Agfa Graphics to Release Apogee Upgrade, Launch Violet CTP Solution #Ipex

MORTSEL, BELGIUM—April 8, 2010—Agfa Graphics today announced that at Ipex 2010 the company will release Apogee 7 and a four-up violet chem-free CTP solution for commercial printers.

The new version of the Apogee workflow management suite includes Apogee Impose, an Agfa-developed imposition module that relies on live job information rather than templates to perform imposition. In addition Apogee 7 allows print buyers to go beyond the web-to-print screen to create new jobs in the prepress stage with WebApproval. The new version of Apogee also includes APPE 2.5, Adobe’s latest version of its native PDF renderer. Apogee 7 also allows printing companies that have digital inkjet printing capabilities to manage file distribution to different printers with their own specific application.
