Artwork Systems Group N.V., the professional pre-press software supplier and Dynagram, the digital imposition specialist have sealed an OEM agreement that will see Dynagram's Dynastrip imposition integrated with Artwork Systems' Odystar workflow The development represents the fruition of a major, long-term co-development effort

Born from Artwork Systems' workflow technology and Enfocus's Pitstop and Certified PDF technologies, Odystar is an automated workflow that is claimed to be extremely user friendly, based on PDF 1.5 as its native data format, and on JDF as the job ticket format.

Odystar offers a complete range of pre-press tools, from pre-flight, certification and automated document correction all the way to advanced trapping, imposition, proofing, printing and screening to plate.

Dynastrip is a native-PDF and JDF-based imposition system.

Integrated within its preferred workflow, Dynastrip facilitates and streamlines the imposition process for Odystar users.

DynaStrip monitors incoming Odystar job tickets, automatically indexes source documents, builds the imposition structure and sends the files through the workflow.

The PDF files, containing imposed flats, can then be proofed, RIPped and sent to virtually any output device.

Guido Van der Schueren, chairman of the board of Artwork Systems, is delighted with the OEM agreement.

"The integration of DynaStrip in Odystar allows us to offer a completely integrated workflow for the commercial print market, with levels of automation and flexibility previously unseen in the industry.

We place a very high value on this fruitful cooperation with Dynagram," he said.

"This agreement attests to the solid, long-term partnership that Artwork Systems and Dynagram have cultivated over the years.

Odystar represents true innovation within the workflow segment - with its stunningly intuitive GUI, advances in automation and array of advanced PDF tools," said Francois Guerard, president of Dynagram.
