By: Xitron Of special note is the introduction of a new offset workflow designed to replace many of the aging systems installed by Kodak, Fujifilm, Agfa (Eco3) and Heidelberg over the past several years. Without compromising functionality, speed or performance, its price point is expected to be well below competing packages, making it an attractive alternative to high-priced upgrades and costly subscription models. Dubbed K2, the workflow will have only one or two optional modules, as it is intended for sale as a full-featured package designed to drive virtually any new or existing CTP engine. "We've included everything," "The workflow is fast and powerful, and the interface is clean and easy to use, which makes the learning curve extremely short," Napolitano continued. "With new technology constantly being introduced for other industry segments, we saw offset as being somewhat neglected when it comes to workflow innovation," Along with K2, Xitron will be demonstrating their full slate of products in hall 7A, stand D03. Included will be Navigator Flexo Suite with its remarkable SmartFlexo screening, Navigator SP workflow for screen printers, and the award-winning Navigator DFE for digital print production. K2 and Navigator Flexo Suite will both feature prominently in the Hybrid Software theater with special presentations each day of the show. - 30- About Xitron Xitron develops advanced workflow systems and interfaces to drive the prepress industry's most popular new, and legacy output devices, prolonging our customers' investments.
