muss dem Markt deutlich werden, dass dazu auch Gewinne erwirtschaftet
werden müssen. Innovation und Partnerschaft braucht wirtschaftliche Stärken
und Selbstbewusstsein.
Neben den Konferenzen, die 3mal im Jahr durchgeführt werden, erfolgt ein
ständiger Austausch über das Büro des Gründers und Initiators, des Unternehmensberaters Michael Dömer.
In Rundschreiben werden von ihm aktuelle Informationen und Kommentare schnell
weitergeleitet. Jeder Unternehmer hat die Möglichkeit über den E-Mail Verteiler
zu spezifischen Fragen schnell und unkompliziert seine Kollegen zu erreichen.

Project web2proof at drupa 2008
flexo Suisse
Der Flexodruck
Das Flexodruckverfahren ermöglicht es, auf rotierendem Weg endlose Bahnen
(Papier, Kunststoff- Metallfolien, Verbunde) rationell zu bedrucken.
Neben den Tiefdruckverfahren ist der Flexodruck das Verfahren der Wahl bei
der Herstellung von flexiblen Verpackungen, beim Bedrucken von Wellpappe
und auch bei der Etikettenherstellung.
Die kostengünstige Herstellung der Druckplatten, die schnell trocknenden Farben, das Bedrucken von nicht saugenden Bedruckstoffen und die hohe Produktionsgeschwindigkeit in Verbindung mit modernen Druckmaschinen, haben dem
Flexodruck in den letzten Jahren einen starken Auftrieb gegeben.
Fogra is organising a joint project at drupa under the theme ”web2proof”. At
the Fogra stand (Hall 5 A02), trade fair visitors shall be offered the possibility of generating a customised test form using a web-interface. It comprises
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.
In this manner, the interested party can view his test form as a softproof, a contract proof, a digital print out or just all of them in the preferred combination. Last
but not least, it is possible to obtain production print sheets of a predefined test
form printed according to ISO 12647-2 from a printing machine manufacturer for
comparison or proof simulation. In the process, one can get information about
263

FUJIFILM Dimatix Inkjet System Helps Researchers
Optimize and Test New Materials for “Solar Water
Splitting”
New method relies on FUJIFILM Dimatix deposition technology to aid in discovering functional and inexpensive compounds for producing hydrogen from
water and sunlight.
270
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
Santa Clara, Calif.; April 4, 2008 – FUJIFILM Dimatix, the world’s leading supplier of drop-on-demand inkjet printheads for industrial applications, today announced that its cartridge-based Dimatix Materials Printer (DMP) has been used
to assist researchers in devising a novel method of rapidly producing, testing and
optimizing new materials that hold promise for efficiently producing hydrogen
from water and sunlight.
The new inkjet-based method developed by researchers at the Department of
Chemistry at Colorado State University relied on a FUJIFILM Dimatix DMP-2800
Materials Printer to quantify the optimal proportions and deposition conditions
of promising new metal oxides by precision-printing controlled arrays of finelygraded compounds onto transparent conductive substrates.
The new method allowed the researchers to more readily quantify mixtures of
compounds in a printed matrix that were the most promising candidates for further research. Using it, the researchers were able to isolate a particular chemical
compound that has potential for water photoelectrolysis. (Water photoelectrolysis – also known as “solar water splitting” – involves converting sunlight into an
electrical current, and using that current to divide water into hydrogen and oxygen. Photoelectrolysis process efficiency is critical for energy-efficient hydrogen
production.)
Precision jetting and other advanced features of the FUJIFILM Dimatix Materials
Printer allowed the researchers to accurately determine droplet volumes of the
different compound gradients, the number of nozzles firing, the jetting waveform
for individual nozzles and the frequency of nozzle firing. “All of these parameters

The Dimatix Materials Printer, which was used with Dimatix Materials Cartridges
to jet 10-picoliter-sized droplets, also allowed the researchers to further optimize
the performance of the most promising metal oxide compounds by printing different spot densities or multiple layers in order to vary the thickness of the resulting
multicomponent metal oxide film; and to test entirely new compounds in a controlled fashion by adding other materials to the optimized composition.

research as to wide format graphics or printing on textiles.
Santa Clara, Calif.; March 7, 2008 – FUJIFILM Dimatix, Inc., today announced
its collaboration with Agilent Technologies Inc., to supply Agilent with innovative
inkjet products based on the latest semiconductor manufacturing technologies
for use in life sciences applications. Agilent, a technology leader in communications, electronics, life sciences and chemical analysis, uses the FUJIFILM
Dimatix inkjet technology to develop products that allow life scientists to more
efficiently target and analyze sequences of genetic material.
FUJIFILM Dimatix worked with Agilent to incorporate custom versions of the Dimatix Materials Cartridge (DMC) into Agilent’s life sciences applications. Specifically designed for R&D and feasibility testing, the unique cartridge-style printhead, based on FUJIFILM Dimatix’ patented Shaped Piezo Silicon™ MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, enables FUJIFILM Dimatix to develop printhead features and product families that are significantly smaller and
more versatile than anything else on the market.
“The shape of our MEMS-based printhead nozzles are extraordinarily precise,
and their absolute position on the silicon die permits higher drop placement accuracy over greater throw distances,” said John Higginson, Vice President Engineering, Deposition Products, FUJIFILM Dimatix. “The robust silicon structure
also lends itself to solid, reliable operation and long service life – all of which
are desirable attributes for building new printer architectures that can improve
inkjet’s performance in traditional applications, and out of the box applications,
such as Agilent’s.”
Because of the extremely small but precise structural geometries it produces, the
Shaped Piezo Silicon MEMS fabrication technique enables FUJIFILM Dimatix
to manufacture printheads capable of routinely jetting a broad range of fluids
with droplet sizes ranging from the 10 picoliters (10 trillionths of a liter) used in
precision graphics applications, to droplets containing the 1 pL – or less – that’s
required for precision materials deposition of specialty fluids.
Commenting on the innovative technology, Bill Peck, Senior Engineer and Writer
Technology Project Manager, Agilent said, “When we are building systems for
in-situ synthesis of molecules like DNA, we require a fluid deposition system
with outstanding precision, throughput, reliability and control. FUJIFILM Dimatix’
advanced inkjet technologies allow our products to flexibly deliver the superior
quality our customers expect from Agilent microarrays.”
“That precision, plus FUJIFILM Dimatix inkjet platform’s flexibility, figured prominently in our decision to base Agilent’s SurePrint inkjet technology on FUJIFILM
Dimatix inkjet technologies, and also to use their products as the basis for a major new product platform we plan to launch later this year. These actions speak
volumes about the reliability of the FUJIFILM Dimatix technology and the solid
273
working relationship Agilent has with FUJIFILM Dimatix in this development effort,” said Dr. Peck.
Martin Schoeppler, Vice President Marketing and Sales, Fujifilm Dimatix noted,
“Our relationship with Agilent has helped us advance the state of the art in inkjet
technology for applications extending far beyond its original roots in print production – to the outer reaches of materials deposition. Agilent’s use of FUJIFILM
Dimatix Shaped Piezo Silicon MEMS technology demonstrates its ability to be
applied as easily to life science research as to wide format graphics or printing on textiles. We couldn’t be more pleased to be working with Agilent on this
important and demanding application.”

FUJIFILM Dimatix Announces SAMBA™ Single Pass
Piezo DOD Inkjet Technology
New SAMBA™ technology breaks records for nozzle density, drop size, jetting
speed and scalability while achieving stability, uniformity and maintainability.
New technology enables SAMBA™ matrix printhead modules to be configured
end-to-end in SAMBA™ Print Bars to achieve high-quality, high-speed, single
pass jetting at 1,200 dpi for full color, 4 and 8 up press forms and beyond.
New SAMBA™ Print Bar attains color-to-color spacing of less than 50 millimeters
allowing four individual color or fluid channels to be located within a narrow 200
mm depth.
Santa Clara, Calif.; May 22, 2008 – FUJIFILM Dimatix today announced a newgeneration piezoelectric drop-on-demand (Piezo DOD) inkjet technology that
delivers the breakthrough quality, speed and scalability required for wide-width
single pass production inkjet printing and materials deposition applications.
Developed jointly by FUJIFILM Dimatix and FUJIFILM Corporation, the new
SAMBA™ inkjet technology utilizes Dimatix’ proprietary MicroElectroMechanical
Systems (MEMS) fabrication methods, VersaDrop™ multi-pulsing jetting capability and Meniscus Replenishment Technology. Collectively, these technologies
and other innovations enable printhead nozzles to be arranged in a matrix array
with improved meniscus formation and ink recirculation to provide unparalleled
stability, uniformity, maintainability and scalability in a compact package.
FUJIFILM Dimatix announces the companies’ new SAMBA™ technology will be
on display at Messe Düsseldorf in Hall 8b, stand B03. FUJIFILM Corporation is
demonstrating this technology in its new Digital Color Press also in Hall 8b, at
stand A25.
The first implementation of SAMBA™ inkjet technology is in a parallelogramshaped “printhead on a chip” that measures a mere 45 mm deep and packs
2048 jets per module at 1200 dot-per-inch spacing, and is capable of pulsing
fluids at up to 100,000 cycles/second (100 kHz) – the highest jetting frequencies
yet developed.
Owing to industry-first native drop volumes of 0.1, 1.0 and 2.0 picoliters (trillionths of a liter), made possible by FUJIFILM Dimatix’ advanced Shaped Piezo
Silicon™ MEMS fabrication methods, SAMBA™ printhead modules are constructed from robust inert materials and jet a wide variety of inks in grayscale using VersaDrop™ multi-pulse jetting capability at up to 1200 dpi resolution and at
production speeds for printing, photographic and display graphics applications.
The unique attributes of Shaped Piezo Silicon™ fabrication allow the printhead
module’s drop volume to be less than 1 picoliter, essential for small-feature materials deposition applications in both single pass and scanning architectures.
275
Because of its scalability, SAMBA™ technology enables many SAMBA™ printhead modules to be placed end-to-end to form a single, tightly integrated
SAMBA™ “Print Bar”. These SAMBA™ Print Bars can be varied in length to accommodate industry standard press sizes serving diverse printing applications
from multi-page signatures to large packaging designs. Multiple SAMBA™ Print
Bars can be configured in precisely aligned, adjacent clusters to enable highspeed single pass grayscale printing of multicolor inks and varnishes. Colorto-color spacing of less than 50 mm allows four individual color channels to be
located within a space of only 200 mm depth. SAMBA™ technology also allows
single pass micro-deposition of functional fluids used in manufacturing products
such as photovoltaic arrays, printable electronics and LCD displays.
“SAMBA™ inkjet technology enables a quantum leap that redefines how Piezo
DOD inkjet technology can be designed, manufactured and applied,” said Andreas Bibl, CTO of FUJIFILM Dimatix. “SAMBA™ technology marks the first extensible Piezo DOD inkjet design that truly delivers on the promise of wide-width,
high resolution, single pass, drop-on-demand inkjet without having to trade off
quality, redundancy or print width, and achieves it in an elegant, compact form.”

FUJIFILM Dimatix Technology Integration: Helping
companies incorporate the power of piezoelectric
drop-on-demand inkjet technology into their
manufacturing operations
As drop-on-demand inkjet technology grows in application and sophistication,
the number of companies that need more than just great piezo DOD inkjet technology and components has increased. Today, DTI is staffed by dedicated
teams of mechanical, electrical, chemical and software engineers who develop
and integrate custom-tailored inkjet solutions based on FUJIFILM Dimatix’ core
piezo DOD technology for a broad range of clients, fluids, applications and industries.
Santa Clara, CA, May 9, 2008 - Improvements in all types of drop-on-demand
inkjet technologies have hastened inkjet’s adoption in an increasing number of
applications, leading some industry observers to predict an “inkjet future” for
digital printing.
Although DTI engages with companies of any size who need the unique skills
the group offers, most clients fit the profile of large end-user organizations that
need systems designed and built to their specific requirements. Moreover these
systems must be tightly integrated to the customer’s unique operation, and they
must be industrially reliable.
But while inkjet is poised to become a mainstream technology for commercial printing, one form of the technology – piezoelectric drop-on-demand (Piezo
DOD) – is superbly positioned to dominate industrial applications that are well
within and far beyond the world of print production.
Unique Projects and Applications Often, the projects Dimatix Technology Integration teams work on make the customer’s product more valuable or give it an
edge in the market that allows the client to increase sales or gain market share.
But beyond that, these applications often defy characterization.
Piezo DOD is a proven industrial technology that’s been used in wide-format
printing and industrial marking and coding since the late 1980s. Over many
years, FUJIFILM Dimatix, Inc. (originally known as Spectra, Inc.) has improved
the technology’s speed, accuracy, consistency and reliability – making piezo
DOD suitable for a broad range of applications.
Every surface DTI clients print on is unique, the fluids they use are often unique
and their manufacturing environments are unique. DTI has developed singlepass inkjet systems that print on substrates as different as dough, liquid icing,
and other foods; many different types of plastics; durables like wood, ceramics
and metals; and cloths and synthetic fabrics.
The hallmark of FUJIFILM Dimatix’ proprietary implementation of piezoelectric
DOD inkjet technology is that it allows every jet on a FUJIFILM Dimatix printhead
to operate concurrently and at a high throughput rate – without trading off drop
placement accuracy – thereby enabling precision jetting at production speed.
In addition, the durable materials FUJIFILM Dimatix uses in their manufacture
allow the company’s patented printhead products to jet the broadest range of
inks and other fluids at sustained high frequencies.
Plus, there can be variations within the same class of substrates. The ‘media’
DTI clients ‘print’ on can be hot, cold, wet, dry, rough, smooth, delicate, sturdy,
porous, non-porous, rigid or flexible – depending on the manufacturing process,
and even where in the process inkjet can be integrated most advantageously.
Examples include digital decoration of chocolate and other baked goods, where
the edible colorants are often applied while foods are still warm; and frozen
treats, which are decorated while semi-solid prior to chilling.
Dimatix Technology Integration: Addressing Customers’ Unique Requirements
The same features that have allowed FUJIFILM Dimatix printheads to excel in
demanding printing applications also have made them attractive to a growing
number of manufacturers in industries beyond traditional print production.
Fluids Run the Gamut Just as there are differences in substrates and environments, fluids jetted also run the gamut. DTI has developed inkjet systems to
jet adhesives, conductive and dielectric inks; aqueous, solvent, and UV-curable
and hot-melt inks; masking inks including photoresists, etch resists, anti-scratch
and anti-glare compounds; enzymes, edible colorants and many other “functional fluids” – in addition to handling the full spectrum of inks used in the printing
industry.
In the printing industry, FUJIFILM Dimatix works with a renowned list of highly
capable OEMs and systems integrators to bring its technology to market. But
applying inkjet technology outside the printing industry poses a completely dif-
277
278

www.drupa.de
“FUJIFILM Dimatix inkjet technology is capable of handling fluids for a virtually
unlimited range of applications. And in many cases, successfully integrating
inkjet technology in the customer’s existing application requires as much knowledge of chemistry as it requires expertise in various engineering disciplines,”
says Dr. Richard Baker, an inkjet printing and fluids expert, PhD in Chemistry
and Director of Business Development for the FUJIFILM Dimatix Technology
Integration group.
“The challenge for DTI,” Baker explains, “lies in understanding how to integrate
FUJIFILM Dimatix inkjet technology so that it operates seamlessly within each
customer’s unique application and environment – whether that means fully operational on a high-speed production line, in a laboratory setting developing new
functional fluids, or prototyping new industrial, biological or electronics manufacturing processes.”
This uniqueness is distinctly different from commercial print production; where
paper products and two or three types of vinyl comprise the lion’s share of target
media; and where inks are many and varied, but fairly well known.
DTI Engineering Expertise To support these diverse industrial companies and
applications, DTI provides a range of services that help companies integrate
FUJIFILM Dimatix inkjet technology in their unique products or manufacturing
processes. These services can range from conducting initial feasibility work, to
providing broad assistance in designing, building and supporting fully functioning
custom production solutions based on FUJIFILM Dimatix’ proprietary printhead
technology.
Dimatix Technology Integration teams provide focused skill sets in the areas
of mechanical engineering, process control including industrial I/O, and in integration covering mechanical, electrical, industrial interface and ink components.
The group’s electrical engineering strengths include high-speed data paths, system control, end-user software, embedded systems programming, GUIs, image
flow and data processing. Customized electronics ensure optimal performance
of the systems designed or developed by DTI.
builds and supports are unique – designed to be embedded in manufacturers’
proprietary production lines. These “secondary processes” often add substantial value to the customer’s product, or enhance their production process – or
achieve both goals.
However, to make the inkjet system an integral part of the customer’s operation,
the DTI group often needs to develop semi-custom components, subsystems
and fluids.
Over time, DTI has built a veritable arsenal of semi-custom inkjet hardware subsystems that can be used in building custom systems based on FUJIFILM Dimatix inkjet technology, including three different types of controllers, 28 printing
clusters ranging in print width from 2.5 to 30 inches, electronic triggers, different
types of fluid delivery systems, and inks and other fluids.
The DTI group also offers complete production systems including multiple configurations of the Merlin™ FG, an industrial imaging system designed for nonimpact variable imaging and decoration of food products using edible food grade
colorants.
The Merlin FG can be configured with imaging hardware, control electronics
and fluid maintenance as an inline unit that’s fully integrated with the customer’s
existing food manufacturing line. Or it can be ordered as one or more standalone
production systems complete with conveyor.
For food decoration – which is one of DTI’s core strengths – the group also offers
a line of specially formulated FDA-compliant and Kosher certified Tapestry™
Food Colorants, which are designed and approved to print on a variety of food
products, including chocolate.
At Drupa 2008, the Technology Integration group is exhibiting a protypical inkjet
production system called the XP-200, which demonstrates how inkjet technology
can be used in industrial product decoration.
New Markets – and New Challenges FUJIFILM Dimatix products fall into two
categories: macroprinting and microprinting.
Because DTI’s technology often is used as one link in a manufacturing chain,
Technology Integration engineers also recognized early on the need to provide
ongoing post-installation support. For example, if a standalone printer stops, it
typically affects production of that individual job or printing process. But if a highspeed printing system used for decorating products feeding in from 16 production lines stops working, it can bring the entire production line down. Immediate
response to customers’ unique problems is as important as system reliability in
making sure the lines keep moving.
Macroprinting includes tried-and-true industrial inkjet applications such as wide
format printing, addressing, bar coding and newer applications such as product decoration and pill printing, as well as large-feature fluid deposition such as
scratch resistant coatings, adhesives and conductive and non-conductive patterning. Microprinting involves jetting droplets of picoliter-sized functional fluids
onto all types of surfaces. Microprinting fluids range from liquid silver used in
the fabrication of flexible electronic circuits, to organic ”inks” found in applications such as in creating and analyzing DNA arrays for the biosciences, among
many others.
Dimatix Technology Integration Systems Many of the systems DTI designs,
FUJIFILM Dimatix macroprinting innovations are already helping thrust inkjet
279
280
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
into contention for the future of digital printing. Now, the microprinting capabilities afforded by key technologies like FUJIFILM Dimatix’ Shaped Piezo Silicon™
MEMS fabrication are opening not just new markets, but new vistas for the company that are far afield of wide format printing and industrial marking and coding.
Piezo DOD inkjet for graphics printing certainly fits this basic definition. Graphics
printing involves depositing thin films of ink to form text and images of various
colors on paper, vinyl or similar substrates, thereby producing a visual experience.
“Whether companies are jetting ink, food colorants, neutraceuticals, conductive
silver or any other fluids, the challenge – and goal – of Dimatix Technology Integration is in understanding how to integrate FUJIFILM Dimatix inkjet technology
so that it operates seamlessly within each customer’s unique application and
environment.
Piezo DOD inkjet printheads are also fast and accurate. As an example,
precision-manufactured FUJIFILM Dimatix Spectra® brand printheads can jet
inks for industrial printing applications at frequencies exceeding 20,000 cycles/second (20 kHz) and at print speeds of one and a half (1.5) meters per
second. Each nozzle can fire ink droplets on demand, simultaneously on each
cycle and virtually without “crosstalk,” straight and true to their intended targets.
“And I would have to admit, we have become rather accomplished at meeting
both,” says Baker.
“We have the technology, the team, the track record and the tools to help industrial companies succeed.”

