Hosted by the Digital Screenmedia Association, this all-new Expert Advice Zone is a great opportunity to examine the process of dynamic signage workflow and discover how this growing market fits into your imaging business.<br />

<p>According to SGIA&#8217;s 2010 Technology Adoption Survey, most graphic imagers report they are not currently offering electronic signage/dynamic display (82 percent). However, one third of these graphic imagers plan to eventually adopt the technology. Of those who currently offer this technology, an overwhelming 77 percent expect this to be a growing part of their business.</p>
<p>&#8220;Graphic producers have existing relationships with clients and should want to offer a full suite of signage,&#8221; said DSA&#8217;s Executive Director David Drain. &#8220;They also are looking for new product offerings and growth areas. Digital signage has experienced tremendous growth and interest over the last several years.&#8221;</p>
<p>The DSA Digital Signage Zone will provide an educational setting for Expo attendees to experience all of the requirements needed to manage and display dynamic content. Participants will meet leaders in the digital signage industry, establish contacts for future partnerships and test out the latest technologies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://largeimaging.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/download-3.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-378" title="Brilliant Graphics - Fan Deck 1" src="http://largeimaging.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/download-3.jpg" alt="" width="221" height="166" /></a>PITTSFIELD</strong><strong>, Mass., and ROCHESTER, N.Y., August 2, 2010</strong> – Brilliant Graphics Group’s reputation as one of the leading large-format digital graphics providers in the nation can now be extended to the world.  A panel of imaging experts at last month’s FESPA trade show in Munich presented two awards for technological innovation and image quality to Brilliant Graphics – the only U.S. company to be so honored.  Both winning entries – Brilliant Hybrid Boards<sup>®</sup> displaying building materials – were printed on a Durst Rho 800 Presto Large-Format UV Inkjet Printer.</p>
<p>“These awards are a testament to the effort and creativity we put into the development of new customer applications for digital graphics,” said Michael O. Ryan, Founder and CEO of Brilliant Graphics.  “To be able to compete and win awards at Europe’s top digital imaging show is an honor we don’t take lightly in terms of gauging our progress against the market.  It’s something we’re very proud of.”</p>
<p><a href="http://largeimaging.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/download-4.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-379" title="Brilliant Graphics - Fan Deck 2" src="http://largeimaging.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/download-4.jpg" alt="" width="226" height="129" /></a>Just last October, Brilliant Graphics was awarded the Specialty Graphics Imaging Association’s coveted André Schellenberg Golden Image Award in the Trade Show Displays and Exhibits category, for an innovative brick paver image printed on carpet using its Durst Rho 800 Presto.</p>
<p>The sample boards Brilliant Graphics submitted are marketing tools used by building materials manufacturers to show products to homeowners and designers.  These items incorporate actual building materials – flooring, tile, windows &amp; doors, brick, shingles and stone to name a few.  As a result, they tend to be heavy, costly to produce, and limited in the number of options they display.  Brilliant Graphics has solved these challenges by using a proprietary 3D flatbed scanner, Rho 800 printer, and Zund cutter to produce lightweight, cost-efficient, comprehensive display “tools.”</p>
<p><a href="http://largeimaging.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/download-5.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-380" title="Brilliant Graphics - Stone Board 1" src="http://largeimaging.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/download-5.jpg" alt="" width="211" height="166" /></a>Ryan said that while every process employed and every step taken to produce the entries was important, image quality was the key.</p>
<p>“Our customers are serious about color accuracy and image quality, and so was FESPA,” he  said.  “The judges were very strict with their criteria.  They placed more weight on the technical aspects and image quality of the entry than they did on the design or look of the piece.  Frankly, without the technology that drives Durst’s Quadro™ Array print heads, coupled with the software and hardware that allows the Rho printer to produce the image quality that it does, I don’t think we would’ve won these awards.”</p>
<p>Brilliant Graphics won the Silver award in the New Innovative Application category for its “Hardwood Hybrid<sup>®</sup> Fan Deck,” a 12-page fan deck used to show hardwood floor samples.  The company also won a Bronze award in the Specialty and Industrial Applications category for a 20”x20” “Brilliant Stone Hybrid<sup>®</sup> Sample Board” for displaying manufactured stone.</p>
<p>“What makes this stone display board unique is that we’re using 90 percent less stone than a traditional board – while at the same time providing a 25-percent larger product representation,” Ryan said.  “Not to mention the material and freight savings our customers are enjoying.  Less fuel, less product, smaller footprint – the ‘green’ benefits are significant.”</p>
<p>The Durst Rho 800 Presto is the first large-format digital imaging platform with “continuous board printing” for highest productivity.  Durst’s patented Quadro™ Array print head technology ensures sharp images, crisp text down to 4-point type and exceptional color density.  The Rho 800 Presto also prints on multiple narrow boards across its full 98-inch width on materials up to 2.75 inches thick, at a top speed of 1,200 sf/hr (draft mode).</p>
<p>Compatible with Durst’s heavy-duty roll feed/take-up accessory for roll media up to 80 inches wide and 440 pounds, the printer can lay down Durst’s optional white ink, special-effect varnish, light colors and spot colors – with no loss of speed.</p>
<p>“We’re very pleased but not surprised with the FESPA awards that Brilliant Graphics has received,” said Christopher Howard, Senior Vice President of Sales &amp; Marketing for Durst U.S.  “We design and build our Rho printers to exacting standard, so every unit is capable of producing award-winning output.  They allow innovative users like Brilliant Graphics to test the limits of imaging applications and raise customer satisfaction to new levels.”</p>

Based upon their extraordinary image quality, enhanced image processing capability and advanced printing technologies including the new LUCIA EX pigment ink set, the BERTL “BEST” recognition builds upon the recent Five-Star “Exceptional” ratings earned by the new models as the imagePROGRAF line continues to establish its position as leading solution for end-users serving the most demanding customers.</p>
<p>“Canon U.S.A. is proud to receive the BERTL BEST award for providing large format solutions that meet the color quality, precision and workflow needs of graphic arts and photography professionals, ” said Jim Rosetta, vice president and general manger, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A. “Since its launch, the imagePROGRAF line has established itself as the preferred choice for professionals seeking a highly-versatile, easy-to-navigate solution capable of delivering extraordinary color-intensive output.”</p>
<p>To deliver extraordinary image quality across an expanded range of media types, the new imagePROGRAF models feature a Media Configuration Tool that enhances the precision and quality of output achieved with third-party and genuine Canon-branded applications. Additional print options and improved photographic output capabilities are delivered through bundled print plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop® and Canon’s Digital Photo Professional that support Adobe’s Color Management Module. These functions enable features such as Black Point Compensation, which affects the way Photoshop displays and works with colors to improve color conversions that are critical for reproduction in the graphic arts. Each new model allows 16-bit RGB images, edited in Photoshop, to be sent directly to the imagePROGRAF printers – preserving smooth and high gradation.</p>
<p>The imagePROGRAF iPF6350 and iPF6300 printers are compliant with U.S. ENERGY STAR energy-saving standards and RoHS compliance standards.
