DRUPA 2000--Absorbing The Digital Impact

New PDF workflows included nAct from IPTech, which is based on Adobe Extreme architecture and accepts composite and preseparated PostScript and PDF jobs. Also new to the PDF workflow circuit are a more definitive Screen TrueFlow and KIM by Krause.

Harlequin unveiled MAXWorkflow, a digital workflow management system integrated with Harlequin RipFlow technology and featured on the ECRM stand. (MAXWorkflow fed a select assembly of ECRM imagesetters: the 25˝ Stingray 63, the Mako imagesetter, which produces polyester plates, and the Marlin imagesetter for film production.) Developed with Harris Publishing Systems, it can handle all industry standard files, including PDF.
