ROLLING MEADOWS,Ill. 

In recent years, as mobile devices such as smartphones have rapidly become mainstream, there has been ever-increasing diversification and turnover in relation to advertising promotions. For this reason, POP and graphic display applications, the most in-demand area of the sign and display industry, have been experiencing a growing requirement for output devices that can deliver both faster and more attractive printing of high-volume jobs.

With these industry trends as its background, Screen has developed the Truepress Jet W1632UV as a new addition to its lineup of wide-format inkjet printing systems. In addition to the high-quality printing technology fostered with Screen’s Truepress Jet2500UV and Truepress Jet1600UV-F2 models, this new system provides a high throughput of 1,011.8 square feet (94 square meters) per hour. The adoption of microdroplet printheads, as well as the ability to image on large-size media up to 62.9 x 125.9 inches (1,600 x 3,200 mm), also delivers outstanding expression of gradations.

Together, these features enable the high-speed output of top-quality images for high-volume POP and graphic display applications. Following the adoption of Screen’s proprietary Truepress inks, the Truepress Jet W1632UV can also use light cyan and light magenta inks as an option, in addition to standard CMYK. The system is also equipped with an auto-cleaning function that enables consistently stable output, while its proprietary nozzle mapping function provides continuous printing with no loss of throughput.

Screen plans to continue expanding its lineup for the wide-format inkjet market in order to answer a wide variety of needs for different types of displays ranging from advertising and publicity to indoor and outdoor decoration items. By providing a diverse lineup of solutions in this way, Screen intends to contribute to the growth of the sign and display industry.

Valhalla, N.Y., April 27, 2012

“The quality, production capacity and speed turned our business around,” said Charles Rezac, president, Total Graphic Solutions. “Our customers were asking for faster turnaround and the high quality that we can deliver with the Inca Onset S20.”

Since opening their doors in 2003, TGS has been way ahead of the digital curve. “We’ve always had digital equipment, never any screen or offset,” Rezac said. Starting out with an Inca Columbia in 2003, TGS soon added a 4-color Inca Turbo. Five years later, TGS invested in a 6-color Inca Turbo to replace the cornerstone Inca Columbia. Then in November 2010, the first Inca Onset S20 was installed to replace the 4-color Turbo, boosting business revenue by 50 percent with its increased speed and capacity.

TGS developed a demanding and diversified customer base, ranging from advertising agencies and print brokers to retail clients and major brands who require everything from small format counter cards to large format graphic displays including window clings, floor graphics, standees, point-of-purchase graphics and banners.

“We’ve built our business with Fujifilm and Inca,” Rezac said. “As digital technology evolves and our customer requirements increase, our business has to change to meet their needs and stay competitive. The Turbo was only two years old and yet the Onset S20 is five times faster.” Rezac said that TGS is producing 45 – 50 beds per hour, or one bed per minute with the Inca Onset S20, compared with five minutes per bed with the Turbo. “The Inca Onset S20 has increased our output by a factor of five, allowing us to move jobs on and off the printer more quickly. The increased speed has increased our capacity for more business from our existing clients and allowed us to take in new business as well.”

To illustrate the benefits that the Inca Onset S20 has brought to TGS, Rezac described a monthly project. “One of our customers has a 1,500 piece job with 10 -12 versions. The job can’t be done by screen because of the run size and versions, plus the customer has specific colors and small type. We were running the Turbo four to five days per week, 24 hours each day to get this job done. On the Inca S20, the job is complete in one and a half to two days. That allows our customer to deliver the job to his customer much faster and opens up our printers to do even more work.”

Another benefit of great value to TGS is the color consistency across the two Onset S20s and the other devices in the shop. “Fujifilm applied their extensive expertise in color to match all of our printers, plus the ColorGATE RIP allows us to control everything in the shop with one single RIP,” Rezac said. “We’re able to move a job between the two S20s with no worries about the color, and we can do the job in half the time. With color consistency across all platforms, we’re able to produce a client’s job in less time, accurately and reliably, no matter the size or complexity.”

In addition to the new Inca Onset S20, TGS added an Esko Kongsberg i-XL cutting table to their already powerful lineup. “The Kongsberg i-XL finishing table provides another avenue of support for our customers, and further ability to produce jobs we had to outsource before. We’re able to maintain control over the job from end-to-end, and deliver the complete job to our customers in a lot less time,” Rezac said.

TGS watched sales soar 30 percent year over year, and they’re forecasting the same or better this year. “With the capacity of two Onset S20s,” Rezac said, “that opens up a lot of opportunities for us. We’ve been telling our existing customers about our increased capacity and new capabilities, letting them know we can do all of their jobs. We ask our customers ‘why use three vendors when you can use only one?’ Our customers understand the value of keeping all of their work under one roof—the color consistency, delivery from one location, a single point of contact, and the confidence of working with a proven partner.” Rezac estimates a 20 – 30 percent increase in sales this year from his existing clients alone.

April 26, 2012-Sarasota, Fla. – 

“We were able to move over to LexJet’s Sunset Select Matte Canvas from On a Roll’s canvas and there were no problems with the switch; we’re very happy with LexJet,” says Lou Fiore of Speedway Custom Photo Lab in Daytona Beach, Fla. “We also get a high level of service and support from LexJet, plus product delivery we can count on. LexJet tells me when I’m going to get my products and I get them the day they were promised, and it’s usually the next day.”

