ction
of Hi-Res Business Cards
Also at Graph Expo,
Xanté is introducing the first product built on the combined
technologies of Xanté and RIPit: new OpenRIP FastCards, the fi=
rst
system to deliver high resolution, full color prints on heavy stock -=
in
just minutes. The system provides true on-demand printing with fast
production of premium business cards, post cards, table tents, large
banners and much more. The complete, modular solution integrates the

workflow, an Ilumina 4-color digital press, a flatbed scanner and our
AdvancedScan™ software.
Says Wayne Wasulko, senior vice president for RIP
Technology at Xanté, and whose team spearheaded the effort,
"With OpenRIP FastCards, the automation and ease of use is very
unique. Our design team made the whole process so easy that anyone in=
the
organization can produce excellent results in a very short period of =
time. Businesses that print in-hou=

especially sales - requirements with truly on-demand printing, with no
compromise."
Violet Metal Pl=
ates
and Chemistry
Xanté recognizes =
that
commercial printers get better quality and economy for plates and
chemistry by getting them from a single source they can trust. As a
result, Xanté is bringing a new line of plates and chemistry to
Graph Expo. The new Harmony Violet Metal Plate™ is a photopolym=
er
digital plate designed for use with Xanté Violet Metal CTP ser=
ies
platesetters. Harmony plates are also compatible with most other viol=
et
laser platesetters. A highly durable coating provides exceptional ima=
ging
and long press runs to meet the demands of today's offset printer.
Harmony plates and chemistry have been tested to provide dep=
endable
performance when used with VM platesetters and the P24 PlateRunner
processor for a wide variety of applications including commercial,
publication printing, newspapers, and in-plant. Harmony chemistry also
works with other processors and plates. =
"Harmony plates are
accurate, durable, predictable, and easy to use. They meet our high
standards for performance and cost-effectiveness," says Robert R=
oss,
Xanté CEO. "=
;We
are pleased to add Harmony plates and chemistry to our product portfo=
lio,
so that our customers can continue to depend on Xanté to meet =
all
of their CTP needs with the same attention to customer service and
satisfaction that has been a hallmark of our company."<=
