EskoArtwork Provides Solutions at GOA 2009
GENT, Belgium—EskoArtwork will present solutions for printers at the Graphics of the Americas Exposition and Conference Feb. 26-28, in Miami. The company will demonstrate its complete solutions portfolio for commercial printers, packaging, and sign companies. EskoArtwork brings together the systems, software, and hardware, as well as the people and available information assets in order to effectively connect them into high-performance workflows.
"Graphics of the Americas is the largest show in the U.S. supporting Latin America—particularly the Caribbean, Central America and the northernmost areas of South America," explains Aleks Zlatic, EskoArtwork’s regional sales manager for Latin America. "EskoArtwork has a strong presence in these areas, and we want to assure them that they are important to us. It will be the first time they are able to see the most recent EskoArtwork solutions in action, and how well our software integrate seamlessly with one another." EskoArtwork will have a full suite of sophisticated packaging production automation software, as well as a full complement of end-to-end solutions for commercial printers.
For brand owners, converters, and trade shops, EskoArtwork will demonstrate all of the software it is known: package design, prepress, workflow automation and integration, output control, collaboration and approval. This includes an updated BackStage; the updated version 9.0 of ArtPro, seamlessly integrated into the EskoArtwork solutions portfolio; Studio, putting interactive 3D packaging creation in the hands of designers, and Visualizer, which takes graphic information of a label or package, adds information about substrates, special inks and finishes, and delivers a variety of realistic moving, interactive 2D and 3D representations of the final product. EskoArtwork will demonstrate version 7.4 of ArtiosCAD, its popular structural design software for packaging design.
Digital flexo
EskoArtwork's Digital Flexo Suite is a software solution targeted at flexo plate room operations with the objective of complete automation of flexo plate production. The collection of EskoArtwork's plate making software, designed specifically for the imaging requirements of the label and tag industry, offers significant cost savings through automated flexo plate optimization, particularly when used along with an Esko Cyrel Digital Imager (CDI) flexo plate setter and an Esko Kongsberg cutting table.
Printing partners bringing the hardware
Intermarket Co., master distributor of EskoArtwork products in Central America and the Caribbean, will be bringing an Esko CDI Spark 4835 flexo plate imager to its booth, #940. The CDI Spark 4835 images digital flexo plates up to 48" x 35", which is designed for small- and medium-volume label and folding carton flexo platemakers and converters.
Nearby, at booth 992, Hewlett-Packard will be bringing an HP Indigo digital press. HP Indigo front-end label and packaging production printing tools were created through collaboration with EskoArtwork.
