Exhibitor Previews Offer Tidbits and Bytes

On the proofing front, the version of DiALOGUE demonstrated at Drupa will feature text extraction capability that enables users to cut/paste text from the proof into a posted comment. In addition, Dalim will offer a “technology demonstration” of the Virtual Library option for PRiNTEMPO and MiSTRAL that provides an interactive simulation of the actual printed piece. Users can turn pages in an animated, curl fashion that mimics a printed piece, and pages can reflect paper characteristics such as show through and brightness. UPM-Kymmene has signed a deal to use the technology as a selling tool to demonstrate printed results on different paper stocks.
