·         :Apogee 7.0 (first time in Canada) — The newest version of the award-winning :Apogee workflow management suite includes :Apogee Impose, an imposition module that relies on live job information rather than templates to perform imposition. Additionally, :Apogee 7 allows print buyers to go beyond the web-to-print screen to create new jobs in the prepress stage with WebApproval. :Apogee 7 also includes :Apogee Portal 7, the latest version of Agfa’s popular portal for file uploading, preflighting and softproofing that provides advanced functionality for user convenience and automation.
·         Agfa’s complete portfolio of plate solutions will also be on display. Print World attendees will see the new :Amigo TS low-chemistry plate which runs up to 50 percent faster than its predecessor. :Amigo TS offers improved contrast and increased daylight stability.
Agfa has also teamed with sign and graphic arts industry supplier ND Graphics, and will be conducting live demonstrations of:
·         :Jeti 1224 UV HDC – The new :Jeti 1224 UV HDC (High Definition Color) is built on a solid steel platform and features a unique, linear motor driven vacuum bed for highly accurate dot placement in both flatbed mode or with the optional roll-to-roll (RTR) feature.
