Tuesday 23. October 2012 - :Apogee PrePress v8 awarded VIGC Label

Agfa Graphics’ :Apogee v8 workflow software was awarded the ‘Passed’ accreditation in the extensive RIP testing for correct rendering of a very broad set of PDF/X-4 features. The series of tests was run by the VIGC, the Flemish Innovation Centre for Graphic Communication in Belgium.
“:Apogee PrePress v8 was introduced at drupa 2012 and has the latest Adobe PDF Print Engine built in,” says Erik Peeters, Marketing Manager at Agfa Graphics. “We have always been amongst the first to implement the most advanced PDF processing and value independent product compliance testing. In an open system environment the compatibility amongst systems is crucial. We were keen to take part and pleased with the result.”
In a press release, VIGC revealed that PDF RIP output is making significant strides forward in terms of reliability and predictability. The organization ran its latest round of testing in the run-up to Graph Expo.
