The company planned to introduce the first Stream product at Drupa in the form of a 4˝ print head capable of printing with black ink at a 600 dpi resolution. Also set for launch was the Versamark VL2000 color ink-jet (drop-on-demand) printing system capable of printing 250 fpm at 600 dpi.

Attendees clearly came to the GUA conference to learn, even given the temptations of Vegas. A session on Prinergy 5.0 was standing room only and the hot ticket (for an additional fee) was to the “Rules-based Automation” class sessions. More than 50 presentations and roundtable discussions were offered over the course of four days, covering topics such as workflow, color management, digital printing, sustainability, MIS and transitioning from a printer to marketing services provider. There was also a lab area where hands-on product demonstrations were offered.
