Imposition Offer Keeps Printers
Affordably Updated
Offering printers the chance to improve performance and update their imposition systems at the most economic price, Positive Focus is cooperating with Ultimate Technographics to promote a package.
The scheme is designed to allow old imposition software to be exchanged for an Impostrip system so that small and medium-sized printers without a proprietary workflow operation can have an automated system that can be customised to their immediate requirements and expanded as they can afford Ivor Dixon, managing director of Positive Focus, explained: "Impostrip products provide hot-folder capable imposition for Mac and Windows with the capacity to handle up-to-date formats like PDF from Adobe Acrobat 8

Imposition Software Puts JDF Admin Link In Reach
"It brings the JDF link from administration to production within the reach of everyone," Alan Dixon, technical director of Positive Focus commented when introducing Preps 5.1 from Creo.
Many imposition users have not upgraded their products for a few years and are falling badly behind.
They may manage to keep working but it costs them time for every file they put through the system and they increase the risk of something going wrong." He said that imposition is a key part of the pre-press workflow and any delays or problems at that stage can have a megative impact on press utilisation and productivity.
Dixon added: "Swapping an under-performing product for an Impostrip system will not only save time but there will also be other benefits as well.
Impostrip can fit in to a simple workflow driven by Gradual's Swtich and incorporating file reception and filtering, pre-flight, proofing and now, imposition." And he emphasised: "By swapping their dongle for a new Impostrip product at one third off list price they gain immediately.
We try to make the process as painless as possible, so they have 60 days to return their original dongle, giving time to make the transition to the new product and there is a down-loadable video to help them.
They can also choose the product package they buy in to, if the main requirement is to add more users they go for the multi-user Impostrip, which is provided with ganging as a no-cost option, as well as the automation features.
The only proviso is that the product they are swapping is a professional package with a dongle, originally costing more than GBP1,000.".
