CARLSTADT, NJ—Under new licensing agreements signed with Pantone Inc., support for the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM and Goe System will now be available from Exstream Software by HP in its Dialogue 7.0 software and with all Kodak Nexpress digital color presses in early 2009.

ROCHESTER, NY—Kodak’s Print On-Demand Solutions Group reports implementing JDF-based integration of its CREO color servers to the Hiflex MIS solution and Printable Technologies’ FusionPro variable data publishing and Web-to-print solutions. Both products communicate job parameters (such as customer info, order number, etc.) to the servers. With the Hiflex MIS, the servers can return job processing updates (status, processing times, etc.) via JMF messaging.
