Successful IfraExpo 2008 for Krause
Monday 01. December 2008 - Successful Ifra Exposition brings confidence for the Krause future
With world premieres and product novelties in the bag, the IfraExpo 2008 was very successful for Krause. Besides successful deals in Asia and Europe, the feedback for the premiere of the Krause XJet Waterless platesetter was consistently positive and was considered as one of the major highlights at the exhibition.
With the LS Jet 350 platesetter, Krause could underline its claim for the technology leadership in CTP for newspapers. With up to 350 printing plates per hour, it was shown again that the Krause LS Jet platform produces groundbreaking innovations throughout the years.
Secure innovations for the future were shown by Krause in the form of the CF kit for the BlueFin processor for processing the new chemical free plates. Visitors could see live demos at the Krause and the Fujifilm booth.
A special Krause LS Jet, the LS Jet Asia for extra long printing plates was shown at the 2B booth.
Regional newspapers could see the Krause SmartnEasy line, a complete concept targeted to their needs, from workflow to the finished printing plate.
Important novelties were also introduced in the workflow portfolio: the new module “Ink-Adjust” allows color adoption of PDF data and enables ink saving by up to 20% in practice. In times of resource optimization and environmentally friendly production, this new solution was well received.
After an eventful exhibition year for Krause, the annual Ifra Party was celebrated together with customers, partners and friends in Amsterdam.
“Satisfied customers, new dealers and markets, a good order volume as well as an optimal product portfolio let us, despite of the financial crisis, look confidentially into the future, because investments in the prepress area allow savings and optimization of production processes”, says Dr.-Ing. Hans-Jürgen Wessel – Managing Director at Krause – Biagosch GmbH.
