“This is a watershed moment for
small-to-medium sized label companies looking to improve their prepress
capabilities, or even bring them in-house for the first time,” said Eric
Nelsen, Vice President of Product Development for Xitron. “Navigator F/P was
designed to be as simple and intuitive as possible with no proprietary
restrictions on output. So whether the choice is film, direct-to-plate, or high
speed digital, Navigator directs the process accordingly.”
Navigator F/P combines the
stability of the Harlequin RIP, the performance of the Navigator workflow, and
the power of an Adobe Illustrator plug-in to create film- or plate-ready
artwork in logical, efficient steps. The Illustrator plug-in provides tools
familiar to the operator while the intuitive workflow GUI offers
start-to-finish control over each job from any workstation.
Xitron will be demonstrating
Navigator F/P and the Variegator variable data option in booth 3823 during the
exhibition September 9th through the 11th at the Donald E. Stephens Convention
Center near Chicago’s O’Hare airport. Navigator will also be showcased in the
Anderson & Vreeland booth (929), as well as IPT Digital (5611) and Super
Web Digital (1649), where it is the RIP of choice for their high-speed inkjet
presses.
Navigator’s acceptance across
such a wide range of systems and applications speaks volumes about its
versatility,” added Nelsen. “Coupled with its low cost of ownership and
seamless integration, Navigator is poised to play a significant, contributory
role in the ongoing transformation of label printing.”
