SAi to demonstrate waste-reducing and workflow-improving benefits of PixelBlaster production software at EcoPrint

Friday 13. July 2012 - End-to-end system a key contributor to maximizing lean manufacturing

SA International (SAi), a leading provider of solutions for the professional signmaking, large format digital printing and CAD/CAM for CNC machining industries, will demonstrate the efficiency-enhancing benefits of its recently launched PixelBlaster production software at the forthcoming EcoPrint Europe 2012 event, 26th-27th September, in Berlin (hall 3, stand no. 239).
Visitors to EcoPrint will have the opportunity to hear about SAi’s award-winning PixelBlaster print-to-finish production software, which contributes to promoting lean manufacturing by maximizing workflow efficiencies and increasing productivity for digital print service providers.
Increased production efficiencies
The PDF-based PixelBlaster is a genuine end-to-end system that optimizes an operation’s entire large format print workflow from pre-flight, job preparation, color management, RIP to analog or digital (CTS to screen), output check to printing and automated finishing. As the first solution of its kind to deliver standardized printing to the large format sector, PixelBlaster cuts consumables waste by ensuring each printer automatically generates exactly the same predictable and reproducible output quality and color – regardless of the brand of hardware, the type of inks or the substrates used.
These efficiencies are further enhanced, thanks to the way in which PixelBlaster’s advanced color engine allows easy integration of proofing into the production process. By accurately predicting the final output, the software solution offers a cost effective way of eliminating errors and significantly reducing media and ink wastage, while saving time.
“When addressing sustainable print production from a holistic standpoint, most print service providers would acknowledge that running a comprehensive end-to-end production workflow software plays a major contributory role in maximizing the potential of lean manufacturing”, says Gudrun Bonte, Product Manager at SAi. “PixelBlaster typifies this by enabling improved production efficiencies, while reducing waste and cutting energy consumption costs.”
PixelBlaster won the Best Wide-Format Software Solution at the 2012 EDP Awards which recognize innovative new digital products launched over the past year.