High-Tech Materials Deposition: The New Frontier for
Piezoelectric Drop-on-Demand Inkjet Technology
Santa Clara, Calif.; May 13, 2008 - Imagine manufacturing methods that operate at microscopic scales and are versatile enough to produce flexible printed
electronics, photovoltaic structures, flat panel displays, backplanes, RFIDs,
smart tags, sequences of genetic material, or chemical and biological sensors.
Welcome to materials deposition, the new frontier in high-technology manufacturing where the materials deposited can range from UV-curable light-emitting
polymers and conductive fluids to organic ”inks” and DNA, and where their thickness often must be controlled to within a few ten-millionths of a meter.
It’s also where inkjet, specifically drop-on-demand inkjet, or Piezo DOD – a technology traditionally associated with wide-format printing – is quickly finding acceptance on the materials deposition scene as a viable and often valuable manufacturing method.
Inkjet: The Perfect Deposition Technology Broadly defined, the practice of materials deposition involves any method used to deposit a thin film of material onto
a substrate or onto previously deposited layers on a substrate.
281
Plus compared to other deposition technologies, Piezo DOD inkjet has the
added advantage of eliminating manufacturing steps and reducing consumable
usage and chemical waste. As a digital technology, inkjet production startup
costs are comparatively low, and expensive materials like liquid silver and DNA
are optimized by jetting them only where they’re needed.
A Quantum Leap However, to compete in the rarefied atmosphere of hightechnology process manufacturing, Piezo DOD must be considerably more precise than the technology used for producing print.
For example, materials deposition demands droplet size tolerances exceeding
those used for print production by orders of magnitude. Instead of jetting ink at
the 30 to 80 picoliter droplet sizes common to print production, high-technology
materials deposition routine.
High tech materials deposition also requires inkjet printheads to handle a comparatively wide variety of fluids for a virtually unlimited range of applications, onto
a broader range and type of substrates and at temperatures that often must be
controlled more closely.
Traditional Piezo DOD inkjet, in short, had to take a quantum leap to be suitable
for handling high-tech materials deposition.
The Shaped Piezo Silicon™ MEMS Breakthrough At Drupa in May 2004, FUJIFILM Dimatix (then known as Spectra, Inc.) introduced its breakthrough Shaped
Piezo Silicon™ MEMS fabrication technology. MicroElectroMechanical Systems, or MEMS, is an advanced manufacturing method that uses techniques
similar to those used in fabricating integrated circuits to create ultra-miniature
inkjet structures within silicon.
In developing the Shaped Piezo Silicon™ method, FUJIFILM Dimatix took
MEMS technology one step further. By manufacturing an entire printhead assembly on a silicon wafer – basically a printhead on a chip – the Shaped Piezo
Silicon™ method produced a new generation of printheads capable of supporting a wide range of fluids from traditional inks to various functional fluids such

as nanoparticle-based metallic materials.
with traditional product development and prototyping.
Unlike some deposition methods, which flood a surface with functional fluids,
inkjet is both precise and additive, able to deposit the exact amount of material
at the exact locations where it is needed, without waste. This precision makes
it unnecessary to image and pattern, etch and recover waste material – dramatically enhancing inkjet’s attractiveness for use with aggressive, conductive and
reactive fluids and coatings that often must be deposited at precision locations
and in precisely controlled amounts.
The Dimatix Materials Cartridge is a cartridge-based inkjet printhead used with
the DMP and available in 1 pl and 10 pl drop volumes. Based on FUJIFILM Dimatix’ proprietary Shaped Piezo Silicon™ MEMS technology, the 16-jet Dimatix
Materials Cartridge is designed for high-resolution, non-contact jetting of functional fluids in a broad range of applications. The industry-first 1 pl cartridge can
deposit features as small as 20 μm (20 millionths of a meter) to fabricate products
such as organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) and printed circuits. In biotechnology,
the Dimatix Materials Cartridge allows researchers to closely pack large numbers of elements in DNA arrays, to permit more accurate and efficient analyses.
FUJIFILM Dimatix has shipped more than 25,000 Dimatix Materials Cartridges
since its introduction.
FUJIFILM Dimatix’ advance in manufacturing engineering transformed Piezo
DOD from a method primarily suited for industrial print production to one that
also offers unique possibilities and advantages for materials deposition and nanotechnology manufacturing.
Building in a New Direction To commercialize its breakthrough technology, in
May 2005 FUJIFILM Dimatix formally opened its Silicon Valley headquarters,
complete with its Advanced Development Center and silicon MEMS fabrication
facility in Santa Clara, California. In June 2005, the company, founded in 1984
as Spectra, Inc., was renamed as Dimatix to reflect its expansion into digital
materials deposition.
The company’s patented Piezo DOD inkjet printheads already were known the
world over for their ability to sustainably jet ink and many other fluids at high
frequencies and with exceptional precision, without trading off drop placement
accuracy; and for their high duty cycles and long life – traits that allow OEMs and
systems integrators to design advanced systems for industrial print production
that are fast, reliable and economical.
FUJIFILM Dimatix Materials Deposition Products The Materials Deposition
group continues to leverage FUJIFILM Dimatix’ industry-leading ink jet technology and silicon MEMS fabrication processes to develop and produce highperformance precision printhead products and systems for depositing picolitersized droplets of functional fluids such as nanoparticle liquid silver and organic
inks on all types of surfaces.
The Dimatix Materials Printer (DMP) is a bench-top materials deposition system
designed for micro-precision jetting a variety of functional fluids onto virtually
any surface, including plastic, glass, ceramics, and silicon, as well as flexible
substrates from membranes, gels, and thin films to paper products. A complete turnkey system, the DMP facilitates developing and testing manufacturing
processes and product prototypes. It also can be used for low-volume manufacturing of products from flexible circuits, RFID tags and displays to DNA arrays,
and wearable electronics. By employing single-use cartridges that researchers
can fill with their own fluid materials, the DMP system minimizes waste of expensive fluid materials, thereby eliminating the cost and complexity associated
283
The SX3 Printhead is a highly compact and lightweight hybrid jetting assembly
designed specifically for micro-fluid deposition. The SX3 delivers a precise 10 pl
drop size through 128 inline jets that can be individually tuned. A silicon nozzle
plate with a non-wetting coating is compatible with the aggressive fluids used in
electronics and other fabrication applications.
The SE3 Printhead similar to the SX3 is a compact and lightweight hybrid jetting
assembly designed for precise drop placement of a slightly larger drop. The SE3
delivers a 35 pl calibrated drop size through 128 inline jets that can be individually
tuned. The silicon nozzle plate has a non-wetting coating and is compatible with
the aggressive fluids used in electronics and other fabrication applications.
For its achievement of the Dimatix Materials Printer, FUJIFILM Dimatix in 2006
was awarded a Nano 50™ Award from Nanotech Briefs® magazine, placing it
in an elite group of technologies, products, and innovators that have or will significantly impact key nanotechnology markets, from automotive and electronics
to biomedical and materials.
Also in 2006, FUJIFILM Dimatix was presented with the first-ever Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal Emerging Technology Award, which it won in the
Biotechnology category for its development of the DMP. The Emerging Technology Awards recognize Silicon Valley companies creating and bringing to market
cutting-edge technologies that have the potential to profoundly impact people
and businesses.
The strength of FUJIFILM Dimatix’ core inkjet printhead technologies, plus its
development of Shaped Piezo Silicon™ MEMS and the Dimatix Materials Printer
and Cartridge, is helping move materials deposition out of the lab and into the
main stream by using new methods to fabricate a new generation of products
not possible only a few years ago.

FUJIFILM Dimatix Technology Used to Pioneer Inkjet
Fabrication of Highly Efficient Solar Cells
Photovoltaic innovator Konarka Technologies reports manufacturing breakthrough using FUJIFILM Dimatix inkjet technology for advanced materials deposition.
Santa Clara, Calif.; March 27, 2008 – FUJIFILM Dimatix, the world’s leading
supplier of drop-on-demand inkjet printheads for industrial applications, today
announced that its cartridge-based Dimatix Materials Printer (DMP) has been
used in the world’s first known demonstration of inkjet technology for manufacturing photovoltaic solar cells.
The use of inkjet technology to fabricate the highly efficient solar energy cells
has been called a “breakthrough” by Konarka Technologies, Inc. of Lowell, Massachusetts, which innovated the development and commercialization of Power
Plastic®, a material that converts light to energy.
“Demonstrating the use of inkjet printing technology as a fabrication tool for
highly efficient solar cells and sensors with small area requirements is a major milestone,” commented Rick Hess, president and CEO of Konarka. “This
essential breakthrough in the field of printed solar cells positions Konarka as an
emerging leader in printed photovoltaics,” Hess said.
Researchers from Konarka Technologies published the results of using FUJIFILM Dimatix inkjet technology as a fabrication tool for the controlled deposition
of its photovoltaic material in the journal, Advanced Materials (Volume 19, Issue
22, Pages 3973-3978). According to the company, the demonstration confirms
that organic solar cells can be processed with printing technologies with little
or no loss compared to “clean room” semiconductor technologies such as spin
coating. In addition, inkjet technology is very promising for fabricating photovoltaics because it is compatible with various substrates and it does not require
additional patterning.

Gandinnovations; Stable and Opaque, GUV White Inks.
Gandinnovations a world leader in grand format digital printer innovation, today
has launched a new high density UV curable white ink that allows printing on
many colored rigid substrates and achieve a brilliant white in one pass without
any shadow effect. This new white also has much better adhesion to many
rigid materials including corrugated plastic, styrene, PVC, acrylic and even other
exotic substrates like metals, leather, brown cardboard stock and many more.
Additionally, the GUV (Gandi UV) white ink can be used as a “spot” color to bring
into focus certain parts of an image printed on colored substrates and even on
transparent media.
Gandinnovations has also made this new white with using a very flexible formula
so it will not crack even when the rigid substrate is bent 360 degrees. This gives
the flexibility to use it in many applications. We have also used excellent white
pigments to give good outdoor life without discoloring and cracking. And just
like all our UV-curable inks, the GUV White ink is a 100% solvent-free formulation using only the safest radiation curable raw materials that does not result in
the emission of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) making it both safe to use
and environmentally friendly thereby reducing worker exposure to hazardous
substances and environmental pollution.
293
This specially formulated white ink developed at Gandinnovations features a
unique chemistry that imparts excellent adhesion, flexibility and outdoor durability. The proprietary manufacturing process and additives used to produce this
UV white ink makes it possible to disperse more pigment into the formula while
still keeping a stable sub-micron white ink suspension. This means that it is now
possible to achieve greater opacity with less amounts of ink laid down with one
print pass, where competitive UV curable white inks usually require more ink laid
down and more than one print pass.
Gandi’s innovative and world-renowned UV product portfolio, comprising the
Jeti1224 true flatbed has a 4ft x 8ft print area, Jeti 2030 X-2 true flatbed has
a 6ft 6” x 10ft (2 x 3 meter) print area, and Jeti3150 X-2 true flatbed has a 5ft x
10ft print area. All our UV True Flatbed Printers provide an economic advantage
to the customer and create a complete printing solution that ensures full system
compatibility.

Jean-Claude Pautrat, product management director at Goss International, explains the benefits of this unique technology: ”Before this technical improvement, high speeds were only possible by sending consecutive copies through
an upper and lower chopper. Now, through a combination of technology innovations including a new tape transport system with copy control devices, optimized
chopper balancing, vacuum slow-down, enhanced guides and optimized delivery, we have been able to eliminate one chopper for a streamlined and more
efficient folding operation.”
With just one chopper (or quarterfold) to adjust, the new Goss folder ensures
that fold precision consistency is extremely accurate from the first copy to the
last. Eliminating the necessity for two choppers additionally means less setting,
easier access and less maintenance, maximizing the functionality of the M-600
press.
Additional features of the Goss JF-65 SQF folder include a web severing device
for paper jams; motorized on-the-run depth and lateral adjustment of the perforation; circumferential phasing and fold lap adjustment; a three-part jaw folding
cylinder to accommodate various paper stock thicknesses; and a rotary blade
quarterfold assembly. Greater production flexibility is provided by the automatic
product changeover capability that enables the fold to be changed in less than
two minutes.
”Easy to maintain and operate and with less waste produced, this folder has been
designed specifically to provide a very smooth path for ensuring high-quality final
products,” concludes Pautrat. ”By eliminating the second chopper we have simplified the folding process and increased production efficiency through a combination of built-in quality control and user-friendly features.”

Goss International announces drupa 2008 lineup
lands, and a triple-width FPS press will be installed in the United States following
drupa.
March 5th, 2008 – With the theme New Ways for Print, Goss International
will demonstrate innovative technologies, unique opportunities and an expanded
application range for web offset production at drupa 2008.
A new Goss press system will be in full operation at the show, incorporating
technologies that create a unique and highly productive alternative for some
traditional sheetfed applications. Additional printing unit exhibits on the Goss
International stand in hall 17 will include Magnum 4, Uniliner, FPS and Sunday
4000 models, all with new features and capabilities. The company will also highlight the world’s first 96-page Sunday 5000 web press and demonstrate its latest
Magnapak and Pacesetter finishing systems.
“Goss innovations like our M-600, Uniliner, Sunday, and FPS press platforms and DigiRail, Ecocool, Autoplate and Pacesetter technologies have been
groundbreaking highlights of recent drupa shows,” explains Goss International
CEO Bob Brown. “We will extend this record of technology leadership this year
and emphasize how we are working with companies of all sizes and requirements to create unique new opportunities.”
Goss Uniliner and Magnum presses remain cornerstones of the Goss International portfolio and popular choices for versatile newspaper and semicommercial applications worldwide. New Uniliner features demonstrated at
drupa will include automated plate changing. A four-page Magnum press tower
will be displayed with a new level shaftless drive system and three-form inker.
“The drupa show is about the aspirations of printers and publishers poised to
take their operations – and the print medium itself – to new levels of productivity, competitiveness and value,” according to Brown. “Global resources, an
expansive product and service portfolio, and innovative technology differentiate
Goss International and put us in the best position to support these aspirations.”

Short runs, wide webs, advanced automation
New technologies aimed at shorter run lengths and higher pagination will be
among the Goss International developments at drupa. The company will profile installations that are utilizing its exclusive Automatic Transfer (AT) Sunday
presses for continuous printing. More than a dozen presses with the Autoplate
and Automatic Transfer technology combination are now in operation worldwide,
including eight-unit presses that complete full-color job changes on the fly.
Goss International will also exhibit key technologies of the new 96-page Sunday
5000 press and present simulations showing how its gapless blanket technology,
precision machining and cooperation with auxiliary and consumables suppliers
enable the wider platform. The first Sunday 5000 press will be installed in Italy
later this year with a web width of 2860 millimeters (112 inches).

Goss International will demonstrate new ‘sheetfed
alternative’ press at drupa
March 25th 2008 – Goss International will demonstrate an all-new printing concept at drupa 2008, unleashing significant productivity and economic advantages for the production of high-quality, B1-format sheeted products.
The Goss web press system with M-600 printing units and innovative new
sheeter technology will operate at up to 30,000 sheets per hour at drupa. The
new sheeter, developed exclusively in partnership with VITS, will allow web printing on coated stocks with standard sheetfed inks, but without a dryer.
Compact and versatile newspaper presses
“The potential to produce equivalent products at much higher speeds than with
a sheetfed press, with a competitive investment cost and labor requirement,
presents a strong alternative for many applications,” according to Goss International CEO Bob Brown. “This press is another indication of our focus on innovations that enable printers to differentiate themselves and achieve competitive
advantages.”
The compact Goss FPS press, first introduced at drupa 2004, will again be featured with slide-apart units, cut-off change capabilities and a wide range of webwidth and ribbon options. The first FPS system now prints two million coldset, heatset and combined products weekly at Independent News and Media
in Northern Ireland. A second installation is currently underway in The Nether-
The M-600 ‘perfecting’ press will be in live production at drupa alongside other
Goss International innovations. Demonstrations will emphasize high print quality, fast makereadies, low waste and agility at extremely short run lengths. To
deliver these capabilities, the press will include a system of integrated and automated features for paper handling, presetting, plate changing and continuous
Comprehensive Goss Web Center workflow systems for commercial and newspaper applications will also be demonstrated at drupa, including new automation
and waste reduction features.

sheet stacking.
Engineers from VITS and Goss International developed the new sheeter technology to cut and handle sheets at high speeds without the requirement of a
dryer and to provide advanced control of anti set-off applications.
“In developing this unique press, we started with the objective of making it faster,
easier and less costly to print high-quality sheeted products,” explains JeanClaude Pautrat, product management director for Goss International. “We analyzed sheetfed and web offset workflows and integrated advantages from both,
from paper supply, impression mechanisms, automated functions and auxiliaries
to the creation of precisely aligned stacks of perfected sheets.”
Blanket-to-blanket printing with the M-600 units allows the entire sheet format of
up to 700 x 1020 mm (27.5 x 40 inches) to be utilized, eliminating the non-print
gutters required in the sheetfed perfecting process.
productivity web offset alternative for producing up to B1-format sheeted products. The system utilizes M-600 printing units, sheetfed inks and new sheeter
technology developed in partnership with VITS to print on coated stocks without
a dryer.
The press printed 30,000 high-quality perfected sheets per hour during the predrupa demonstration at the Goss International facility.
”This was a very tough audience that has to believe in the press and be able to
promote it with confidence,” explains Jean Claude Pautrat, product management
director for Goss International. ”Their satisfaction with the demonstration was a
key milestone. We are excited about going to drupa with another truly innovative
Goss technology that creates new opportunities for our customers.”
‘Goss’, the Goss logo, ‘Goss International’ and ‘M-600 Folia’, are registered
trademarks or trademarks of Goss International Corporation.
Without the requirement of a dryer, the length of the new press is equal to that of
an 8-unit long perfector. Additional M-600 units can be added for special colors
and varnishes.