All shipping, product and customer logistics have been transitioned to LexJet and built into its technology infrastructure to ensure no interruption in service to On a Roll Color Imaging customers, who, like all LexJet customers, can expect the following:

• Personal support: LexJet customers always speak with a person who can help them between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET. Moreover, customers who call in will not be on hold for more than ten seconds or have to navigate through frustrating and seemingly infinite phone trees
• Products plus: LexJet customers have access to thousands of products that address the entire inkjet-printing workflow and are designed to build their business, all with unlimited and free technical and product support from personally-assigned customer specialists
• Nationwide shipping: LexJet customers receive products quickly from its nationwide delivery network at a flat rate of $9.99 for every order, every time, no matter how large the order

“Our number-one priority – whether it’s bringing On a Roll Color Imaging’s customers on board, working with a new customer or an existing customer – is to ensure the best possible experience for each customer,” says Pete Petersen, LexJet CIO. “An integral component of that is our continual investment in technology systems so that it’s as easy as possible for our customers to get what they need.

Las Vegas – April 10, 2012

“From printer uptime and utilization to media use and paper jams, as well as a host of other metrics, now print shop owners and managers can take better control of their operation with our cloud-based Fiery Dashboard service,” said John Henze, vice president of Fiery marketing at EFI. “Users don’t have to be in their shop to stay on top of their operations, and don’t need to stop the presses to get the information necessary to make the right, data-driven business decisions.”

“As the general manager at University Graphic Systems, California Polytechnic State University’s print shop, Fiery Dashboard has helped keep me on top of what’s happening on the production floor and drill down into the reasons, without even having to be at the shop,” said David Messer. “This service provides excellent graphical displays, which in turn have allowed our digital press operators to better understand how reducing waste and downtime positively affects our bottom line.”

With Fiery Dashboard, managers can collect a vast amount of production-level data to monitor and measure what is most important to them. The dashboard view can be customized to focus on specific printers or groups of printers, define targets for engine utilization, or choose different date ranges to measure daily, weekly, quarterly or even annual growth. Managers can easily see engine utilization and status, jobs and pages printed by media and the split between color and black and white. There are also a range of metrics that identify the source of production inefficiencies, from job errors and cancellations to paper jams. Fiery Dashboard also presents system status such as when engines need calibration to ensure color consistency in addition to identifying current level of software updates.

Owners and managers can compare these metrics between any or all Fiery Driven™ printers in the shop to understand relative engine productivity to more efficiently leverage resources across the shop. For instance, an owner may want to track black & white pages printed on a color device to help determine if it makes more sense to purchase a dedicated black & white printer. Another example enables managers to compare printer utilization to help balance workload and optimize time shifts and schedules.

Availability

Fiery Dashboard is available now in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish. A 30-day free trial (www.efi.com/fierydashboard) is available now in the U.S. and Canada. To purchase, contact EFI at FieryDashboardSales@efi.com.

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., April 2, 2012

The new, versatile Canon imagePROGRAF printers are optimized for use by professionals in a variety of different markets including Computer-Aided Design (CAD); Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC); Geographical Information System (GIS) and other technical document professional areas to produce large technical documents or posters in color. The included software utilities are highly valuable to users in the retail signage industry as well as general office environments. The ability to quickly print technical documents up to 2400 x 1200 dots-per-inch (dpi) with precise lines can provide a tremendous professional advantage for organizations that rely on this speed and accuracy to stay relevant in a competitive market.

Both the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF765 MFP and iPF760 MFP imaging systems provide a wide range of features and workflow solutions making for an extraordinary value to many different types of printing environments. In addition to the new integrated stand, both models feature the ability to use a new swivel monitor mounting system for easy maneuvering of the monitor toward the front of the printer. Each printer ships with the most-recent SmartWorks MFP software which has all the tools a customer needs to easily print, copy, scan or edit large format technical documents. The system also features a Ci C40 color scanner with a 40-inch scan width for A0, D and architectural E-size scans and true 600dpi optical resolution.

“The update to the imagePROGRAF printers represents Canon’s dedication to companies in the large format printing market,” said Sam Yoshida, vice president and general manager, Marketing, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A. “Canon has taken an award-winning solution in the imagePROGRAF series and listened to our customers on how we could improve it. With the flatbed stacking we have now enhanced the user’s productivity and efficiency making these devices a natural fit to meet customer demands.”

The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF765, iPF765 MFP, iPF760 and iPF760 MFP printers are designed with the everyday workgroup in mind, with an easy installation option against a wall to save precious space in an organization’s workspace. These ENERGY STAR-certified models maximize productivity and ease-of-use with media loading and ink replacement from the front of the machine and a sub-ink tank system that ensures uninterrupted printing.

All four Canon imagePROGRAF models ship with Printer Driver (PC only) Optimization Module for AutoCAD and also have a new interface lock system that enhances the security functions and provides an option for administrative control to determine who can have access. Enhanced accounting functions are also included to collect printer job log information such as client ID, ink and media consumption, media type and output size. Users are able to efficiently and easily obtain estimated printing costs from this technology as an easy way to track in-house usage or for billing customers. A Print Plug-in for Microsoft Office also ships with all new models, enabling users of any skill level to create large format printouts of documents, images or illustrations that were created by Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint programs.

The Canon imagePROGRAF models are scheduled to be available in mid-April through Authorized Canon Dealers, Premier Partner Resellers and Authorized Distributors.
