Ultimate Technographics will be exhibiting at DSCOP, the HP Indigo user group event in Tampa, Florida (USA) to demonstrate how automation can make HP Indigo users more profitable The company said it is offering digital printers fully automated imposition systems, such as Impostrip On Demand Digital, Impostrip Book Stacker and Impostrip Repurposing

Ultimate Technographics said that Imposition is no longer simply creating a layout to produce a booklet with the right number of pages in the right order.

Imposition is a key step to pre-press and it is not to be disregarded and modern imposition is also about setting up a print job to output in such a way to optimise a company's production.

The company believes that for printers to increase productivity in terms of imposition for digital print, they need tools that allow only print black marks, and that also allow printing of a job before the entire 600 page VDP job is completely imposed.

At the same time, the printer needs tools to create .imp templates and the ability to automate the imposition and reduce human errors by using hot folder driven templates that can be linked to any workflow that process jobs of varying number of pages and page sizes.

In addition there are also tools that are useful to impose optimised PDFs for a job to output 10 times faster.

The company also believes that powerful imposition is more than layouts based on binding methods and the systems that is provides will not only impose, but will also save time, materials and reduce the human error.

The company said that its Impostrip + HP edition is optimised for HP Indigo presses, supporting the proprietary imposition format of the presses, including the .imp template creation.

Impostrip + HP edition is client server software that can support multiple users.

According to the company, the people at hybrid print manufacturing operations are now asking for the Ultimate Technograghics system in repurposing offset to digital automatically using imposition intelligence to repurpose large runs to short runs.

Impostrip Repurposing also enables companies operating in hybrid offset and HP Indigo digital environments to 'de-impose' their offset jobs and create cost-effective final proofs on HP Indigo presses, it is said.

Impostrip Book Stacker for digital books on your Indigo Impostrip Book Stacker automates and optimizes the production of print on demand books on Indigo presses by using two dimensional optimization.

Users can automatically place the maximum number of books stacks per sheet and to group their depth for variable length book production.

Ultimate Technographics added that it has been an HP-Indigo partner since 2005.

It provides HP-Indigo customers with the imposition tool to automate any project, from personalised mail or graphic intensive brochures to on-line digital books.

Ultimate said it works closely with each customer by addressing their specific needs for automation and often develops custom integrations in to the customer's specific workflow.
