Graph Expo A Pleasant Surprise

Heidelberg showed its JDF-based preprint workflow Prinect Printready System. It maps, optimizes and automates all prepress tasks in a freely configurable, digital workflow, ensuring transparent data transfer to press and bindery.

For in-plants inundated with Microsoft Publisher documents, Markzware demonstrated an update of FlightCheck, version 4.5 for Windows. It has expanded support for Publisher 2002, as well as QuarkXPress v5.0, Adobe InDesign v2.0 and Illustrator 10. Markzware also showed off Tsunami, a virtual prepress, workflow and digital asset management solution aimed at reducing or eliminating dependency on conventional prepress.
