Introduction of SignUp nesting workflow application for digital sign production.
European introduction of Esko Kongsberg i-XE32 and i-XE54 digital finishing systems.
EskoArtwork demonstrated its expanded offering of applications for signs and displays at Fespa Digital 2008, held earlier this month in Geneva. Fespa Digital 2008 marked the launch of SignUp, a new integrated nesting application for sign and display, as well as the European introduction of new, wider Kongsberg iXE32 and iXE54 tables.
SignUp: Nesting worklow application for digital sign production
Built on EskoArtwork’s expertise in layout technology for packaging printing, SignUp is a nesting application to efficiently match graphic designs with the available substrate. SignUp nests jobs based on size, shape and ordered quantities, placing designs as tightly as possible onto the substrate, minimizing waste and, thus, reducing production costs. SignUp also reduces preparation times dramatically for operator-intensive tiling jobs, particularly for specially shaped large format displays and substrates that require milling. It fully automates the digital printing and the finishing by reading the printed barcodes with the camera on the finishing device.
Esko Kongsberg i-XE32 digital finishing systems
For the first time in Europe, EskoArtwork demonstrated the Esko Kongsberg i-XE32 dieless cutting and creasing table, with a working area of 1300x1620mm. Kongsberg i-XE models provide the highest speed, acceleration and precision cutting available in the graphics industry. Screen printed decals, digitally printed POP displays, and pressure-sensitive films, among others, are perfectly kiss-cut or through-cut, using an advanced motion system and patented i-cut® vision system. Esko Kongsberg i-XE tables feature a new tooling system and a lightning-fast motion to increase productivity on a wide range of display substrates.
A variety of tooling includes: a PressCut tool allowing kiss and through cutting within the same job; a VariCut tool used for kiss cutting with fine depth tolerance and through-cutting within the same job; a Static Knife tool for through-cutting of thin, rigid materials such as polycarbonates; a Reciprocating Knife tool suitable for single-flute corrugated board up to and including C-flute and other light-duty fibrous materials; and a Crease tool for creasing folding cartons and corrugated board.
Also demonstrated:
were the Esko Kongsberg i-XL24 : a large-format finishing table with a powerful MultiCUT toolhead;
ArtiosCAD 7.3 structural design system for all corrugated and POP display, plus two products from Enfocus:
Enfocus Neo stand-alone PDF viewer and editor; and Enfocus PitStop Professional, which allows users to perform advanced PDF editing and corrections up until the very last moment and finally,
Enfocus PitStop Server : a PDF workflow preflighting and auto-correction solution that instantly analyzes, corrects, reports on, and routes files based on the most stringent industry standards.
All solutions demonstrated at Fespa Digital 2008 are available for immediate delivery.
