Eskoartwork markets tools for sign/display market

Eskoartwork has extended its partnership with the HP's Graphics Solutions Business to include the HP Scitex Large Format Division in response to the growing need for dedicated pre-press tools.

Eskoartwork and HP Scitex agreed to co-market integrated workflow systems for the sign and display market.

Those systems include the complete Eskoartwork I-cut Suite, a collection of pre-production design-to-finish software that is said to streamline the production workflow.

At the Fespa 2010 exhibition, there will be demonstrations of the workflow system, from design to finishing, integrating the Eskoartwork software with HP Scitex large-format printers.

The initial creative design will be performed using Eskoartwork Studio 3D design software.

I-cut Suite will show a pre-press system handling files with I-cut Preflight for PDF pre-flighting and editing, while interactive nesting, data and cut path preparation are done through I-cut Layout.

The latest addition to the Eskoartwork workflow systems, the I-cut Suite, will be launched at Fespa 2010.

The software offers a workflow system that spans the print production cycle - from initial design and layout through to print and finishing.

I-cut Suite ensures data integrity throughout each stage of the process and will correct errors when detected, resulting in less reworks, minimised setup times and faster delivery of jobs.

Once the layout is prepared, the job will be produced on HP Scitex FB7500 and FB500 printers, before printed sheets are moved to a Kongsberg I-XL24 die-less cutting and creasing table.

Throughout the workflow, the automation functions of the Eskoartwork Automation Engine are claimed to reduce the manual operation to a minimum.

It also improves the integration with structural data and allows users to detect errors at an early stage, which increases overall quality and reduces costs.

The full range of Eskoartwork products will also be demonstrated on the Eskoartwork booth.
