Graph Expo--A Show of Shows

Digital asset management sophistication was trumpeted by Canto, Imation, Inso, Marcus Technology, North Plains and other top players in asset manipulation.

The thermal push throughout the prepress segment remained strong, with Agfa showcasing the thermal version of its digital platesetter, Galileo, and Optronics promoting its new ThermalSetter imagers, which use the Kodak IR thermal diode imaging head to expose thermal plates and film. In other thermal moves, Creo showed its family of thermal imagers, including Trendsetter, and Scitex pumped the Lotem 800V thermal platesetter, plus a new version of the Brisque digital front end.