M-600 press options include Goss Autoplate automatic plate changing and DigiRail digital inking technologies, comprehensive closed-loop controls, and the

Egyptian leading daily newspaper contracts GWS to
build complete printing facility
One of the leading Egyptian daily newspapers Al Masry Al Youm has signed
a contract with GWS for a turnkey project and the set up of a complete printing
operation in 6th of October, a city located near Cairo.
GWS’ area sales executive, Arthur Viguurs, responsible for the Middle East market: “In line with the company’s philosophy to explore a new business model, we
are pleased that Al Masry Al Youm has contracted us for the consultancy project
management and delivery of a newspaper printing press system including all
required auxiliaries and project supervising”. Early 2007 Al Masry Al Youm contacted GWS to discuss its plans for establishing its own printing operation in the
Cairo area. Currently the production is sub-contracted to a printer in Egypt, but
due to a new business strategy Al Masry Al Youm is now in need of increasing
the colour pagination circulation and achieving better deadlines for the production of its newspaper title. In close consultation with IFRA and GWS a plan was
made on how to achieve this challenging target. We have convinced Al Masry Al
309
310
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
Youm to be the right partner for the overall consultancy and project management
in the field of building layout, infrastructure, pre-press, press mailroom and even
the submission of a qualified manager to manage and run the printing facilities
once the equipment has been installed and commissioned.
Early 2008 we signed a contract with Al Masry Al Youm for this entire operation.
The heart of the project, being the supply of a double width newspaper press,
is already in full swing. A MAN Mediaman press has already been dismantled
at a newspaper printer in Italy and is currently being prepared for shipment to
Cairo. In the meantime, a skilled team of GWS project managers is taking care
of all communication with the architect in Egypt regarding building infrastructure,
cooling, air conditioning and remaining auxiliary equipment. GWS also acts as
the advisor and supplier of all pre-press equipment, post press equipment and
skilled staff for installation, training and taking into production of the entire printing operation. The MAN Mediaman press system is expected to be supplied in
the summer of 2008.

Life in a changing industry
The graphic industry is changing. Just open one of the trade press magazines,
or follow the media; there is no way we can deny that our industry is changing
rapidly. Magazine and retail printers are replacing their 8 and 16 page presses
for high pagination faster machines and newspaper publishers are focusing on
outsourcing the printing part of their business and attracting new readers. The
printed products are appearing in full colour and the keywords for the new newspaper press configuration seem to be flexibility and hybrid.
It almost seems as if this change of industry came as an overnight surprise.
However, is this really the case? Have we not all been living in luxury for a little
bit too long and did we not neglect the first signals of a changing industry many
years ago when internet started to attract young people? Were we not too slow
in changing the traditional newspaper houses into market driven organisations
capable of giving the reader what he was really looking for? The answer to these
questions can probably be found in the reaction of our industry to the changing
market circumstances. It has all the signs of a panic reaction and as we all know,
it is a lot nicer to build up a company in a growing market than slimming down
an organisation because the market is dictating to do so. This is especially the
case in those companies that have traditionally been too far removed from their
customers, in which overheads have been growing out of control, flexibility disappeared and internal costs grew out of proportion. In practice the introduction
of free newspapers has visualised this situation painfully.
However, there is a very positive side effect. Many years ago, we saw exactly the
same situation; all of a sudden the traditional airlines got competition from the low
311
cost carriers. These new young energetic organisations introduced a different
model and as a result the traditional airlines had to change their business model
too and under pressure of the changing market circumstances they started a
process of reorganisation and learned how they again could get closer to their
customers. After many years we can now clearly see that there is a market for
both models which should be considered as a positive outcome after all.
So, is there a future for print? Yes of course, but we have to create it ourselves.
Printers and suppliers to the industry will have to adapt to the changing market
situation. There is a future and we have to create it. To complain and look back
at the beautiful past does not help us. We as suppliers have to focus on offering
cost-effective complete solutions for pre-press, press, post press and service
so that publishers and printers can focus on their core business; publishing and
printing!
Graphic Web Systems is ready to adapt and as a matter of fact we already
started this process many years ago. In competition to the press manufacturers
supplying complete and flexible press systems manufactured in a more economic way and sometimes in low cost countries, we have seen a decrease in
supply of completely remanufactured press systems. Our new focus is and will
be to offer our customers a complete solution for pre-press, press and post press
systems including the required consultancy, overall project management, logistics, training and services by contract. In other words, we have changed our
business model from a traditional vertical organisation, focussing on the technology of the printing press in technical detail, to a more horizontal organisation with
focus on the supply of a total solution to publishers and printers from planning,
logistics and building, up to and including installation and training on site. We
truly believe that this is a business model with enormous potential. The added
value for our customers lays in the fact that we take over the entire process from
consultancy, decision making, implementation, installation and starting up an
entire print house and surrounding auxiliaries. Through our daughter company
Graphic Web Services we will be in the position to organise maintenance and
service activities on a contract basis so that our customers can fully focus on their
core business. The market has reacted in a positive way and the first projects
we have launched according to this model proved to be a success. To a certain extend, we have been surprised that we received such a positive feedback.
However, our customers opened our eyes and made us aware of the fact that
we do have an enormous in-house knowledge after having been in the industry
for such a long time. We are probably one of the best advisors/consultants in
the industry because of our extensive knowledge of various brands of machinery and practical know-how. We probably employ some of the best technicians
in the industry; during our re-manufacturing processes we have learned from all
the design failures in press components. Our technicians have developed many
modifications to improve existing technology. In the meantime, our organisation
312
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
employs specialists in pre-press and post press which makes us one of the best
partners to talk to in case publishers/printers want to improve their process in a
practical and economical way. Are we still used machinery suppliers? Yes, we
are! For many years this has been and will remain our core business. Meanwhile, we do a lot more and we are proud that most of our valued customers
recognise us as the solution providers, because that is in fact what we are; the
providers of complete solutions to the graphic industry. Do we believe in the future? Absolutely, we are positive about it. Looking back at how beautiful the past
has been will neither help us, nor our customers. We are growing and changing
which is a dynamic process and we will continue to invest in products that our
customers are looking for. We are the solution providers.

Successes for Graphic Web Systems in the USA
In line with the targets as set for 2007, Graphic Web Systems has seen a clear
increase of its market position in the North American market. After the sale of
a KBA C213 commercial press to Colorweb in New Jersey, GWS has now also
successfully taken into production the MAN Rotoman M at the quality printer
Hartley Press in Jacksonville, Florida.
However, the most fancy and prestigious deal certainly is the sale of a Berliner
size double width newspaper press to the world’s leading publisher and printer
Gannett. In December 2007 Gannett signed a contract with GWS for the supply
of a double width Berliner size newspaper printing press for their location in
Shreveport, Louisiana. The Gannett management: ”We have selected Graphic
Web Systems as supplier because of their in-house knowledge and expertise in
the field of used web offset equipment and their capability of providing us with a
turn-key project solution.”
The Wifag OF790 press system comprises 4 full colour printing towers, 2 folders and 6 reel stands. The press is currently in operation in Switzerland and
will be dismantled in 2008 and transported to the facilities of GWS in Schijndel, The Netherlands. There the press will be modified to accommodate the
specific wishes of Gannett for web width reduction, configuration updates and
electronic modifications. Upon completion of the technical work, the press will
be transported to the United States in the spring of 2009, after which it will be
installed and taken into production at the newly built printing plant of The Times
in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Eric van Kessel, Commercial director of GWS: ”With the supply of this press
Graphic Web Systems confirms its ambition to strengthen its position in the
North American market. After the installation of 2 heatset presses for commer-
313
cial printing in 2007, we are proud to have been selected as the supplier of a
major newspaper printing press to a leading US publisher.”
The press system at Gannett is planned to be in operation in the first quarter of
2010.

Roto Smeets Weert decides for a M600-C24
Roto Smeets Weer (RSW), member of the Roto Smeets De Boer Group
(RSDB), has decided to invest in a Heidelberg M600-C24 heatset press. This
M600-C24 replaces an existing M600, installed in 1992 at RSW and will be used
as a cover-press to print several Sanomat glossy magazines.
The 16 pages heatset press M600-C24 has a maximum speed of 55.000 cph.
and is configures with 5 printing units. The fifth unit can also be used as a varnish
unit for the covers. GWS will connect RSW’s present sheeter on the M600-C24.
The M600 is further equipped with the autoplate system, Oxy Dry RO blanket
wash system, a JF-55 combination folder (system: 1:3:3:2), equipped with cross
and length perforation, former fold, 1st cross fold, quarter fold, double parallel
and delta fold.
The press is currently being cleaned and repainted at the GWS facilities in Schijndel and is scheduled to be taken into production in May 2008.

Mitte Mai einen neuen Namen: ”advanter”. Der neue Name basiert auf dem englischen Wort „advantage“ und soll den Vorteil für den Anwender repräsentieren.
Die beliebte Business-Lösung war inzwischen so umfangreich geworden, dass
der Name PRAKTIKUS dem riesigen Leistungsspektrum nicht mehr gerecht
wurde. Auch vielfältige Reaktionen im Markt veranlassten dazu, über einen
neuen Namen für die erfolgreiche und moderne Software nachzudenken.
advanter ist technisch und inhaltlich nach wie vor die professionelle Softwarelösung (ERP, CRM, CAQ) mit mehr als 50 Business-Modulen für den flexiblen
Einsatz in unterschiedlichsten Unternehmen. Vor der Umbenennung wurden
einige neue Features für advanter entwickelt.
NAVI STACKS – alles schnell im Überblick advanter erhält eine neue Navigationsleiste. Sie gibt einen direkten Überblick über eingegangene Mails, anstehende
Termine und Aufgaben, Anwendungshinweise, die der User/Administrator selbst
erstellen kann, und vieles mehr.

An Executive Information System (EIS) is defined as a management system
which offers decision-makers relevant and up-to-date information via intuitive
and customizable user interfaces. An EIS promotes communication, provides
current data, filters out irrelevant data, and presents information which is important for decision-making. “In such a system, information about all aspects of
the company is gathered from internal and external sources, and subsequently
processed and presented to management in a format suitable for senior executives“, explains Stefan Reichhart. „Since EIS evolved from reporting, it can
present both summary and detailed data views.” Rather than help prepare a
decision, EIS is used for initiating decision-making processes. In addition to
passive searches for relevant information, early warning systems which alert
management to special situations and unusual data configurations, are gaining
importance.
Nothing without a Database
HIFLEX GmbH
Hiflex Information Cockpit EIS
The Hiflex EIS (Executive Information System) leadership tool supports management decision-making processes
If the term Management Information System (MIS) is to replace the rather bland
term Business Software, it has to live up to its name and truly provide management with information - quickly and at a glance. With its Information Cockpit EIS
(Executive Information System), Hiflex has expanded its MIS to let management
view the key company data at a glance.
”If used correctly, information is a key success factor. However, gathering information does not necessarily mean sifting through huge piles of records or
papers. Information gathering can be automated,” says Stefan Reichhart, CEO
of Hiflex GmbH. Which is why the Hiflex MIS now includes an EIS system as information cockpit. “With the increasing volume of data and the use of database
systems, management wants to have direct access to data that supports their
leadership function. However, management information systems alone cannot
meet this requirement. Still, management at various levels should be given both
detailed and summary information from the operational database of the management information systems.” Key requirements include standardized reports,
the availability of information at all management levels, and up-to-date summary
335
From the very outset, the Hiflex business software has been using databases.
Even though it developed into a management information system some time
ago, the approach is still the same. The Hiflex MIS has always provided all relevant analyses of sales, orders, orders not received, or statistical data for sales,
contribution margin, and added value planning virtually at the push of a button.
Yet all of the relevant information had to be generated manually. With the integrated EIS system, Hiflex has created an information cockpit, configured for
specific Hiflex user groups, which processes analyses as dynamically generated
tables and graphics. “EIS is basically a Controlling instrument,” explains Stefan
Reichhart, “but not just for Controlling or Management. As we see it, technical
staff members or schedulers are also decision-makers who need correct and important information to do their jobs. We call this role-based or individual-based
analysis. After all, an employee who works in scheduling or in the warehouse
needs different information than top management.” The Hiflex MIS focusses on
providing company metrics which are updated daily. Using appropriate navigation tools, the user can work with different databases and either call up a broad
range of data or drill down for more specific information. “The user interface is
not complicated and can be used intuitively. It offers a flexible design that can be
customized according to user preference, i.e. it can display more or less text or
graphics,” Stefan Reichhart explains. A wide variety of display modes are available for quick data viewing: dynamic line, bar, or combined line-bar diagrams,
various pie, ring or scatter diagrams, and radar diagrams, maps, graphic representations, and tables – whichever is most meaningful and understandable.
Maximum Flexibility
336
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
“In every case, the information cockpit (substantially) increases data transparency for the executive. Immediately after logging on to the system, the executive can view key data on business activity, utilization, deadlines, etc. without
having to first generate a report,” Stefan Reichhart continues. “In addition, the
system administrator can edit individual tables and program masks. This turns
data into dynamic tables or graphics.” The Hiflex MIS can generate a virtually limitless number of tables with almost any number of columns. However, presenting this amount of data on a screen would be confusing and counterproductive.
Instead, if a table has about 50 columns, only the truly relevant ones - perhaps
about ten - will be shown and can be viewed on the user’s screen by entering
the coordinates at the desired location. With the flexible Hiflex user interface,
which can be freely modified, all other data will be hidden, but remain active in
the background. This is particularly helpful for linking tables for the EIS. The
EIS can provide information on sales activities by listing summary data for the
entire year and for individual sectors or customers. Management is now able
to trace data back to a specific day to analyze information, such as seasonal
correlations, and select different views, such as sales analyses broken down by
selected criteria.
EIS is already part of the Hiflex MIS 2008 release.

Estimation and Imposition with Hiflex - About the
essential meaning of a powerful business software at
the forefront of integration
Among all of the euphoria surrounding integration and JDF, one point cannot
be overlooked: a company has to do its “homework” prior to a successful implementation. Because JDF, or the associated effects of integration, cannot be
purchased – each company has to lay the foundation by planning, developing,
and organizationally preparing the requirements for themselves. This is based
on the structural gathering of internal procedures and the corresponding figures,
as well as business software that can administer and display the necessary internal business functions. “A JDF integration depends primarily on whether the
business software can map complex estimates in an operation with technical
accuracy,” says Stefan Reichhart, Hiflex CEO and expert on modern workflows
and JDF integrations. In other words: what good is the most stylized integration (however highly automated), if the basis, estimate, materials management,
scheduling, and other areas do not work, or only work imperfectly?
MIS as Expert System
It all sounds logical and comprehensible. But this means that all products, machines, materials, hourly rates, performance data, and work processes in the
company need to be recognized and monetarily evaluated. Only then does it
337
really make sense to utilize a Management Information System (MIS). As the
name already indicates, an MIS serves to manage the information. But it can
only do so, when one “feeds” the system data for it to calculate and derive relevant information. Stefan Reichhart describes this as follows: “The Hiflex system
is an expert system. It can be fundamentally compared to a plant manager who,
based on his experience, finds the best possible production method for each
product. This experience is configured in the Hiflex system using logic parameters, so the system can independently select the best production method based
on the product definition.”
A Philosophy Similar to CIP4 Specifications
The Hiflex business software philosophy is based on the following considerations and facts. A print product that needs to be estimated and produced generally contains two essential levels: 1. The product definition describes the structure of the print product to be produced. 2. The process definition describes the
production methods.
The product definition includes information about the product type, number of
pages, final format, color, and paper type, as well as special processing forms
or refinements. In the process, a print product is divided into various product
components such as cover and content. This is necessary if inks or print substrates vary according to specific product components. The process definition
is derived from the product definition, because the positions essential for production are already preset through the definition of the product components and
volume. In the process definition, for example, the signatures are defined for
which a 28-page content can be produced. This is ultimately dependant on the
operational production facilities, which are, in turn, determined by the machinery available. Only then are the necessary individual processes defined (such
as imposition, proof, plate exposure, production run, refinement, and finishing.)
This approach to a print product is nearly identical to the JDF specifications.
“This initially has little influence on the pricing, but is a huge advantage if the
quote becomes an order,” asserts Stefan Reichhart. “Therefore, requirements
such as various products, options and runs within the estimate, gang runs, and
complicated processing steps must be authentically represented and stored in
the JDF format, along with the imposition scheme.”
Auto-Pilot
Through this philosophy, it is possible to view the process definition in a tree
structure immediately after entering the product definition in the input screen.
In the Hiflex estimate, several end products with any number of product components can be constructed. Individual product components can be placed on
gang runs with the same substrates and inks or produced as an individual run.
After the product to be estimated is described (number of pages, format, color,
338
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
and substrate), the system automatically generates the entire production plan. In
the process, the system accesses operational knowledge stored in the system’s
decision tables. “Our customers report that about 80 percent of all estimates
can be processed using this automation,” states Reichhart.
Hiflex Estimate
With its business software, Hiflex offers automated estimation and job planning
of nearly all areas of printing and processing technology. Sheetfed and web offset products can be estimated along with the production of labels, folding boxes,
flexography, screen printing, and digital printing. The various printing and finishing processes can also be combined within an estimate. The following areas are
incorporated in the estimate: prepress (with individual processes), printing, finishing, and outside services, as applicable. Large products can also be detailed
using the flexible input structure – the creation of the production plan is fully automated with the “Auto-Pilot” function (see above). The expert knowledge required
to calculate the production plan is entered into editable logic parameters (tables).
These parameters allow the user to customize the system at any time to suit the
company’s data and requirements. Moreover, access to a comprehensive paper database facilitates price comparisons. Customer data (such as agency
and/or agents’ commissions, discounts, and credit history) is automatically applied. The estimate enables access to customer-specific parameters and price
lists. The system can apply individual material prices, hourly rates, and outside
service rates for each customer. In addition to the free input of cost positions,
the cost increases / decreases can be defined for individual areas (such as the
material for a specific production stage). Furthermore, the subtotals are constantly displayed using freely defined cost groups (such as the added value of a
specific production stage). The cost overview can be individually configured. A
full cost accounting is therefore just as possible as a fragmenting of the variable
costs or a differentiated contribution margin accounting. This enables the company to react individually to the market structure. An integrated quote generator
processes the quote, automatically transferring the estimate data into Microsoft
Word or a comparable system without the data having to be entered again.
Estimate and Product Planning in One Step
Nearly all providers of business software utilize the “tree structure.” The unique
part of the Hiflex tree structure is that individual nodes can be brought together.
Signatures can be positioned on gang runs, split through cutting, and later
merged back together in the saddle stitcher or perfect binder. Through this
method the production process is not only understood at a glance, but also
mapped authentically and with technical accuracy. Ultimately, the estimate is
the basis for the job ticket, scheduling, historic costing, and, last but not least,
the JDF-based control of the production machines. As the preliminary costing
forms the basis of subsequent production planning and control, it is essential
339
that the system exactly regulate production routing during the preliminary costing. The time values applied from the Hiflex estimate are available for electronic
scheduling (and production planning and control) based on sheet or signature.
Work processes are logically linked together using flow-charts and displayed in
chronological order.
Shifting of the Imposition
Occasionally, a glance in the past makes it clear why work processes change
or why specific production steps need to be shifted to other areas. This is especially true for the imposition, which has constantly necessitated new jobs and
processing locations because of technological developments over the last several decades. In letterpress printing, the printer was still responsible for the
imposition of molds cast in lead. After the introduction of offset printing and film
and photo sets, the offset technician “glued” text and picture elements to the
page and, then, together on the printing plate. With the emergence of the text
and picture integration with CEPS (color electronic prepress system) and, later,
desktop publishing systems, the exposed pages (films) were compiled onto a
printing plate by the offset technician. Larger platesetters and more powerful
computers made Computer-to-film and, for the first time, the exposure of entire plates, possible with the help of operator-controlled imposition programs.
Computer-to-plate brought new workflow systems with it, in which an operator
impositions individual pages to entire plates and exposes them directly on the
plate. From then on, JDF shifts parts of this task to the routing: the imposition
is defined in the Management Information System, while the imposition takes
place in the production workflow (prepress).
Modifications per Mouse Click
The philosophy implemented in modern workflows requires that the imposition
take place at the order clerk level, while following all necessary formats, trademarks, and other elements. After all, the procedures should not be calculated
again in a subsequent production process. Therefore, it is key that Hiflex sets
the signature as the basis for imposition rather than the printing sheet. Only in
this way can it be assured, that, once defined, the order flows smoothly through
production into processing – or that it can be modified at specific decision nodes
without defining the product anew. A modification that also requires a new imposition, such as changing machine scheduling to a larger or smaller machine,
can take place at the click of a mouse.
Structured Instead of Improvised
Which came first? The imposition or the estimate? Previously, one would first
create a folding template to see how the product should look. After that, one
could usually begin the estimate process. Nothing has actually changed, because after entering the product parameters, Hiflex builds the “digital folding
340
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
template,” which is definitely more than just a resource for the estimate. In addition to the useful operational information, the Hiflex estimate is an essential part
of the production process, defining the workflow in prepress, pressroom, and
finishing with the help of JDF data. Stefan Reichhart comes to the point: “The
production steps are now structured, not improvised.”

