COMPUTER-INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING -- Systems that Serve a Greater Good

Artwork Systems used GRAPH EXPO as a forum to officially launch Odystar, its native PDF (1.4) workflow that implements JDF. Utilizing PDF as its internal format, the system incorporates Enfocus' PitStop and Certified PDF technologies to provide automatic file preflight and correction.

Odystar is targeted to mid-range commercial printers and reportedly can turn any existing RIP environment into a full PDF workflow through use of its file flattening and printing capabilities. It runs on the Mac OS X platform.
