The Deregulation Of the Digital Press

The Agfa Chromapress is sporting a new i-RIP, a $30,000 Adobe PostScript RIP that Agfa is offering as a free upgrade for Chromapress 50I RIP owners.

On the variable data printing front, Agfa's Personalizer-X 2.1 and IntelliCache products are the new talk. Personalizer-X 2.1 is a new release of the Personalizer-X Quark XTension that allows the design and creation of personalized documents. The new release sports several powerful features including a new tool that allows conditional statements to be applied to the database from within QuarkXPress, on-line charting capabilities to allow data to be charted on-the-fly and scripting capabilities to enable database selection and exporting functions.