Web2Print with Hiflex at drupa 2008
Hiflex presents closed and open Web2Print solutions live on its drupa stand
9D44.
The closed Web2Print solution “Hiflex eBusiness” allows customers and/or suppliers to access individually configured areas on the printer’s website with logindata. In the secure area the customers then have the possibility to carry out,
for instance, one or more of the following processes: to order customer-specific
standard products, to check on the status of the job (job tracking), to order from
a stock of finished goods or place a print order when the stock is too low (warehouse release order), to personalize print products within a given corporate design, to transfer printing data with assignment to the job, and to approve proofs
via the internet (softproof).
The open “Hiflex Webshop” (Example: www.printplaza.com) is a unique global
web shop system that is fine-tuned to the needs of the print product market and
facilitates an integrated product configuration. By the product configuration a
print product can be assembled from several modules (such as number of pages,
color, paper, finishing, and refinement) at lightning speed. Highlights: online estimate also of variable product formats (format of one’s choice), secure payment
processing, data upload function with automated data check (Preflight), online
proofing, order tracking, and package tracking. Hiflex Webshop communicates
with the printing company’s MIS system via digital JDF job ticket. Furthermore,
the system contains several tools for successful marketing (newsletter functionality, voucher-system, and others).

Networked Production with Hiflex at drupa 2008
Hiflex is known worldwide as the technological leader in JDF integration. On
their drupa stand 9D44 Hiflex will present Management Information System Hiflex MIS with comprehensive JDF/JMF connectivity to ten systems of well-known
press and system suppliers in the print and media industry. Live demos will be
held in German and English language several times per day and they will take
place in an appropriate show theater that features three associated screens itself.
341
The live presentations comprehensively reveal the CIM concept (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) that has already been realised by numerous Hiflex users:
the integration of all processes relevant for production across system boundaries. This comprises the integration of external partners as well.
The acceptance of JDF StrippingParams as calculated in Hiflex in the prepress
system will also play an important role in the demos. Hiflex JDF StrippingParams
are transmitted to the prepress workflow system when the initial prepress job is
created. They are then used to automatically generate the imposition scheme
without further manual intervention (see screenshots). The prepress operator
can dispense with a complete working step because the imposition scheme is
automatically created in the prepress workflow system.
The live demos at drupa are based on unique real-life experience as Hiflex has
conducted more than 60 JDF installations world-wide. The interaction between
the different systems reveals how printers profit from practical improvements
and business benefits through JDF connectivity with Hiflex (proven by six first
places and three second places in the CIP4 Innovation Awards since 2005).

Baupartner der Druckindustrie
igb hat sich in den letzten Jahren als der Baupartner der Druckindustrie etabliert.
Gerade in der Druckbranche hat die technologische Revolution des letzten Jahrzehntes
Konsequenzen für die baulichen Hüllen. Stichworte sind: Klima und Befeuchtung, Energiekosten, Schall- und Brandschutz. Was von vornherein mitbedacht
ist, kann die Kalkulation später nicht sprengen.

The headquarters of the IKS Klingelngberg group are located in Remscheid/Germany.
Operations at the site in the industrial park in Bergisch Born started in 1993.
This summer it was further extended by a new logistics hall. Dipl.-Ing. Thomas
Meyer, managing director of IKS Klingelnberg GmbH, talks about the above and
the future of the site.
Why has the Remscheid site been extended by the new logistics hall? Thomas
Meyer: This is a really interesting story. We made an analysis of our logistics
processes which revealed that capacities needed to be increased. In a survey
348
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
our employees also confirmed this result.
And then you realised the proposals of your staff ... Thomas Meyer: Exactly. The
staff members were delighted to be involved in the decision-making process.
Their proposal has been realised. It goes without saying that this is also quite
good for the morale within the company.
Furthermore, new jobs have been provided. How many employees work at the
Remscheid site? Thomas Meyer: We have 131 staff members. Regarding the
new logistics hall there are 24. This number is to be increased to 31 in the
following two years.
How important is the hall for the Remscheid site? Thomas Meyer: A clear separation of production and dispatch department. The hall shall further serve as
main hub for Europe. At best the manufactured knives and saws are delivered
to the logistics hall by the other IKS Klingelnberg sites, labelled and packed according to the requests of the customer and dispatched quickly. This is a lean
and efficient process without long storage times.
The staircase of glass of your administrative building has been used for regular
art exhibitions for years. Since September an exhibition of Marcel Patrice Soyer
can be seen. You thereby also like to highlight the special relation of art and
technology. However, the facade of the new logistics hall is still purely white. .
. Thomas Meyer: But this is going to be changed. First further modifications of
the roundabout in front of our site will be realised. As soon as these works will
be completed, we want to improve the appearance of the hall. Whether only the
large company logo will be modified, remains to be seen. Marcel Patrice Soyer
is also interested in contributing to the design.
IKS Klingelnberg A globally operating company with its head office in Remscheid
Whether the first thing you grip in the morning is the newspaper or another item,
the IKS Klingelnberg group has certainly been involved in its production. The
globally operating group of companies with its head office in Remscheid is one
of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of machine knives and saws. Almost all industrial sectors such as paper, wood, metal, plastics and recycling are
covered. With its products the IKS Klingelnberg group has become one of the
global market leaders meanwhile. With more than 1,000 employees in Europe,
North America and the Far East a net consolidated turnover of € 130 m will be attained in 2007. Specialised production sites can be found in Germany, namely in
Remscheid, Geringswalde and Bargteheide. Furthermore, there are two plants
each in Austria and Finland. Service and sales offices are in France and the
Netherlands, the United States, Canada, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia.
The headquarters of the company are located in Remscheid. This is where the
company, which was started in 1814, has its roots. In 1908 the production of
machine knives was launched. In 1922 the tool shop in Hückeswagen/Germany
349
became a special machine shop. In the year 1991, the sectors machine engineering (Klingelnberg GmbH) and industrial knives (IKS Klingelnberg) were
separated. In 1993 the new knife plant in Bergisch Born with one administrative building was constructed. In the course of this year the new logistics hall
with about 3,200 m² has been completed. Thanks to the relocation of receiving
goods, inspection and dispatch department, new capacities have been provided
in the existing hall in order to extend the production. Due to these measures the
Remscheid site is even more in the focus of attention. In future, the new logistics
hall shall serve as main hub for Europe and provide further jobs.

“End-To-End Automation of the Printing Workflow”
355
The DaVinci team have been invited to be part of DRUPA’s JDF Experience
Parc; a prestigious gathering of world-leaders in JDF development. This is a
very big achievement for an Australian company just three years old.
At DRUPA, DaVinci will be unveiling their “INTERNET TO PRESS” technology.
This technology, already in limited use by a couple of printers in Australia, allows
printing workflows to be handled automatically, without intervention by staff at the
printer, until the Job hits the factory floor.
In the INTERNET TO PRESS workflow, the Customer firstly logs on to the
Printer’s web site and specifies the job to be printed. DaVinci then automatically creates an estimate and quotes the price back to the customer.
356
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
If the price is satisfactory and the customer wishes to proceed, they click a button, attach the PDF, enter a purchase order number and DaVinci automatically
goes to work.
The original estimate is converted to a job and credit issues are dealt with.
DaVinci then checks the factory schedule against the requested delivery time
to ensure that the job can be delivered when required.
of JDF emerged. With a more general compliance having now been established,
DaVinci plans to remain at the forefront of JDF/JMF workflow management.
Product Overview
If the Job can proceed, DaVinci makes contact (using JDF) with the Printer’s Pre
Press System sending imposition, job structure and other important information.
At the same time, a JDF transmission is sent to the Press, Folder, Guillotine and
Stitcher providing all setup information.
06.1065
Estimating software
06.1070
Purchase orders are automatically sent for paper and other materials. The arrival of materials into the factory is then monitored by DaVinci to ensure that
work can start when scheduled. SMS and email warnings are sent to key staff
members if there are any problems.
Product Details
The whole process is monitored by DaVinci making use of JMF (Job Messaging
Format) to access real-time production data from the various machines.
DaVinci Automation MIS
At all times, DaVinci is ‘aware’ of how the job is progressing with key staff being
notified if any ‘exceptions’ occur.
INTERNET TO PRESS is designed to allow individual printers a lot of flexibility
as to how they use the technology. For instance, the printer may choose to have
the Account Manager, Rep or CRM (rather than the customer) at the top of the
process tree if it is felt that all customer contact should be personal.
It is also likely that most printers are not in a position (because of the existence
of older printing machinery) to have a completely JDF enabled workflow. In
such cases DaVinci will use JDF where available in conjunction with its own
communication protocols to automatically manage factory workflows.
DaVinci’s integrated accounting suite allows the printer to close the ‘automation
loop’ with all financial transactions automatically being posted to the General
Leger.
JDF/JMF is a great tool but it must be remembered that JDF, in itself, is only a
communications device; it does nothing on its own and has no intelligence.
The destiny of JDF is reliant on highly intelligent systems (such as DaVinci)
driving it.
It is also largely reliant on all vendors establishing compliancy with the ICS standard (currently 1.3). This allows a more ‘plug and play’ approach by MIS systems
which, in turn, has the effect of drastically reducing the cost to the printer.
Although DaVinci has been JDF enabled since Day 1, the company has been
reluctant to pursue the technology with its customers until a more stable version

printing workflows to be handled automatically, without
intervention by staff at the printer, until the Job hits the
factory floor. In the INTERNET TO PRESS workflow,
the Customer firstly logs on to the Printer’s web site and specifies the job to be
printed. DaVinci then automatically creates an estimate and quotes the price
back to the customer. If the price is satisfactory and the customer wishes to
proceed, they click a button, attach the PDF, enter a purchase order number
and DaVinci automatically goes to work. The original estimate is converted to
a job and credit issues are dealt with. DaVinci then checks the factory schedule against the requested delivery time to ensure that the job can be delivered
when required. If the Job can proceed, DaVinci makes contact (using JDF) with
the Printer’s Pre Press System sending imposition, job structure and other important information. At the same time, a JDF transmission is sent to the Press,
Folder, Guillotine and Stitcher providing all setup information. Purchase orders
are automatically sent for paper and other materials. The arrival of materials
into the factory is then monitored by DaVinci to ensure that work can start when
scheduled. SMS and email warnings are sent to key staff members if there are
any problems. The whole process is monitored by DaVinci making use of JMF
(Job Messaging Format) to access real-time production data from the various
machines. At all times, DaVinci is ‘aware’ of how the job is progressing with key
staff being notified if any ‘exceptions’ occur. INTERNET TO PRESS is designed
to allow individual printers a lot of flexibility as to how they use the technology.
For instance, the printer may choose to have the Account Manager, Rep or CRM
358
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
(rather than the customer) at the top of the process tree if it is felt that all customer
contact should be personal. It is also likely that most printers are not in a position
(because of the existence of older printing machinery) to have a completely JDF
enabled workflow. In such cases DaVinci will use JDF where available in conjunction with its own communication protocols to automatically manage factory
workflows. DaVinci’s integrated accounting suite allows the printer to close the
‘automation loop’ with all financial transactions automatically being posted to the
General Leger. JDF/JMF is a great tool but it must be remembered that JDF, in
itself, is only a communications device; it does nothing on its own and has no
intelligence. The destiny of JDF is reliant on highly intelligent systems (such as
DaVinci) driving it. It is also largely reliant on all vendors establishing compliancy with the ICS standard (currently 1.3). This allows a more ‘plug and play’
approach by MIS systems which, in turn, has the effect of drastically reducing
the cost to the printer. Although DaVinci has been JDF enabled since Day 1, the
company has been reluctant to pursue the technology with its customers until
a more stable version of JDF emerged. With a more general compliance having now been established, DaVinci plans to remain at the forefront of JDF/JMF
workflow management.

It’s official: INX double-certifies inks and inbound ink
ingredients to be ‘Lead-Free.’
Schaumburg, IL – January 28, 2008 — The phrase “inquiring minds want to
367
know” has taken on new dimensions over the past year, with a steady stream of
news about product recalls due to lead, mercury and other hazardous elements
being detected in numerous goods that consumers buy and use daily.
Of course, INX International Ink Co., the world leader in metal decorating inks
for beverage cans, decorative tins and numerous other 2-piece and 3-piece
metal packaging, complies with federal and international standards concerning
lead and other heavy, high toxicity metals. Toxics in Packaging Clearinghouse
(TPCH) Model Legislation (formerly known as CONEG – “Coalition of Northeastern Governors” Legislation) specifically prohibits use of lead, cadmium, hexavalent chromium and mercury.
INX also requires its suppliers of pigments and other chemical raw materials
to certify that their products comply with applicable standards. This calls for
independent analyses as well as supplier-company certification.
INX adds extra third party certification layer.
In addition, INX further confirms results by having its own, independent thirdparty analysis performed on these materials — in particular, all inbound pigments. And INX has increased its random analyses of ink products.
“We are proactively providing additional quality assurance above and beyond
our previous practices,” notes Jonathan Ellaby, VP International Division for INX
International. “All products used in our AP LOVOC, AP Retort, AP Novar, INXCure TP and TP 2004 series inks continue to exceed requirements of established safety regulations, with no contamination even approaching published
thresholds.”

“In addition, our Research and Development effort is heavily focused on even
more-advanced environmentally friendly ink products,” Clendenning adds. “It’s
all part of INX’ on-going, multifaceted program to help printers meet the many
‘green-related’ challenges they face today, while continuing to provide their customers with superb print quality at a profit.”
Schaumburg, IL – February 12, 2008 — “Printers feeling pressed by increased
customer demands for ‘green’ inks and more sustainable practices, can get
plenty of help from INX,” asserts INX International Ink Co. President and CEO
Rick Clendenning, “regardless of their application or print processes.
“Years of research and development by INX — long before ‘green’ became

According to INX President and CEO Rick Clendenning, a key focus of the new
enterprise will be smoothing commercial and packaging printers’ expansion into
the digital market, enabling them to “hit the ground running” in terms of digital
products, print quality and productivity.
“TDI is a win-win-win combination for customers, both short- and long-term,”
Clendenning states. “For one, Triangle Digital LLC is an established, recognized
leader in the digital print arena, with considerable technical know-how, digital
parts & servicing, as well as ink products. It’s an excellent fit with our own INX
International offerings and customer base. And, thirdly, Sakata Inx’ global reach
and raw material sourcing, its R & D capabilities and track record in developing all
types of ink, bode well for future product advances with more digital ink systems
precisely engineered for this market — even as new digital press technologies
evolve.
“In short, TDI brings customers the best of both worlds … to help printers deliver
the full range of traditional commercial as well as digital print capabilities. And
that’s not all.”
INX “Team” approach ideal for helping commercial and packaging printers respond to unique customer needs.
“It’s easy to understand many commercial printers’ interest in participating in the
digital market’s rapid growth,” adds Brad Kisner, President of Triangle Digital
LLC. “But it’s also important to understand what’s driving that growth.
“The rapid increase of niche market products, customized and tightly targeted
promotions — resulting in shorter print runs and faster turnaround — make
streamlined digital systems vital to accessing this business,” Kisner explains.
“Although this brings printers a new (and typically, higher margin) revenue
stream, the investment is still considerable. And it’s not as simple as just installing a digital press and starting to run jobs.”
“This is where the combined, practical pressroom know-how that TDI offers can
provide a critical edge,” Clendenning asserts. “Current INX customers appreciate the easy, direct access we give them — not only to sales reps, but to
application specialists, product development and technical support personnel.

Readily available, multiple-discipline assistance can be crucial to making new
operations productive and profitable, quickly.”
Application-specific expertise helps printers make digital investments pay.
“Going forward,” Clendenning continues, “key people in INX’ commercial printing
group will be working closely with Triangle Digital specialists, strengthening not
only digital application expertise, but mutual insights involving both processes.
While it’s vital for printers to have application-specific know-how at their fingertips, it is also important for ‘the left hand to know what the right hand is doing’;
and vice versa.
“This kind of combined TDI know-how and servicing capability will prove to be
invaluable as printers develop and solidify both types of business in their operations.”

