Four Pees at Ipex 2010!

Friday 26. March 2010 - Four Pees and its partners to showcase automation and quality optimization solutions at Ipex 2010

Four Pees, an international sales and marketing organization dedicated to the Print & Publishing market, is bringing partners and resellers such as axaio, callas, Elpical, Colour Collective and Workflowz together at Ipex 2010 to show the latest automation and color optimization solutions. The Four Pees exhibit will be in hall 11, stand F222.

New DFlux: modular and advanced automation made easy
Four Pees will use Ipex 2010 as the worldwide launch platform for its new automation solution, DFlux. Based on Enfocus and callas technologies, DFlux provides a full production automation platform and an easy-to-use interface to automate any action, from file reception and routing, PDF checking and correction, to file delivery or output. DFlux interacts with applications such as Adobe Creative Suite and supports automatic file standardization of a vast series of incoming file formats. This greatly reduces the amount of errors and file make-ready time. DFlux is a modular solution that can be expanded with automatic image enhancement and output automation options.

ProofMaster & PrintFactory v4: increased quality and production automation
The recently introduced version 4 of ProofMaster and PrintFactory will also be displayed.

ProofMaster Plus builds on basic contract proofing to provide a full range of tools for color, standardization, quality control and correction. ProofMaster Certify is the solution for out-of-the-box, standard compliant proofing. While PrintFactory v4 includes a basic RIP, it goes beyond to offer a complete solution covering all aspects of large format production, from file preparation to output and finishing.

axaio MadeToPrint: multi-channel output automation
axaio software GmbH will demonstrate the advantages of its MadeToPrint InDesign Server. Enhancing, ensuring and streamlining all output processes from within Adobe’s professional layout application, MadeToPrint InDesign Server offers maximum power and flexibility for automatic creation and print production of PostScript, EPS, Flash CS4, SWF, IDML and PDF files. The companion plug-in is aimed at publishing, prepress and graphic arts users who need to process more than five InDesign files a day.

callas software PDF solutions: All-in-one PDF automation from preflighting to archiving
callas software GmbH focuses at Ipex on their pdfToolbox Server version 4.5 – an automation solution that offers the complete range of PDF functionality, from preflighting and fixing to impositioning and repurposing. pdfToolbox Server is the ideal engine for print production, PDF/X standard compliant file exchange, presentation preparation, repurposing, or any other type of document analysis or processing.
Specifically for solutions with a web-based front end, callas software has developed an example implementation showing various possible cases of pdfToolbox Server 4 when integrated into a web-portal. Based on the pdfToolbox SDK, it features the use of dynamic preflight profiles, checking for instance the resolution against a value entered by the user, or rendering images to different image file-formats based on user input. The sources of this example implementation will be made available to interested partners and clients.

Elpical Claro 7: The most complete image enhancement workflow
Elpical will release version 7 of its Claro range of image optimization products:
•    Claro Layout for desktop image optimization within Adobe InDesign
•    Claro Single for server-based fully automatic image optimization
•    Claro Premedia, a complete client/server image enhancement solution combining the benefits of server-based image processing with the personal touch of an operator.
Elpical offers major improvements in areas such as skin-tone handling and jpeg artifact reduction, as well as in the Claro Individual Image Analysis technology.
This release also focuses on improved workflow with the newest Claro Premedia Job Client, which adds Adobe InDesign integration.

Workflowz represents brands such as axaio, callas, Elpical and CtrlPublishing.
