PuzzleFlow System Well Received at Print-05

ACC HSH Group was among more than 900 fair exhibitors and among six companies exhibiting under the 'drupa innovation parc on tour' umbrella at the Print-05 fair, held in Chicago, USA.

Print-05 fair, held in Chicago from 9th to 15th of September 2005, was the biggest exhibition event for the printing industry in 2005.

The Polish company ACC HSH Group was among more than 900 fair exhibitors and among six companies exhibiting under the 'drupa innovation parc on tour' umbrella.

The software manufacturer from Poland focused mainly on the latest version of its PuzzleFlow workflow system, equipped with RIP and JDF Gate modules.

A common exhibition under 'drupa innovation parc on tour' brand-name follows the show started at last year's Drupa fair.

There was a special pavilion built at drupa 2004 and approximately 40 vendors of innovative prepress, workflow and software solutions showed their products at the exhibition.

ACC HSH Group company was one of them, promoting a new version of the PuzzleFlow system.

A few months later the workflow has been developed with RIP and JDF Gate modules.

The new version was demonstrated and promoted at Print-05 fair.

The 'drupa innovation parc on tour' exhibition in Chicago gathered only six original participants of the Dusseldorf 'parc'.

Considering that, ACC HSH's participation was even more precious.

The company appeared in a very exclusive group of companies which, according to the original project, planned a world-wide tour through all important printing exhibitions.

The next stops will be held at Ipex and All in Print China fair next year - Andrzej Czyz, partner at ACC HSH Group company underlines.

ACC HSH Company was also presented in a special 'The JDF Roadmap' leaflet released by the organisers.

There were all important manufacturers of JDF-enabled products showed on the map.

Andrzej Czyz says: 'We are very glad that our innovative PuzzleFlow system has been noticed by Print-05 organisers.

'Our software has been equipped with a module enabling JDF integration a year ago, just after drupa 2004.

'This time we have had the opportunity to promote it in the USA.

'Many visitors have found us thanks to the map so we are extremely happy with that appearance.

'During a one week event the 'drupa innovation parc on tour' stand was visited by thousands of guests.

'The ACC HSH Group representatives also took their opportunity to meet current and possible partners, dealers and customers.

'We had many interesting meetings and conversations and hopefully some of them will be transformed into distribution and OEM agreements, as well as new license contracts for PuzzleFlow system', said Andrzej Czyz.

'We are looking forward to many new contacts in the US, the South and Latin Americas and in Australia'.

At the ACC HSH Group stand new PuzzleFlow functions and modules were demonstrated by the company's representatives.

One of the topics which attracted big attention, was a dispersed production, based on a remote communication between PuzzleFlow-equipped servers.

Tomasz Drazek, PuzzleFlow project manager, said: 'A dispersed production, based on JMF open protocol communication, means new opportunities for workflow systems.

'On its basis we will implement a new load balancing module in the PuzzleFlow system.

'It means that our customers won't even know where a job will be produced - PuzzleFlow will take care of that, optimising servers loading and minimising time needed for data transmission.

'During the fair demonstrations a complicated trapping operation was transferred to the computer placed in our Cracow office.

'After a few seconds we received back the processed files ready for imaging.

'We made the next important step in expanding knowledge about the ACC HSH Group products', said Andrzej Czyz, concluding the company's participation in Print-05 fair.

'In 2006 we will make the next steps in Birmingham and in Shanghai, during Ipex and All in Print China exhibitions'.