NEW GLOBAL IPEX 2010 INITIATIVE TO HONOUR
CHAMPIONS IN PRINT
Ipex 2010 is launching the ‘Champions in Print Awards’ to acknowledge the
huge contribution of those who have influenced and shaped the development of
the printing industry.
Between April 2008 and Ipex 2010, anyone in the industry is invited to nominate
any living person who has made an outstanding contribution to print anywhere
in the world. To celebrate the dynamic evolution of print, nominations might be
for groundbreaking technological developments, innovative inventions, amazing
applications, stunning project executions, dynamic design for print or exceptional
dedication to customer service. Entries must be supported by approximately
100 words summarising the special impact the nominee has had on the printing
industry.
IPEX 2010 DATES ANNOUNCED....
Every quarter, the Ipex Advisory Committee (IAC) will debate the nominations
and announce a winner for that period - amounting to ten ‘Champions in Print’ in
the run up to Ipex 2010. Each winner will be notified and presented with an Ipex
2010 ‘Champions in Print Award’. In addition, a photo of each winner, together
with a short summary of the winner’s valuable contribution to print will be posted
on the ‘Champions in Print’ gallery section on the Ipex website. Ipex 2010 will
also host an official Awards’ reception for all ten ‘Champions in Print’ during the
event, which will take place from 18th May – 25th May 2010.
Apart from voting on www.ipex.org/champions, visitors to drupa will also have
the chance to cast their vote directly in the ‘Champions in Print’ ballot box on the
Ipex stand: 9A 73.
NEWS RELEASE 27th November 2007
IPEX 2010 DATES ANNOUNCED....
IIR Exhibitions announces that Ipex 2010 will take place from Tuesday 18th May
to Tuesday 25th May 2010 at The NEC, Birmingham, Great Britain.
Ipex 2010 Event Director, Trevor Crawford, comments: “We are delighted to
have secured these key dates for Ipex 2010, which avoid all the main holiday
dates in this period and allow us to continue our traditional Tuesday to Tuesday
opening period.”
Ipex 2010 President, Managing Director of Heidelberg U.K. and Chairman of Picon, George Clarke, adds: “For the first time Ipex will be located in all the new
halls linked around the modern atrium concourse, and with one main entrance.
This has provided us with the opportunity to review product layout in line with
industry developments. As a result we are confident that we can create a new
‘footprint’ for the event which will enhance both the visitor and exhibitor experience.”
Ipex 2010 marketing director, Nick Craig Waller comments: “We’re extremely
excited about the launch of our ‘Champions in Print Awards’ as it offers a brilliant
platform to acknowledge and celebrate the hard work, effort and time devoted by
people in the industry world-wide. There are so many famous as well as unsung
heroes within the industry and by keeping the competition as open as possible;
we are hoping to have a mix of international personalities who will receive our
prestigious Award.
“This far-reaching initiative demonstrates our commitment to the global print
market as well as to innovation and excellence in what is a very dynamic industry. There will be a constant voting poll available until Ipex 2010 so if a nominee
hasn’t been picked first time, he or she can be entered again. We look forward
to meeting the ‘Champions in Print’ winners personally and drawing from their
expertise”, Nick Craig Waller concludes.

About IPEX 2010 Ipex is the largest English-speaking global technology event
for print, publishing and media. The last event took place from 4-11 April 2006 at
the NEC, Birmingham, UK and welcomed over 100,000 visitors over the course
of the eight days. 40% of attendees came from overseas covering over 159
countries – more than any other Graphic Arts exhibition before. IIR Exhibitions
acquired Ipex in 2006 from its previous owner, industry association Picon. IIR
Exhibitions also owns Total Print! Expo incorporating Digital Print World, Northprint and Ipex South Asia.

NEW FOOTPRINT FOR IPEX 2010 REVEALED
For the first time, Ipex 2010 will be located in the entirety of the new halls on the
UK’s National Exhibition Centre (NEC) which are linked via the Atrium concourse
and one main entrance.
Ipex 2006 attracted a record 40% of international visitors from 159 countries. To
build on the success, Ipex 2010 is set to impress with new initiatives to reflect
the constantly changing industry, improved navigation and a practical footprint
that joins all the halls together as well as the added benefit of using Hall 16 which
sits between Hall 12 and 17.
Ipex 2010 Event Director, Trevor Crawford, comments: “During recent years,
the exhibition was split over two sides of the NEC. The new layout, concentrated around the Atrium concourse, offers huge benefits for both exhibitors and
visitors including one main central entrance with easy access to public transport
and car parks. The linked and adjoining halls provide easier navigation and will
ensure a smooth visitor flow within an encapsulated and defined area. We’re
absolutely thrilled about the new layout as it will reduce the distance between
halls so visitors can maximise their time at the event.”
The new footprint provides a logical layout for visitors and mirrors the print production workflow from Creation & Design (16); Pre-Media Solutions (9 – 12);

LEADING SUPPLIERS SIGN UP FOR ‘NEW LOOK’ IPEX
2010
Ipex 2010’s new dates and layout have been greeted enthusiastically by leading industry suppliers, with Heidelberg, Kodak, Canon and HP among the leading industry suppliers already allocated space on the exhibition floorplan.
“Industry reaction to our innovations for Ipex 2010 has been extremely positive,”
says Ipex 2010 event director Trevor Crawford. “The new, later dates – 18th
to 25th May – avoid major international public holidays and should move us
into a generally warmer climate. In addition, locating the exhibition solely within
the new halls, accessible via a single main entrance, simplifies navigation and
makes it much more likely that visitors will get to see all the companies they plan
to.
“In particular, exhibitors have welcomed our decision to exploit this new, unified
footprint by organising the halls to mirror the print production workflow. Around
40 major suppliers have now reserved space in the relevant workflow sectors,
where they are acting as a magnet for exhibitors with similar or complementary
products. In fact, in some areas demand for space will soon mean we have to
implement waiting lists.
“It’s also significant that a number of exhibitors have increased the size of their
stands. The top 15 exhibitors have collectively increased their stand footprints
by 39%, compared to 2006 – a sign of the importance they place on Ipex.”
Other major suppliers who have agreed the location of their stands include
Screen, Fuji, Goss International, Komori, Ferag, Kolbus, Mitsubishi, Friedheim
International, Presstek and Konica Minolta.
Ipex website goes live The new Ipex 2010 website has also gone live at
www.ipex.org. The easy-to-navigate website features Ipex 2010’s distinctive
branding and is designed to provide a complete information service to exhibitors
and visitors alike. Material available online includes sales brochures, the exhibition layout, a full list of exhibitors, a ‘breaking news’ feed and information on
travel to the NEC and accommodation in Birmingham. The website will also be
translated into all key languages, including Chinese and Japanese.

High efficient UV curing systems
IST will be exhibiting at the world’s most important print technology exhibition
on its 324 m2 stand in Hall 3. The focus of the technical innovations to be
showcased on IST’s stand, no 3 B17, is the exceptionally high efficiency of the
UV curing systems. The BLK-5 is an innovative UV system, which offers an
extremely high curing output combined with very low energy consumption.
Visitors can learn more about different application possibilities using UV printing from the live demonstrations that will be carried out during the show on the
company’s own sheet fed offset 520 x 370 format press. Stunning print demonstrations will be carried out on the press, which is equipped with six print units,
a coating unit and a die-cutting unit as well as three interdeck dryers and an
end-of-press dryer. Exciting print jobs will be presented four times a day in order to illustrate how the use of UV printing can open up interesting new market
sectors. A complex coating application for a book cover will be used to demonstrate the finishing possibilities in the commercial sector. The ever-increasing
use of printed plastics will also be taken into account in another of the print jobs.
The impressive effects that can be achieved by using opaque white together
with special coatings on plastics will be shown. The third print job focuses on
printing high quality labels and a self-adhesive label will be printed, die-cut and
embossed inline.
IST will not only be represented on its own stand in Düsseldorf. IST UV units can
also be seen on the following stands: Drent, Gidue, Heidelberg, Halm, Marks3zet, Müller Martini and Steinemann.

All of the advantages of the Kern 2500, thousands of which are in use worldwide,
have been integrated into the Kern 2600 and optimized even further. In the
K2600, innovation and the tried and tested have been joined together.
Undoubtedly, the Kern 2600 will be the centerpiece and high point at Kern’s
Drupa stand (C75, in hall 6). However, under the overarching motto ”kern solutions 2008,” the Swiss provider of comprehensive solutions in the fields of
document processing, information distribution and process automation will also
be launching a whole series of other new products and solutions.
Kern AG
The revolutionary Kern 2600 Inserting System is set to
be the main attraction at Kern’s stand at the Drupa
2008 in Dusseldorf, Germany
As the largest international printing and media industry trade show, Drupa is the
perfect setting in which to unveil the trailblazing Kern 2600 Document Inserting
System.
Uli Kern, CEO of the Kern Group and owner of the tradition-rich family enterprise,
describes the new technology as ”pioneering” – an assessment borne out by
the system’s tested and proven performance data. The Kern 2600 indeed sets
new standards for output, modularity and versatility, as well as for operator and
maintenance friendliness.
Using envelopes ranging from C6 to B5, the Kern 2600 can process up to 16,000
mail pieces per hour. The Kern 2600’s innovative hardware, which is driven by
a newly developed control system, allows for the versatile realization of an extremely broad range of applications thanks to the employment of latest generation technologies. With its panoply of cutting-edge, future-oriented options, the
Kern 2600 is truly state-of-the-art, a fact that, importantly, serves to protect the
customer’s investment.
The Kern 2600 is based on a newly developed, ergonomic operating paradigm
385
As an extension of the proven mailFactory line of products, Kern will be unveiling
a comprehensive solution for the automation and management of the entire mail
production process. Called ”mailFactory Manager,” the new product is a workflow tool that monitors and controls production orders from start to finish, while
providing essential status and planning information about the whole process.
This is Document Output Management in the truest sense.
Kern will also be unveiling individual hardware solutions at Drupa, including the
new K132 and K142 cutting lines, which share the virtues of being both optimally
compact and versatile. These systems allow for the offline processing of stacks
and rolls, for online processing in concert with all types of standard digital printing
systems, and for nearline processing involving a merger or folding modules.
Using Kern’s outstanding cutting technology, the K132 and K142 can handle
both pinless and pinfeed materials. They are able to process stacks or rolls
printed 1-up or 2-up, and subsequently can produce stacks in A3, A4 or A4
format.
The impressive performance of the K132 and K142, including on-the-fly offset
job separation, is in part made possible by an ingenious alignment module. In
addition, the integration of an intermediate stacking module reduces the number
of start-stop actions when stacks are being transferred to the output conveyor.
The drop stacker can accommodate stacks containing up to 2500 sheets.
With these systems, Kern once again proves that outstanding performance and
a reasonable price can go hand in hand. The new guillotine cutting technology is
intended for moderate throughputs, and ensures an excellent price/performance
ratio. All of the advantages of Kern’s proven solutions, including modularity,
versatility and the rapid change of applications, are part of the package.

At this year’s Drupa, Kern will also be demonstrating its EasyMailer 515, a
compact mailing system that enables the achievement of high response rates
for direct and TransPromo mailing campaigns by inserting, in one work step,
preprinted color documents into an envelope containing one or two letters. In
the EasyMailer 515, the cutting, folding and inserting of documents, as well as
the sealing of envelopes, are accomplished, with 100 percent reliability, in an extremely compact space. Furthermore, appealing, personalized mailings can be
generated by means of a built-in, easy-to-use graphic-design software application. This method is best suited for small-scale, high-quality mailings that target
a specific clientele. The EasyMailer 515 genuinely lives up to its name, in that
it greatly simplifies the mailing generation process, from the conceptualization
phase right through to dispatch.

products that have been endowed with the latest technical optimizations. These
products include the Kern 40 Poly Wrapping System, which now can be combined with the Kern 980 Continuous Forms Cutter. Daniel Bruderer, Kern’s Chief
Marketing Officer, has this to say about the Kern 40: ”With this solution, Kern
has responded to the growing trend towards using poly wrapping in the transactional and TransPromo markets.” This recent development makes necessary
the ability to process documents online from stacks and rolls.

Damit fing 1982 alles an. Bereits vor Einführung des PC´s hatten wir die zunächst
einzige und dann beste computergestütze Kalkulation für die Druckindustrie.
Und bis heute hat sich daran nichts geändert. In Zeiten von JDF und WorkflowSystemen zeigt sich wie wichtig die richtige Kalkulation ist.
Highlights (in allen Versionen serienmäßig enthalten):

Viele Markenhersteller, so auch PEUGEOT Deutschland investieren große
Summen in den Markenaufbau und die Markenführung. Immer wichtiger wird in
diesem Zusammenhang die konsistente und konsequente Integration der Kommunikation über alle wichtigen und relevanten Medien sowie Vertriebskanäle
hinweg. Für Automobilhersteller wie PEUGEOT ist es also von vitalem Interesse die Kommunikation der wirtschaftlich selbständigen Vertragspartner mit
dem Endkunden im Sinne der einheitlichen Markenführung zu lenken und die
Möglichkeit von regionalem Marketing anzubieten. So kann das Know-How der
Vertragspartner bezüglich deren spezifischen Kundenstruktur mit in die Kommunikation einbezogen werden und die verschiedenen Kommunikationsmaßnahmen ganz gezielt und effizient eingesetzt werden.

ad on – Das neue Marketing Management System für
PEUGEOT Vertragspartner
PEUGEOT war einer der ersten Automobilhersteller der mit einem Computer
gestützten System zur Erzeugung und Buchung von markenkonformen Tageszeitungsanzeigen
Erfahrungen auf dem Weg zu diesem Ziel sammeln konnte.
Die Erfahrungen und Erkenntnisse der letzten Jahre wurden nun in einem
neuen, genau auf die Bedürfnisse der Vertragspartner ausgerichteten und
mit weiteren Mehrwerten versehenen Marketing Management System von der
Agentur MEHRKANAL umgesetzt. Das neue MMS soll durch seine intuitive,
403
404

www.drupa.de
einfache Benutzeroberfläche und vorausgefüllten Textelementen (Verbrauchswerte, Motorisierung etc.) eine hohe Akzeptanz bei seinen Benutzern, den
Vertragspartnern garantieren. Weitere Ansprüche wie die Gestaltung, Individualisierung und Buchung einer Tageszeitungsanzeige durch den Vertriebspartner
in nur 10 Minuten soll mit BISON (Brand Integrating System ONline) realisiert
werden. Weiterhin soll der einfache Aufbau des Systems Schulungen für die
Vertragspartner überflüssig machen.
Damit aber nicht genug. Um das bei PEUGEOT auf den Namen „ad on“ getaufte
System tatsächlich zu einem echten Marketing Management System zu machen
werden weitere, für den Vertrieb und die Markenführung relevante Kommunikationskanäle integriert.
Einerseits kann der PEUGEOT-Partner also mit zentral gesteuerten Kampagnenmotiven in Form von Tageszeitungsanzeigen mit den Endkunden kommunizieren. Außerdem ermöglicht das neue „ad on“ den Vertragspartnern ihre
eigene PEUGEOT-Partner-Website mit entsprechenden aktuellen und auch
wiederum zentral gesteuerten Kampagnenaktionen attraktiv und auf dem neuesten
Stand zu halten. Mit diesen beiden durch „ad on“ synchron gesteuerten Kommunikationskanäle spricht der Vertragspartner die für den Endkunden wichtigsten
Informations- und Recherchequellen für einen geplanten Autokauf an.

Bereits in der Umsetzungsphase befindet sich der dritte von „ad on“ unterstützte Kommunikationskanal. Auf modernen Flachbildschirmen können die
Vertragspartner, wiederum zentral gesteuerte, bewegte Bilder und Kampagneninhalte in ihren Showrooms zeigen und mit eigenen individuellen Angeboten
ergänzen. Sämtliche Module des Marketing Management Systems sind internetbasiert und somit jederzeit von jedem Ort aus steuerbar.
Die Friseurkette mod’s hair mit Sitz in Düsseldorf hat für seine Franchisepartner
einen besonderen Online-Werbemittelshop entwickeln lassen. MEHRKANAL

Bestellabwicklung.
BISON, beziehungsweise „ad on“ garantiert und unterstützt entlang der gesamten
Kommunikationskette der PEUGEOT-Vertragspartner mit dem Endkunden die
konsistente, corporate design-konforme Markenkommunikation und befriedigt
so einerseits die Bedürfnisse und Wünsche der Vertriebspartner, als auch die
Interessen von PEUGEOT Deutschland. Das einheitliche Auftreten der Marke
ist auf der regionalen Verkaufs- und Marketingebene gewährleistet und stärkt so
das angestrebte Markenimage von PEUGEOT bei den Endkunden.
Die mod’s hair Franchisenehmer haben nun die Möglichkeit Ihre Werbemittel
individualisiert und genau auf ihre Dienstleistungen und ihren Standort abgestimmt online zu bestellen. Dazu loggen sie sich mit Ihren persönlichen Zugangsdaten ein. Jetzt kann der User aus einer Vielzahl von Layouts die für
ihn passenden Drucksachen auswählen und mit individuellen Texten und verschiedenen Fotomotiven online erstellen.

For printing companies requiring a more powerful set of colour quality control
tools, PrintSpec Colour QA Manager and PrintSpec Colour Consultant have new
features added for launch at DRUPA 2008.
These include: • Calibration Manager - for tuning the CMYK printing process, using TVI (Dot Gain) or grey balance methodology • Curve Tuner - for fine tuning of
TVI curves printed from non-linear plates • Neutralise - for generating TVI curves
that produce neutral three colour greys calculated from the standard PrintSpec
strip • Match Curve – for matching print appearance from ISO standard paper
types to different stocks • Averaging of multiple reports, historic analysis and
advanced trending tools have also been enhanced for the DRUPA version of
RetroSpec.
The benefits of printing accurately to an independent, international standard offers huge benefits to printers. Colour quality control brings reduced make ready
times, reduced waste, quicker turnaround, effective communication and therefore, increased customer satisfaction.
Mellow Colour
Mellow Colour gives Printers control of ISO standards
Introducing the Powerful New PrintSpec
At DRUPA 2008 in Dusseldorf Germany, Mellow Colour Ltd will release the
latest version of the popular PrintSpec ISO 12647 colour quality control & verification software.
ISO may be the current buzzword of the industry but some printers are mystified
at exactly what they need to do in order to meet the ISO print standard 12647.
PrintSpec allows Printers to generate comprehensive ISO 12647 pass/fail reports generated from the small PrintSpec strip placed along with production
CMYK printed work.
Printers requiring a system for straightforward ISO verification will need PrintSpec
software plus a spectrophotometer for measuring the PrintSpec strip printed
along with the job.
PrintSpec Reports include ISO12647 pass/fail information about the CMYK inks,
the overprinted colours, the Dot Gain (TVI) and Grey balance. A configurable
‘percentage of ISO Excellence’ scoring system is built in.
The targets and tolerances of ISO 12647-2, 3, 4, SWOP and GRACol are selectable from pull down menus, and custom in house standards can be gener-
409
PrintSpec is also a distinct marketing advantage in colour critical printing. Printing to common standard ISO 12647, is attractive to the Print Buyer, who can
then rely on a supplier to offer consistent colour, job –to job, and to international
targets and tolerances.
Mellow Colour has established a Proficient Printer Program, recognising printers
around the world that have received training in the practical implementation of
ISO 12647 and operation of the PrintSpec Colour QA System. Print Buyers
use the Proficient Printer Program to recognise and monitor a print supplier’s
performance to ISO 12647.
Mellow Colour Quality Control System is not just about consistency and performance. Mellow Colour is focused on improving communication. PrintSpec
generates a comprehensive but clear report that acts as a benchmark everyone
can refer to address quality issues.
“To implement PrintSpec and meet ISO standards a printer is demonstrating technical commitment & a progressive approach towards standardisation.”
Stated Alan Dresch, Director of Mellow Colour.
Dresch went onto say “This is a simple approach to the complex issue of implementing process control over the entire production workflow. We do see
customers with concerns about adopting new standards, but Mellow Colour are
probably the most experienced in the field and go the extra mile, to carefully
guide printers through the procedure logically. By the end of an implementation, we usually find our customers are inspired & motivated by this structured
approach to colour quality control.”

Mellow Colour give Print Buyers control in ISO
standards Introducing PrintSpec for Print Buyers
At DRUPA 2008 in Dusseldorf Germany, Mellow Colour Ltd will release a Free
of Charge version of the popular PrintSpec ISO 12647 colour verification software.
FlashPrintSpec allows Print Buyers, Publishers and Printers to generate comprehensive ISO 12647 pass/fail reports generated from the small PrintSpec strip
placed along with production CMYK printed work.
Printers requiring a system for straightforward ISO verification will need PrintSpec
software plus a spectrophotometer for measuring the PrintSpec strip printed
along with the job.
Print Buyers that want to adopt a simple ‘remote’ colour verification system can
ask their printers to email them the small xml print measurement files which they
can read into their free PrintSpec software to generate comprehensive colour
appearance reports to check that the job is being printed to standard.
“The benefits of a simple pre requisite such as this could be huge for Print Buyers. It will reduce proof cycle times & result in a more efficient approval process. It also gives Buyers a simple way to recognise & monitor a supplier’s
consistency. To meet with these standards a supplier is demonstrating technical commitment & acceptance, which is becoming more and more important as
the industry moves towards standardisation.” Stated Alan Dresch, Director of
Mellow Colour.
Dresch went on to say, “FlashPrintSpec colour quality control and production
analysis is not just about the Print Buyer defining satisfactory performance to
their suppliers. Mellow Colour is focused on the facilitation of communication.
By using a target such as ISO 12647, we are giving the Buyer & their suppliers
an independent and synchronised objective that will help them work together
and understand quality issues.”

Flexographic printing presses are often equipped with an automatic cleaning
system. For each printing press cleaning cycle, the cleaning system requires
a certain amount of clean solvent. The need for cleaning solvents increases
according to the number of color and different printing jobs. The operator is
then necessarily required to consider cost-effective and efficient means to supply
these solvents.
An expedient recycling concept for contaminated solvents will be presented,
consisting of the ASC-150 solvent recovery unit, combined with solvent storage tanks, initially introduced at stand 9A78 in exhibition hall 9 at Düsseldorf.
The ASC-150 has been successfully used for several years in packaging printing and continuously produces ethanol / ethyl acetate. The solvent recovery unit
is supplied directly by the flexographic printing press. Two high-grade stainless
steel 1000-litre tanks of approved design buffer the contaminated and recycled
solvent mixture. Powered by an integrated, high-performance steam heating
system, the ASC-150 is able to distill 200-400 litres of printing solvent per 8-hr
shift. The entire recycling process is electronically monitored and provides for
reliable operation with the flexographic printing presses. An optional nitrocellulose safety package is available for printing inks containing nitrocellulose. This
provides for safe distillation of nitrocellulose-contaminated solvents.

Otterbach Group
Heinrich Bauer Verlag have decided in favor of the
Remote Director (TM)
The Otterbach Group, at the Drupa 2008, the biggest trade fair for the Printing
and Media Industries, is introducing an important new business contact for the
color-proof Monitor-Proofing System Remote Director (TM). The Bauer Druck
Köln KG, one of Heinrich Bauer’s own printing plants will, in the future, be using
the Remote Director (TM) for their own products.
The enterprise Bauer has already made further enquiries in respect of the colorproof Monitor Proofing System for other printing locations. Moreover, the editorial depar(TM)ents (editorials) for other diverse products will be equipped with
the Remote Director (TM).
This software makes it possible for several users, in different locations, to simultaneously look at and assess the colors and contents of a proof ,to navigate
alternately the layout of the proof and with the help of small digital self-adhesive
notes to discuss and comment on the proofs, making notes and giving instructions for corrections. Finally, on the basis of this digitalized process, a complete
digital script leading into a seamless documentation of the Proofing System can
be made, including a legally binding “digital signature”
Communication, therefore, is considerably more effective as the users-whether
customers such as photographers, agencies, publishers, pre-press or printerseach according to their own requirements, can work, in real time, either together
in a project or independently. Furthermore, the Remote Director (TM) is the first
monitor-based Proofing System which with the SWOP Certification guarantees
that all Monitor Proofs correspond to the ISO guidelines of the Printing Industries.(Industry) The Remote Director (TM) supports RGB,CMYK and CMYK with
special colors in the formats TIFF, JPG, PS, EPS, PDF, DCS2, and CT/LW.
According to Otto Engelhard, Managing Partner of the Otterbach Group, on the
new business: We are pleased that the Heinrich Bauer Verlag have placed their
trust in the Remote Director (TM). Due to their decision, the software has come
a great deal nearer to becoming the standard proofing system of the industry.
Otterbach is a modern media enterprise consisting of four areas of business:
prepress information technology, advertising agency and market research. Otterbach has, in this way, positioned itself to be a solutions provider for product
and customer communications with inter-linked areas of competence. Otterbach’s many years of experience make him the first choice for demanding and
top-quality editorial products and publications. Otterbach IT GmbH, with its comprehensive know-how, offers efficient and effective workflows, innovative software solutions and state-of-the-art technical networks. The Otterbach IT GmbH
represents, as an exclusive re-seller, PlanSystem3, Van Gennep’s publishing
and editorial systems and ICS’s Remote Director (TM).
About Bauer Druck Köln KG:
Bauer Druck Köln KG is one of the printing plants of the Heinrich Bauer Publishers. It focuses on the printing of Bauer’s own magazines and their production
as well as the high productional run of the mail-order catalogues and holiday
catalogues. The productional run amounts to 11,000,000 magazines per week.

General Introduction to the Regulations for the Transport
an
Under HSE legislation it is a requirement for all people involved in the transport and handling of dangerous goods to
have appropriate training. For some this will mean an in-depth
training course and qualification, but for many who only need
an appreciation of the subject this two-day course is ideal.
The event examines the background to the current Dangerous
Goods legislation, the criteria and methods for determining if a substance is
dangerous and then takes a general view of how the modal regulations apply this
data to transporting dangerous goods. A review of package selection, testing,
marking and labelling is concluded with an exercise in package selection using
the regulations.

Das auf Mailstream-Technologie spezialisierte Unternehmen Pitney Bowes bringt
einen integrierten Sammelhefter auf den Markt. Das neue System eröffnet
Nutzern neue Möglichkeiten in der Herstellung von personalisierten Broschüren
mit variablen Inhalten. Es verbindet die hohe Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit und
Bedienerfreundlichkeit der Endlos- und Einzelblattzuführung von Pitney Bowes
mit der Steuerung und Produktivität der Software Direct Connect.
Die Software, die die Nachverfolgung von Dokumenten im Arbeitsprozess ermöglicht, wurde in die bewährte Stapel-/Falzmaschine Horizon ACF-30, den
Sammelhefter SPF-30 und den Trimmer HTS-30 integriert. So kann der
gesamte Verarbeitungsprozess bis ins Detail kontrolliert und nachverfolgt werden. Damit können Anwender jetzt auch aus Endlospapier oder Einzelblättern
Broschüren mit personalisierten oder vertraulichen Informationen erstellen oder
personalisierte Deckblätter mit einzeln gedruckten Inhalts-Seiten verbinden. Direct Connect überwacht und kontrolliert jeden Prozessschritt bei der Broschürenzusammenstellung und garantiert so, dass die richtigen Seiten miteinander kombiniert sind. Dieser Prozess kann für ein Serien-Mailing der Broschüre erweitert werden und erlaubt auch die Einbindung von personalisierten Briefen und

Stapel-/Falzmaschine ACF-30 Das System stapelt, rillt und falzt die Blätter nach
Abschnitten und führt sie dem Sattel zu. Dabei kann die Blattanzahl in jedem
gefalzten Abschnitt variiert werden, um eine enge Faltung in Abhängigkeit von
der Blattzahl, Faserrichtung und dem Papiergewicht zu gewährleisten.
Bei Rückfragen wenden Sie sich bitte an:
Sammelhefter SPF-30 Der SPF-30 verfügt über eine zentrale automatisierte
Steuerung für alle Bearbeitungsstationen. Das Gerät heftet Papierstapel mit
einer Stärke von jeweils bis zu 5 mm (bei 50 Blatt à 80 g/m²) für die Erstellung
von 10 mm dicken Broschüren. Die Heftdrahtdicke wird automatisch auf die jeweilige Broschürendicke eingestellt. Mangelhafte Broschüren werden zu einem
integrierten Ausschussmodul umgeleitet, um einen kontinuierlichen Betrieb und
die korrekte Umsetzung des Auftrags zu gewährleisten. Die Hochleistungsheftköpfe von Hohner gewährleisten eine präzise und zuverlässige Mittelheftung. Einige Heftköpfe ermöglichen unterschiedliche Drahtstärken (0,4 mm bis
0,6 mm), bei manchen kann auch die Anzahl der Heftungen eingestellt werden
(bis zu 4). Die Ringösenheftung ist ebenfalls möglich. 3-Schneiden-Trimmer
HTS-30 Der 3-Schneiden-Trimmer HTS-30 bietet eine qualitativ hochwertige
Nachbearbeitung der drei offenen Seiten in nur einem Arbeitsgang. Die optionalen Mittelschnittvorrichtungen ermöglichen eine Doppelnutzenproduktion,
mit der bis zu 11.000 Broschüren pro Stunde hergestellt werden können. Der
Standardmittelschneider erzeugt einen 6 mm breiten Bundsteg bei einer maximalen Broschürenstärke von 3 mm. Ein Hochleistungsmittelschneider erzeugt
einen 8-mm-Bundsteg bei bis zu 4 mm starken Broschüren.

Mit Innovationen ans Ziel
Die Provinzial Rheinland hat als regionale Versicherung rund zwei Millionen
Kunden. Um diese optimal mit Informationen zu versorgen, verfügt die Zentrale in Düsseldorf über eine eigene Druck- und Versandabteilung. Für ein optimales Management setzt das Unternehmen auf Hard- und Softwarelösungen
des Postbearbeitungsspezialisten Pitney Bowes, die teilweise speziell entwickelt wurden. Fazit: Obwohl im vergangenen Jahr die Anzahl des Druckoutputs
um über sieben Millionen Blatt stieg, sparte die Versicherung damit beinahe eine
Million Postsendungen ein.
Von der Gebäude- über Haftpflicht- bis hin zur Lebens- oder Rentenversicherung:
Das Angebotsspektrum der Provinzial Rheinland AG ist umfangreich. Das betrifft auch die Druck- und Versandabteilung: Hier werden die Kundendaten verarbeitet, Informationen und Unterlagen erstellt und die Ausgangspost vorbereitet.
Zusätzlich organisiert die Zentrale in Düsseldorf auch den kompletten Druck und
Versandbereich für die westfälische Provinzial sowie die Sparkassen Direkt Versicherung – und organisiert damit insgesamt ein enormes Postaufkommen.
Tausende Dokumente, Flyer und Broschüren verlassen pro Monat die Zentrale
in Düsseldorf, um Kunden im ganzen Rheinland über Neuerungen, Vertragsstatus und Angebote zu informieren. „In den letzten Jahren hat sich unser Druckund Versandoutput enorm gesteigert. Vor fünf Jahren hatten wir rund 70 Mil-
438
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
lionen gedruckte Seiten im Jahr. Mittlerweile sind es zwischen 120 und 150
Millionen“, so Klaus Müllers, Leiter der Druck- und Versandabteilung bei der
Provinzial Rheinland AG. Diese Dokumente werden im Haus weiterverarbeitet
– also sortiert, gefalzt, kuvertiert und versendet. „Bei automatisch erstellten
Schreiben kommt es vor, dass Kunden zwei oder drei Briefe am selben Tag
erhalten“, so Müllers. „Für Kunden lästig – für uns teuer. Daher haben wir nach
einem Weg gesucht, hier steuernd einzugreifen.“ Dank intelligenter Software,
optimierter Datensteuerung und dem Versand der Poststücke über die TNT Post
erreichte die Provinzial Rheinland AG 2006 dadurch einen Rückgang von rund
einer Million Postsendungen im Vergleich zum Vorjahr.
Lückenlose Überwachung und transparente Dokumentation Besonders bei Finanzen und Versicherungen gilt: Sicherheit im Dokumentenversand ist wesentlich.
Müllers: „Wir verarbeiten sensible und persönliche Daten, in deren Handling unsere Kunden uns hundertprozentig vertrauen. Dem tragen wir Verantwortung,
indem wir in der Postbearbeitung für maximalen Schutz sorgen.“ Seit 2003 unterstützt die Provinzial Rheinland dies mit der Datensteuerungssoftware Direct
Connect von Pitney Bowes. „Die maschinelle Verarbeitung stellt einen hohen
Sicherheitsstandard sicher. Zudem ist damit die Sendungsverfolgung der Dokumente möglich: So können wir genau nachvollziehen, was wann verarbeitet
wurde, wo es sich im Prozess befindet und welcher Operator zuständig war.“
Auskunftsstärke gehört zu den selbst gesetzten Maßstäben der Provinzial –
sowohl intern als auch extern. „Diesen Anspruch können wir nun besser erfüllen:
Mit den Reportings können wir Prozesse bis auf das einzelne Dokument herunterbrechen.“ Das bedeutet: Das System speichert Informationen in eine Datei,
die den Prozess begleitet – dem sogenannten Mail Run Data File (MRDF). Die
Maschine erhält die Informationen über die Weiterverarbeitung der einzelnen
Dokumente quasi vorab. Per Kontrollsystem kann sie dann erkennen, ob alle
Informationen korrekt aus der Datei entnommen wurden. „Wird ein Dokument
im Produktionsprozess beschädigt oder fehlen Daten, erkennt die Maschine das
und greift korrigierend ein. Das fehlerhafte Dokument wird aus dem Prozess
ausgesteuert und automatisch ein Reprint angefordert“, sagt Horst Gebeke, Senior Account Manager DMT bei Pitney Bowes. Auch doppelt gedruckte Dokumente werden durch den automatischen Auftragsabgleich erkannt und ausgesteuert. Dann erstellt Direct Connect in Verbindung mit einer dateigestützten
Kuvertierung eine Liste über alle verarbeiteten Dokumente. Diese gibt an,
welche Stücke beschädigt wurden oder welche das Kuvertiersystem nie erreicht haben. Durch Angaben wie Sammelmengen, Laufgeschwindigkeiten, verarbeitete Sendungen, zugeführte Blätter, ausgesteuerte oder entfernte Dokumente oder History-Listen wird höchste Integrität beim Versand gewährleistet.
Der Auftrag wird erst dann als abgeschlossen betrachtet, wenn alle enthaltenen
Dokumente das System korrekt verlassen haben. Musste früher jede einzelne
Nummer des nachzudruckenden Dokuments per Hand eingegeben werden –
439
was bei großen Aufträgen schon einmal 500 bis 600 Eingaben bedeuteten konnte –, ist die automatische Steuerung eine große Erleichterung. „Es ist nicht
mehr nötig, dass der Bediener alle beschädigten Poststücke sammelt und neu
generieren lässt“, sagt der Leiter der Druck- und Versandabteilung.
„Mit Direct Connect können wir selbst auf die laufenden Prozesse zugreifen
und Informationen herauslesen – Geschwindigkeit, Status oder wie viele Kuvertierungen des Auftrags schon verarbeitet wurden. Damit sollte vor allem
sichergestellt werden, dass keine Fehlkuvertierungen mehr erzeugt werden.
Nur so können wir den von uns selbst sehr hoch gesetzten Standard an Datensicherheit erreichen.“ Die Software Direct Connect ist einfach in das bestehende
System integrierbar. „Direct Connect erfüllt wegen der Revisionssicherheit die
Anforderungen des Fachbereichs am besten“, so Müllers. Zudem konnte die
Lösung optimal in die vorhandene Umgebung integriert werden.
Effiziente Weiterverarbeitung im Haus Versicherungspolicen, Angebote, Auszüge:
Bei der Provinzial Rheinland AG werden die Daten zu 90 Prozent endlos auf
große, rund 50.000 Blatt umfassende Papierrollen gedruckt – und direkt weiterverarbeitet. Auch hier baut die Versicherung auf Systeme des MailstreamExperten Pitney Bowes: In der Zentrale arbeiten die Kuvertiermaschinen aus
der bewährten 9er-Serie sowie seit Herbst vergangenen Jahres das Hochleistungssystem APS.
Die Kuvertiermaschine Serie 9 wurde speziell für die Verarbeitung von großvolumigen Aufträgen wie etwa Transaktionspost entwickelt. Selbst bei maximaler
Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit arbeitet sie effizient und gründlich. Auch das
Zuordnen von individuellen Beilagen wie Prospekten oder Flyern geschieht
schnell und zuverlässig. Damit kann die tägliche Transaktionspost auch optimal
für Marketingzwecke genutzt werden. Die Serie 9 verarbeitet als Mehrkanalsystem Umschläge der Formate DIN C6 bis DIN C5. Ergänzend hat sich
die Provinzial Rheinland für eines der schnellsten und produktivsten Kuvertiersysteme entschieden: das Hochleistungskuvertiersystem APS, das ebenfalls
speziell für den Transaktionsversand entwickelt wurde. Besonders wichtig für
die Verarbeitung von sensiblen Dokumenten wie Rechnungen oder Kontoauszügen, aber auch bei personalisierten Mailings, ist die lückenlose Sendungsverfolgung. Das System stellt damit sicher, dass jedes Dokument korrekt und komplett zusammengestellt wird. Im dateibasierten Closed-Loop-Verfahren werden
nicht korrekt verarbeitete Dokumente so lang nachgedruckt, bis Soll- und IstDatei hundertprozentig übereinstimmen und der Auftrag korrekt und vollständig
abgeschlossen ist. „Während unsere beiden Mehrkanalsysteme der Serie 9
rund 10.500 Sendungen pro Stunde verarbeiten, schafft die APS als Einkanalsystem beinahe doppelt so viele“, so Müllers. Sie wird vor allem für den Rechnungsversand und Sonderaktionen wie Direktmailings und Werbemaßnahmen
der Marketingabteilung verwendet.
440
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
Zu den Spitzenzeiten im letzten Quartal des Jahres fallen bis zu zweieinhalb Millionen Rechnungen pro Monat an. Müllers: „Vor fünf Jahren haben wir hierfür
noch den kompletten November und Dezember gebraucht. Mit den schnellen
Systemen und der präzisen Datenverarbeitung benötigen wir heute nur noch
zwei Wochen, dann ist der Rechnungsversand erledigt.“ Und noch ein positives
Fazit gib es zu berichten: „Viele Mailings können nun im Haus verarbeitet werden, die früher mangels Kapazitäten extern vergeben werden mussten. Damit
haben wir ein Zeitfenster für andere Aufgaben geschaffen, zum Beispiel schnell
zwischengeschobene Sonderaktionen – und eine effiziente Auslastung der Maschine sichergestellt.“
deres als das, was wir als Versicherung auch nach außen kommunizieren.“
Eine Partnerschaft, die auf Vertrauen fußt Seit den 70er Jahren sind bei der
Provinzial Rheinland Systeme von Pitney Bowes im Einsatz. „Als wir 2003 unsere komplette Flotte aktualisiert haben, haben wir natürlich auch nach rechts
und links geschaut. Dennoch: Die Leistungen und das Angebot von Pitney
Bowes haben uns überzeugt.“ Dazu zählt der Kundenservice, die Betreuung vor
Ort, das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, die leichte Handhabung und die konstante
Laufleistung der Maschinen. „Besonders beeindruckend war die Art und Weise,
wie Pitney Bowes auf unsere diversen Wünsche eingegangen ist. Dabei waren
unsere Anforderungen nicht leicht umzusetzen: Pitney Bowes hat speziell für
uns die Möglichkeit entwickelt, auf Basis einer Inputdatei Dokumente aus allen
Eingangskanälen während eines Jobs wahlweise zuzuführen.“ Für die Provinzial
bedeutet das: Wurden früher jeweils aus dem ersten Zuführkanal eine Police,
aus dem zweiten ein Zahlschein und aus dem dritten ein Scheck zugesteuert,
ist mit der neuen Software der separate Versand beispielsweise einer Police mit
Scheck oder auch eines separaten Zahlscheins möglich. „Das Engagement für
unsere individuellen Anforderungen hat uns überzeugt. Unseren Maschinenpool gibt es so nicht noch einmal, er wurde alleine für uns maßgeschneidert.“
Fazit: Mit dem Einsatz der modernen Technik konnte der manuell hohe Aufwand
eingegrenzt und die Prozesssteuerung vereinfacht werden, was die Effizienz
in den Abteilungen steigerte. Außerdem werden die Prozesse bis ins Detail
protokolliert. „Wir müssen nur noch die Maschine einrichten, den Job auswählen
und Start drücken“, so Müllers. Damit muss der Operator nur noch die Kuverts
und Beileger nachlegen und den Ablauf beaufsichtigen.

„Die Koppelung aus Software und Technik ermöglicht es uns, auch in unserem
Dokumentenmanagement die Zuverlässigkeit und den Service anzubieten, den
wir als Versicherung leisten“, so Müllers. „Wir sehen uns als Dienstleister, der
auch das Kerngeschäft eines zentralen Druckzentrums verstehen muss – nur so
können wir dem Vertrauen unserer Kunden in unser Datenmanagement Rechnung tragen.“ Gemeinsam mit Pitney Bowes hat die Provinzial Rheinland ihr
Datenmanagement optimal gestaltet. „Wir sind sehr zufrieden mit unserem Partner, und wir wissen – wir können uns auf ihn verlassen. Und das ist nichts an-

Communications that deliver
Mail und Messaging werden in der Wertschöpfungskette immer wichtiger. Immer mehr Unternehmen erkennen, dass eine gezielte Kundenansprache – im
Rahmen von Transaktionen oder von Werbung, im Druck oder elektronischen
Format – ein Aushängeschild sind und als interaktives Markenzeichen wirken.
Jede Kommunikation muss ihr Ziel erreichen.
Auf der drupa 2008 zeigen Unternehmen Produkte und Dienstleistungen, die
lediglich an einzelnen Phasen des Kommunikationszyklus beteiligt sind. Am
Stand von Pitney Bowes gibt es das Know-how für die gesamte Palette des
Dokumentenprozesses – angefangen von der Erstellung über die Produktion
bis zur Weiterverarbeitung und zum Management des Outputs. Die Experten
geben einen Überblick über den kompletten Mailstream und somit den Dokumentenfluss, den ein Unternehmen erreicht und wieder verlässt. Während der

gesamten Dauer der drupa 2008 macht Pitney Bowes praktische Anwendungen
live erlebbar und zeigt vor Ort Neuheiten an Messaging-Hard- und Software.
Transpromo in Aktion Bisher ist viel zum neuen Thema Transpromo geschrieben
worden – der Platzierung von Marketingbotschaften auf Rechnungen und Kontoauszügen. Pitney Bowes zeigt Transpromo in Aktion: Das Hochleistungskuvertiersystem APS verarbeitet doppelseitige Farbdrucke in Sichtumschläge und
führt sie direkt einer DM Infinity zu, einem Frankiersystem, das speziell für
den hochvolumigen Versand entwickelt wurde. „Transpromo – The Truth“: In
einer stündlich startenden Präsentation alternierend in deutscher und englischer
Sprache informiert Pitney Bowes über themenbezogene und gewinnbringende
Kommunikationsstrategien der neue Geschäftspraktik.
Gezielte Kundenansprache Personalisierung ist der Schlüssel zum Kommunikationserfolg. Bisher konnten die über jeden Kunden vorhandenen Informationen aber nur selten produktiv und kosteneffizient für eine gezielte Kommunikation genutzt werden. Die Experten von Pitney Bowes zeigen mit einer
Live-Anwendung, dass die Personalisierung von Dokumenten nicht zu Lasten einer hochleistungsfähigen Produktivität gehen muss. Die intelligente
Standort-Software von Pitney Bowes segmentiert die Kommunikationen nach
geografischen Aspekten. Mit dem Hochleistungskuvertiersystem FPS kann
der Versender Beilagen zusteuern, die den standortspezifischen Profilen des
Empfängers entsprechen. Gezielt auf dem Umschlag platzierte Marketingbotschaften, wie sie etwa das Envelope Finishing System (EFS) aufdruckt, sorgen für zusätzliche Aufmerksamkeit.
Mailstream-Management Eine nachweisbare Performance ist in der heutigen
durch hohen Wettbewerbs- und Kostendruck geprägten Zeit von entscheidender
Bedeutung. Kommunikationsstrategien werden immer komplexer, der Bedarf
an Reporting, statistischen Analysen und automatisierter Überwachung steigt.
Entsprechend diesen neuen Herausforderungen umfassen die Softwarelösungen von Pitney Bowes spezialisierte Programme für die Sicherstellung von Betriebseffizienz, Produktivität und hoher Zuverlässigkeit. So zum Beispiel die
Production-Intelligence-Software: Sie verknüpft erstmalig den Druck- und den
Post-Workflow und sorgt für die Optimierung der gesamten Dokumentenproduktion. Der Echtzeitzugriff auf wichtige Business-Leistungsindikatoren und deren
Echtzeitanalyse können Ihnen bei der Verbesserung folgender Faktoren helfen:
gesamten Mailstream-Prozess von einem einzigen Bildschirm aus überwachen
und steuern können, wie die Systeme ihnen Echtzeitinformationen bereitstellen
und so Produktionsverantwortliche zu richtigen Entscheidungen befähigen. So
können Unternehmen erhebliche Kosten einsparen und ihre Kundenbeziehungen deutlich verbessern.

twickelte EFS Full Colour-System ist ein Ergebnis der engen Zusammenarbeit
zwischen Pitney Bowes, Hewlett Packard sowie MCS und eröffnet ganz neue
Möglichkeiten in der Geschäftskommunikation. Ab sofort sind Kreativität und individuelle Botschaften nicht mehr nur auf den Briefinhalt begrenzt. Mit der EFS
Full Colour wird der Briefumschlag zu einem eigenständigen, lebendigen Bestandteil der gesamten Kommunikationsstrategie. Ein professionell gestaltetes
Kuvert verstärkt den ersten Eindruck und unterstützt Markenbotschaften sowie
personalisierte Aussagen des Briefinhaltes.
Ob kreative Werbemotive, Unternehmenslogos, Freimachungsvermerke oder
personalisierte Adressdetails: Mit dem neuen System profitieren jetzt auch
Blankoumschläge von der Dynamik der gesamten Farbpalette. Gekoppelt mit
der hochvolumigen Kuvertiertechnologie von Pitney Bowes verarbeitet die EFS
Full Colour-Lösung die einzelnen Prozessschritte dateigestützt. Das System
prüft jeden bedruckten Umschlag gegen, um die Integrität jedes einzelnen Poststücks sicherzustellen.
„Das EFS Full Colour-System ist das Ergebnis einer starken Partnerschaft von
drei Branchenführern. Die drupa bietet uns die perfekte Bühne, um diese neue
Technologie der Öffentlichkeit vorzustellen”, sagt Ronald van Hees, Director
of Marketing DMT International von Pitney Bowes. Im heutigen Wettbewerb
müssen sich Unternehmen aus allen Branchen um bestehende Kunden bemühen. Gleiches gilt für potenzielle Neukunden. Das EFS Full Colour-System
ermöglicht kreative Lösungen für die schriftliche Kommunikation, die in dieser
Form bisher nicht realisierbar waren.
„Mit der neuen Lösung von Pitney Bowes sparen Unternehmen den Einkauf
von vorbedruckten Briefumschlägen. Das reduziert Kosten und erweitert die
Möglichkeiten der Individualisierung. Die personalisierte Kommunikation hat
damit einen großen und bedeutenden Schritt nach vorne gemacht.”
Pitney Bowes stellt das neue EFS Full Colour-System während der drupa

Zielgerichtet und vertrauensvoll: der direkte Draht zum Kunden
Die CCM-Lösung (Customer Communication Management) von Group 1 Software und das Dienstleistungsportfolio von Pitney Bowes Management Services
(PBMS) waren ausschlaggebend: Die Hanseatic Bank hat das Outputmanagement für revolvierende Kredite an PBMS übertragen. Überzeugt hat vor
allem, dass PBMS den kompletten Prozess vom Datenmanagement über die
Formatierung bis hin zu Dokumentengenerierung, Archivierung und Versand
übernehmen kann.
Eine professionelle und bedarfsgerechte Kundenansprache ist unverzichtbar für
den Erfolg eines Unternehmens. Das gilt besonders für Banken und Finanzdienstleister: Einerseits verschicken sie Kontoauszüge, TAN-Listen oder Kreditkarten – hoch sensible Daten, die höchste Dokumentensicherheit erfordern.
Andererseits sehen sie sich angesichts des weitgehend gesättigten Marktes
ebenfalls der Herausforderung gegenüber, Bestandskunden zu halten, mit ihnen Neugeschäfte zu generieren und neue Kunden zu gewinnen. Um in beiden Bereichen ihr hohes Qualitäts- und Serviceniveau weiter auszubauen, hat
die Hanseatic Bank ihr Outputmanagement an den Experten für das Document Process Outsourcing übergeben: an Pitney Bowes Management Services. Die Outsourcing-Spezialisten nutzen mit der Software Doc1 für den Workflow gleichzeitig das unternehmensinterne Know-how aus dem Pitney BowesGeschäftsbereich Group 1 Software.
„Überzeugt hat uns vor allem das Konzept des Customer Communication Management (CCM), das nicht nur einen Teilabschnitt wie etwa die Dokumentengenerierung berücksichtigt, sondern den kompletten Prozess für eine bedarfsgerechte Kundenkommunikation: Angefangen bei der Aufbereitung der Daten
446
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
über das Design, die Formatierung und Generierung bis hin zur Verarbeitung
und Verteilung der Dokumente und der Bearbeitung von Rückläufern. Außerdem werden sie in einem digitalen Archiv bereitgestellt, von wo aus sie jederzeit
mit einem Klick in ein PDF konvertiert und abgerufen werden können. Dieser
gesamte Prozess wird von einem einzigen Dienstleister übernommen – das ist
einzigartig in der Branche“, sagt Rüdiger Mause, Leiter IT und Organisation bei
der Hanseatic Bank. „Mit der Übergabe dieses Bereichs an PBMS lagern wir
einen Prozess aus, der nicht zu unserem Kerngeschäft gehört. Gleichzeitig
bleibt unsere Kundenansprache äußerst flexibel und zuverlässig.“ Außerdem,
so Rüdiger Mause, könne die Bank noch einen weiteren Vorteil ausspielen: „Wir
wissen, dass individuell gestaltete Dokumente beim Kunden eine sehr hohe
Akzeptanz genießen. Dieses Wissen nutzen wir, indem wir gemeinsam mit
PBMS eine gezielte Ansprache für Kundenbindung und Neukundengewinnung
einsetzen.“
Was bedeutet das für den Kunden? Die Kunden der Hanseatic Bank erhalten per Post zielgruppengerechte Angebote, die genau auf ihre Bedürfnisse
zugeschnitten sind. PBMS verknüpft dazu Daten und Kaufverhalten des Kunden mit den für ihn interessanten Produkten. Beantragt ein Kunde einen revolvierenden Kredit mit Kreditkarte bei der Hanseatic Bank, produziert PBMS für
das Postident-Verfahren die Anträge inklusive aller erforderlichen Dokumente.
Damit kann der Kunde das Konto eröffnen und erhält ab sofort am Ende jeden Monats eine Übersicht über die von ihm getätigten Transaktionen. Diesen
Abrechnungen sind jeweils aktuelle, exakt auf seine Bedürfnisse abgestimmte
Informationen beigefügt. Beispielsweise können junge Eltern auf einen besonders attraktiven Ausbildungsfonds hingewiesen werden, beim Hausbau wird ein
Kreditangebot für eine Kücheneinrichtung mitgeliefert oder der Auszubildende
erhält Informationen zur privaten Altersvorsorge.
„Einfache Direktmailings landen häufig ungeöffnet direkt im Papierkorb“, erklärt
Dejan Aleksic, Sales Director Central Europe bei PBMS. „Post von der eigenen Bank allerdings wird immer geöffnet: Kontoauszüge sind wichtige Dokumente, die gelesen und aufbewahrt werden. Das sollten Banken gezielt für ihre
Marketingbotschaften nutzen – entweder durch spezifisch zugeführte Beilagen
oder durch das Platzieren von Marketingbotschaften direkt auf dem Dokument.
So können sie ihren Kunden einen echten Mehrwert bieten.“ Auch bei Rückfragen profitieren beide Seiten – Bank und Kunde – von der CCM-Lösung. Da
die Dokumente aus dem digitalen Archiv jederzeit eins zu eins in PDF konvertiert und aufgerufen werden können, sehen Mitarbeiter im Call-Center das
Abrechnungsdokument genauso, wie es dem Kunden vorliegt. So können sie
ihm schnell und einfach weiterhelfen, die Dauer des Gesprächs verkürzt sich
erheblich. Das verbessert die Effizienz im Call-Center, und die Kunden freuen
sich, dass sie zügig und kompetent beraten werden.

Was der Kunde als reibungslosen Kundenservice wahrnimmt, erfordert im Hintergrund einen gut durchdachten und perfekt abgestimmten Workflow. Das international agierende Unternehmen Pitney Bowes Management Services bietet
besonders sichere und flexible Prozesse und verfügt über weitreichende Erfahrung. „Wir sind weltweit das einzige Unternehmen, das Firmen das Outsourcing ihres gesamten Outputmanagements bietet“, erklärt Aleksic. „Das CCMKonzept ermöglicht die besonders flexible und zielgerichtete Kundenansprache,
bei der Dokumentenproduktion sorgen Sendungsverfolgung (Track’n’Trace)
und eine dateigestützte Verarbeitung (Closed-Loop) dafür, dass die in der Finanzbranche sehr hohen Sicherheitsansprüche erfüllt werden.“ Die Leistungen von PBMS umfassen damit weit mehr als den üblichen Transaktionsdruck,
bei dem fertige Druckdaten an einen Dienstleister geliefert und dort nur noch
gedruckt werden.
Die Lösung im Detail: Customer Communication Management (CCM) Die CCMLösung, die PBMS bei der Hanseatic Bank implementiert hat, basiert auf den
vom Geschäftsbereich Group 1 Software entwickelten DOC1 Software-Tools.
Sie sind modular aufgebaut und umfassen Datenaufbereitung, Design, Formatierung, Generierung, Verteilung und Archivierung von Dokumenten in einer
WYSIWYG-Umgebung (What You See Is What You Get). Der Prozess besteht
aus insgesamt sieben Schritten: Zunächst erfolgt über die Software Doc1 Data
Flow der Datenzugriff und das Aufbereiten der Daten. Der Doc1 Designer
entwickelt unter Anwendung einer abgestimmten Business-Logik das Dokumentenlayout. Welche Textbausteine werden verwendet? Welche Grafiken,
Bilder oder Tabellen? Wo steht das Datum, wo die Empfängeradresse?
Über die Software Message 1 kann die Hanseatic Bank darüber hinaus jederzeit
individuelle Textpassagen und Grafiken für ein spezielles Kundensegment oder
sogar einzelne Kunden ergänzen. Ganz einfach über eine Anwenderoberfläche
von einem PC-Arbeitsplatz aus. „Dieses Feature hat uns besonders überzeugt:
Damit können wir unsere Kunden personalisiert ansprechen und zugleich Marketingbotschaften gezielt auf ihre Bedürfnisse abstimmen“, sagt Rüdiger Mause.
Im vierten Schritt werden die aufbereiteten Daten und das Dokumentenlayout zusammengeführt: Die Druckdaten werden generiert (DOC1 Generate),
der Datenstrom optimiert (StreamWeaver) und die Dokumente gedruckt. Gleichzeitig gehen die Daten an das digitale Archiv (DOC1 Vault), wo sie zum
Beispiel von Mitarbeitern des Call-Centers jederzeit als PDF-File abrufbar sind.
Die gedruckten Dokumente werden mit den entsprechenden Beilagen von
einem Direct-Connect-Kuvertiersystem kuvertiert. Der gesamte Prozess wird
überwacht von der Steuerungssoftware PrintStreamMachine und DOC1 Data
Flow. DOC1 Data Flow ist für die Automatisierung vom Datenmanagement
bis zur Dokumentengenerierung verantwortlich, PrintStreamMachine sorgt für
höchste Dokumentensicherheit beim Kuvertieren. Umfassende Reportings in-
448
www.drupa.de
www.drupa.de
formieren kontinuierlich über den aktuellen Verarbeitungsstatus, das ununterbrochene Tracking selbst innerhalb der Kuvertiermaschine sorgt ebenso für
eine absolut korrekte Verarbeitung wie das Closed-Loop-Prinzip: Fehlerhafte
Dokumente werden automatisch nachgedruckt, bis Ist- und Soll-Datei hundertprozentig übereinstimmen – der Druckauftrag also vollständig und fehlerfrei ausgeführt und kuvertiert ist.
„Damit bietet PBMS uns genau die Dokumentensicherheit und Flexibilität, die
wir in unserer Branche für eine zielgerichtete und effiziente Kommunikation mit
unseren Kunden benötigen“, sagt Rüdiger Mause. „So sorgen wir nicht nur für
professionelle Strukturen bei unserem Outputmanagement – auch unsere Kunden profitieren: indirekt von den Einsparungen, direkt über einen exzellenten
Kundenservice.“

Brückenschlag: Mit der Einführung der Production Intelligence™-Architektur
verbindet Pitney Bowes Emtex® Software den Informationsfluss zwischen Druckund Versandbereich.
Gegenüber herkömmlichen Systemen bietet diese integrierte Gesamtlösung
einen deutlichen Mehrwert. Über Business Intelligence können an jedem
Prozessschritt Informationen erhoben und ausgewertet werden.
KINGS LANGLEY, Großbritannien, 20. Mai 2008. Pitney Bowes Emtex Software, der führende Anbieter von Output Management (OM) und Automated
Document Factory (ADF) Lösungen, bietet eine neue Production Intelligence™Architektur. Das ist eine neue strategische Architektur, die den Druckbereich mit dem Versandbereich verbindet. Sie ermöglicht eine bessere Kontrolle der Dokumentenproduktion, verbessert die Integrität und führt somit zu
einer erheblichen Effizienzsteigerung. Die Software erfasst automatisch Informationen in Echtzeit über den gesamten Druck- und Versandbereich und
verbindet isoliert vorliegende Informationen miteinander. Sie ermöglicht eine
Ablaufplanung, Aufgabensteuerung und Nachverfolgung. Zusätzlich werden
Ressourcen, Geräte und der Personaleinsatz verwaltet. Der gesamte Workflow
wird über ein Dashboard gesteuert, die Leistung werden messbar, und durch die
gewonnene Transparenz können die Standards für Produktivität, Service-LevelVereinbarungen sowie Konformitätsanforderungen besser eingehalten werden.
Selbst in innovativen Unternehmen bilden Druck und Versand noch keine Einheit
und werden als getrennte Betriebsbereiche betrachtet Sie konzentrieren sich
darauf, wichtige Informationen über den Druck- und Versandbereich separat zu
erfassen und leiten hieraus entscheidende Leistungsfaktoren zur Maximierung
der Performance ab. Aufgrund der aufwändigen manuellen Datenerfassung,
unzureichender Datenkohärenz und des Bedarfs an interner IT-Unterstützung
war eine sinnvolle Verbindung bisher nicht möglich.
Pitney Bowes Emtex Software hat die Production Intelligence-Architektur entwickelt, um die Effizienz und Integrität des gesamte Druck- und Versandbereichs zu steigern. Unternehmen können damit ihre Dokumentenverarbeitung
optimieren und die Zeit für Informationsbeschaffung reduzieren. Die neue
Plattform integriert die Produktionsumgebungen für Druck und Versandbereich durch die Vereinheitlichung verschiedener Produktionssteuerungssysteme.

Jedes Poststück lässt sich über seinen gesamten Lebenszyklus – vom Drucken,
Kuvertieren und über den Nachdruck bis zur Auslieferung – identifizieren, verfolgen und lenken. Mit der integrierten Erfassung, Überwachung und Verfolgung in beiden Produktionsbereichen müssen Produktionsbeteiligte nur noch
ein Tool bedienen. Die Planung, Modellierung und Prognose von Arbeitsvorgängen, Aufgaben und Ressourcen, das SLA-Management sowie die End-to-EndNachverfolgung von Auftrag und Poststück erfolgen nun aus einer Hand.

Workflow exakt abstimmen und ihre Produktivität steigern und auf diese Weise
für eine effizientere Dokumentenverarbeitung sorgen“, erklärt Pete D’Amato,
Vice President of Global Marketing and Product Management.
Mit der neuen Architektur können Unternehmen die Planung, Verfolgung und
Verwaltung von Aufträgen, Ressourcen, Geräten und Betriebspersonal zentralisieren. Durch die Vermeidung von Ausschuss und das bessere Nutzen von
Ressourcen können Unternehmen ihre Produktivität steigern, ihre Kapazität erhöhen, zugleich aber auch die Rendite steigern und Kosten senken. Ein Dashboard bietet einen vollständigen Überblick über den gesamten Druck- und Versandbereich und ermöglicht Fehler schneller zu identifizieren.
Die Production Intelligence-Architekur ist ab sofort erhältlich.

BOULDER, COLORADO – May 21, 2008 –InfoPrint Solutions Company, a joint
venture between IBM and Ricoh, today announced a relationship with Business Flow Automation provider Press-sense. InfoPrint will resell Press-sense’s
flagship products, iWay, Manager and Omnium, to offer customers streamlined

standards. Press-sense becomes a key component of InfoPrint’s POD workflow
solution that helps customers handle today’s POD challenges such as shorter

within any organization is to have the production workflow process run efficiently

given challenges,” said Susan Friedman, Print On-Demand Offerings Manager
for InfoPrint. “Creating end-to-end solutions that integrate web-enabled frontends and Management Information Solutions (MIS) with the print production
lifecycle answers the pain points of many of our customers.”
Press-sense Solutions Press-sense’s web-to-print and MIS solutions fit customers’ unique needs and budgets, ranging from robust, enterprise level to off
the shelf packages for smaller POD operations. These are:
> Press-sense iWay, a web-based, end-to-end, POD workflow and management
solution that allows users to create, customize, order, print and deliver in one
streamlined operation; > Press-sense Manager, a print management solution
that enables small and mid-size printers to capture and control analog services
and input the data into their business flow. It combines MIS, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and asset management functionality to manage
the job cycle at an affordable price – enabling printers to have confidence in the
profitability of a job; > Press-sense Omnium is the optimal Business Flow Automation solution engineered exclusively for print businesses. It provides critical
data on all business and production processes - in real time. Recognized as a
winner of 2006 and 2007 “Must See Em” awards at Graph Expo, Press-sense
Omnium integrates, streamlines and automates the entire print house operation,
including sales, production, MIS and finance.
Press-sense Quote “The marriage of Business Flow Automation and the OnDemand workflow is a natural step in the progression of both industry sciences,” said Amir Shaked, President of Press-sense America. “As digital service
providers seek out and depend more on efficient processes, integrated automation becomes key. We believe our collaboration with InfoPrint Solutions further
supports our Business Flow Automation vision and fortifies our leadership position in this burgeoning marketplace.”
InfoPrint Solutions InfoPrint’s POD workflow solution enables all parts of the
production workflow process to run smoothly by linking to InfoPrint’s recognized
print technology and PDF workflow solutions – InfoPrint 4100, InfoPrint 5000,
InfoPrint 2190, InfoPrint 2210, InfoPrint 2235, InfoPrint EMP156, InfoPrint Manager (IPM) and InfoPrint Process Director (IPPD). IPM and IPPD help manage
the print job from order entry and management through the complete printing
process.
Exhibiting at drupa 2008 InfoPrint will be demonstrating Press-sense products
at their stand (Hall 9, B44) in the drupa exhibition in Dusseldorf, Germany, from
May 29 to June 11, 2008. Additionally, in a joint effort to support POD processes from order entry, to imposition, to print, InfoPrint, Press-sense and Ultimate Technographics are collaborating on a hotfolder-to-hotfolder automated

Press-sense Quote “The principle behind Business Flow Automation is simple,”
notes Press-sense CEO Shlomo Ben David, (aka Benda). “The Print industry is
in the middle of a major shift from a craft manufacturing business into a dynamic
service oriented business. Everything has become OnDemand – print, marketing, books, transactional, and more. Our BFA solutions enable our customers
to become market leaders within this new environment: to grow their business
by implementing an advanced professional upstream-service platform for their
clients, and at the same time creating a very dynamic, efficient and profitable
backend and fulfillment operation.
“Using the many production and management tools that embody the BFA principle, service providers achieve access and control of all of their strategic processes, allowing them to more effectively manage their business and production data, and ultimately deliver print services more profitably. The wide acceptance of BFA by the industry leading players and customers, as will be shown at
Drupa, represents the urgent need for new platforms and solutions that enable
this transformation.”

At drupa 2008, projects from PrintCity activity groups are the heart of seven
world-leading Competence Centres focused on some of most topical subjects in
printing, packaging and publishing this year. From ‘Workflow’ to ‘Sheetfed Printing’ to ‘Web Printing’ to ‘Packaging’ to ‘Brand Protection’ to ‘Print & Electronic
Media’ to ‘Digital TransPromo’:
PrintCity Alliance Announces Seven Competence
Centres and Other Visitor Attractions for drupa 2008
Brand Protection — Effective security comes from a multi-layered approach to
the challenge of counterfeiting. The PrintCity Brand Protection Centre brings
together companies whose technologies are complementary and can be integrated into a full security solution. A new pharma box has been created by the
PrintCity project team to demonstrate the combination of a variety of techniques
on one package. Samples and information will be available at the centre that
also provides an invaluable opportunity to access the wealth of knowledge and
experience of the contributing companies.

The PrintCity Alliance has announced seven Competence Centres, plus other
significant new visitor attractions for drupa:
Food Packaging — The food industry requires packaging that does not impact
the contents during their life cycle, and which remains inert to the environment
and the food packaged inside. Safe packaging for sensitive goods requires compatible raw materials that comply with legal directives and consumers’ demands
— both on their own and in combination; hygiene that respects the production
process and application; and understanding of the chemical and physical requirements to be met. Specialists from PrintCity members will be available to
help visitors address the complex challenge for food packaging printing and con-

Value Added UV Printing — UV printing and coating is the core technique for
Value Added Printing because it provides the widest range of techniques and
substrates to increase product differentiation in the packaging, publishing and
promotional sectors. The fully revised second edition of PrintCity’s unique best
practice guide “Optimised Sheetfed UV Printing & Coating” is the industry’s
unique integrated guide to ensure maximum quality and productivity of the complete production process. The UV Expert Point ensures that existing and interested new users are fully informed on the process and its opportunities.
PrintCity Members: ADPHOS ELTOSCH / MAN ROLAND / MERCK / SAPPI /
SUN CHEMICAL / UPM
Value Added Web Offset — The meeting centre for web offset printers, publishers and print buyers to update on new trends and technologies from leaders in
the industry. Expert PrintCity members will be on hand to explain cross-process
projects that can add value and improve productivity. Value Added Printing on
Newspaper Presses — reviews the multiple process choices available and their
respective performance. Energy Efficiency is a systematic approach to improved
performance of the complete production line, consumables and its environment.
Ultra Wide Web Offset reviews the key process elements required for high volume offset.
PrintCity Members & Partners: AXIMA / MACDERMID / MAN ROLAND /
MEGTEC / SUN CHEMICAL / UPM / WEB OFFSET CHAMPION GROUP
Workflow Integration & Networking — The graphic industry is becoming a fully
integrated and automated business and manufacturing process. The ultimate
goal is the smart printing factory in which each production step responds automatically to the outcome of the preceding one. The digital workflow order cycle
starts and ends with the client and encompasses the entire business transaction and production operation. Digital integration brings together customers, designers, printers, suppliers and service providers into a virtual production chain.
Appropriate software systems that deliver rapid and reliable data are the basis
for effective automation and Lean Manufacturing.
PrintCity Members & Partners: MAN ROLAND / FUJIFILM / OPTIMUS
Digital TransPromo — The arrival of cost-effective digital colour printing now enables companies to transform transaction documents from cost drivers to valueadding promotional tools. This enables companies to leverage their transaction
documents into effective, marketing tools that promote dialogue with customers.
The benefits include differentiation, reinforced branding, greater customer loy-
479
alty, and one-to-one communication to make offers matched to the customer’s
needs, higher response rates, and cross-selling opportunities. A group of experts will explain how Digital TransPromotion works and the keys for successful
implementation to create new business opportunities.
PrintCity Members & Partners: OCÉ / BÖWE GROUP/ LASERMAX ROLL SYSTEMS / UPM
Print Meets Electronics — Print and Electronic technologies work alongside each
other as complementary choices in the media mix. The next development step
will be the convergence of these currently parallel technologies into new hybrid
devices that potentially combine the best attributes of both worlds. Already most
electronic devices are manufactured with printing technologies (printed circuit
boards, chips, antennae, etc.). Future applications can include intelligent packaging, smart inks on printed publications, interactive communication links, RFID
identification and E-Paper. Print Meets Electronics looks at these products, applications and technologies to provide drupa visitors with a better understanding
of what is available now and future trends.
PrintCity Members & Partners: EINS / EPYXS / KURZ / MAN ROLAND / NXP
/ SAPPI / SUN CHEMICAL / UPCODE / UPM / VTT / WELSH CENTRE FOR
PRINTING & COATING
These Competence Centres are all located in Hall 6 and manned by dedicated
teams of PrintCity Alliance member personnel. They are there to share their
knowledge and explain to visitors how ‘networking’ companies work together, to
give them major customer benefits and added value.
PrintCity New Projects at drupa 2008
Many of the Competence Centres planned for drupa have one or more new or
2007/2008 PrintCity Alliance projects as their main attractions. An outstanding
all-new PrintCity project, which is also launched in 2008 in time for drupa, is the
unique ‘Print+X’ project:
Print+X Project — “The secrets of added value”
PrintCity and the f:mp. introduce a joint project: Print+X. The project aims at
researching the capability and benefits of value-added printing. To achieve this,
three virtual brands of lifestyle and electronics products were designed which are
to be used as subjects in the testing process. The available options of valueadded printing will be scrutinized and evaluated by study groups from different
universities to strengthen the validity of the results. Do not to miss the Print+X
presentation at drupa 2008 which will be followed by a Roadshow presenting the
findings of the studies as well as sample media used, to the benefit of interested
brand-owners, creatives, and the management of printing houses.

PrintCity Attraction for International Print Buyers
Major exhibitions such as drupa often quite rightly focus on ‘technology’, ‘equipment’ and ‘materials’ buyers. For drupa 2008 the PrintCity Alliance also wants
to educate Brand Owners, Designers, Advertising Agencies and Print Buyers
about the opportunities available through its members’ technologies and knowledge. Hence we are planning a special Print4Life Lounge within our PrintCity
Plaza area in the centre of Hall 6. This lounge is complementary to the aims
of the separate ‘drupacube’ project and is focused towards international print
buyers from all markets:
Print4Life Lounge — Print Media users are the drivers for the printing industry.
Brand owners, designers and print buyers decide on the marketing mix determining where and how print is used. The Print4Life Lounge provides an ideal
environment for them to meet with printers and their suppliers. The Lounge is
dedicated to exchanging views on how print can add value to positioning, differentiation and branding in the market place. Print samples feature new ideas for
newspapers, packaging and commercial printing with a special focus on Value
Added Print technologies with the Print+X project.
PrintCity Alliance Members & Partners are involved in this Print4Life Lounge
through projects they are involved with in 2008.

Mit dem Druck-Portal bietet Printplus seit Jahren Web-to-Print-Funktionalität.
Zur Drupa 2008 stellt der Softwarehersteller die nächste Generation dieser Software vor. Durch das flexibel anpassbare Design lässt sich das Druck-Portal
nahtlos in bestehende Internetanwendungen integrieren. Individuelle Listen,
aufklappbare Detailinformationen und die Strukturierung über Register vereinfachen die Bedienung. Mit der Funktion „Single-Sign-On“ kann der Kunde sich
auf einem Portal für alle integrierten Internet-Anwendungen anmelden. Auf der
Drupa präsentiert Printplus diese Funktion am Beispiel von VC Media, einer
leistungsfähigen Web-to-Print-Software für die Online-Gestaltung von Drucksachen. Weiterer wichtiger Baustein im Druck-Portal ist der neue Konfigurator – ein grafisch übersichtliches Werkzeug, um Drucksachen zu beschreiben.
Bewährte Funktionen wie Auftragsarchiv, aktuelle Angebote, laufende Aufträge,
Preislisten, Fertigwaren und Warenkorb mit Upload wurden stark ausgebaut.

KPI Dashboards, Dynamic Scheduling, JDF Integration, and Microsoft .NET
Framework are among the many new features being demonstrated by Prism in
Hall 7a, Stand 12c
Prism WIN KPI Dashboards Prism WIN’s latest module is the browser-based
Key Performance Indicators (KPI) Dashboard with graphical and intuitive indicators of sales performance, production performance and consolidated executive KPI’s. Based on the runaway success of QTMS iQ Manager management
consoles, the KPI dashboards are configurable, real time representations of
business, sales, and production performance. Prism WIN and QTMS Dynamic
Scheduling Prism WIN Scheduling helps monitor deadlines and maximizes plant
efficiency. It considers job prerequisites, such as proof OKs, available plates,
and available shifts to move work forward. A “what-if” mode allows you to see

provider of Management Information Systems and productivity tools to the printing and graphic arts industries.
USA. I am very excited that the time is finally right for us to do something concrete together. Metrix has been able to receive JDF data from Prism WIN for
a few years now, reducing data duplication errors and automatically upgrading
data to production-quality instructions for prepress and finishing. But the future
of the printing industry requires a whole new level of integration between MIS
and production, and I’m very excited that with this new agreement Prism and
LithoTechnics will continue to push this envelope even further.”
The Metrix 3.0 family includes Metrix Commercial, Metrix Max, Metrix X-8 and
Metrix X-80, targeted at different segments of the commercial print market. All
editions are available on Mac OS X and Windows, and all automatically plan
and impose flat, folded, and bound work as well as ganged work. The top end
Metrix Max takes ganging automation to a higher level by finding the most cost
effective way to print hundreds of jobs across multiple presses. All editions can
import JDF and export imposed PDF. Select editions can also export various
forms of JDF for prepress and finishing. The entire Metrix family is available in
English, German, and Spanish.

Prism QTMS Expands to Indian Subcontinent
WILMINGTON, MA, April 1, 2008 — Prism Group Holdings, Ltd. and S. L.
Kulkarni Cyril Graphics Pvt. Ltd. today have entered into an agreement for exclusive sales, distribution, and support of Prism’s award winning suite of production management software and hardware tools, QTMS, throughout India, Nepal,
and Sri Lanka. “The Indian subcontinent is a strong print market and expectations are that it will continue to grow,” states Filip Buyse, President and CEO
of Prism. “It represents a growing market for QTMS because of the workflow
efficiencies the local printers are seeking. S. L. Kulkarni Cyril Graphics is a respected representative of Goss International and has many customers throughout India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. We are pleased that they have chosen QTMS
over all other production management solutions,” continues Mr. Buyse. “Since
we personally know the major printers and publishers in India, Sri Lanka and
Nepal, we feel confident of marketing QTMS products in our area,” said Surendra Kulkarni, Jt. Managing Director of S. L. Kulkarni Cyril Graphics. “These
printers and publishers continue to streamline their manufacturing operations for
better profitability. QTMS can help them significantly reduce their paper costs
and cycle time.” S. L. Kulkarni Cyril Graphics began serving the printing industry
in 1981 at about the same time that QTMS was founded. The heritage of both is
important to the success of this partnership in the marketplace. QTMS was chosen, in part, because it can operate as a stand-alone production management
system, or integrated into a printer’s existing management information system
(MIS). It’s open, XML-based API is a strong asset in this marketplace as well as
around the world. S. L. Kulkarni’s and Cyril D’Souza’s vast experience with web
printers will assure that QTMS is marketed to the proper demographics.
QTMS iQ, the latest version of QTMS, offers press, bindery, and finishing count
control as well as plant-wide workflow and pallet control. iQ is available as a
standalone production management system with job planning and machine loading functionality; it can be integrated into an existing management information
system; or it can operate as a total business solution with the Prism Win MIS.
QTMS iQ was a winner of the 2007 Must See ‘Em award. QTMS iQ and all other
Prism MIS solutions support the JDF specification.
