Esko, X-Rite, Pantone and Enfocus participate in Drupa – Grafisch Nieuws

During Drupa, Esko introduces sCloud, a new platform based on cloud computing, data exchange and artificial intelligence (AI). All existing Esko applications – from ArtPro+, ArtiosCAD and Phoenix to Cape Pack and Automation Engine – will connect to the new platform, giving all stakeholders in the value chain real-time, 24/7 access to live data and mirrored sources, anywhere in the world . Located.

Quantum leap

“In addition, Esko sCloud is an open platform that supports communication with partners,” Esko points out. “Existing customers can seamlessly integrate their on-premises Esko applications with the sCloud platform,” said Joel DeBernet, President of Esco. “This is a new way of working and represents a paradigm shift in connected, integrated workflows.”

Additionally, Esko will offer a “Quartz Edition” of the CDI Crystal, as well as imaging and exposure solutions for the CDI Crystal XPS panel. The Quartz Edition combines CDI Crystal's enhanced optics with improved LCD displays and offers 2,000 lpi surface structures (Q-Cells), which Esko says represents a significant leap forward in print speed and quality for flexible plate imaging.

Color harmony

X-Rite will offer Autura Ink in Drupa, a cloud-based ink drafting software. Using X-Rites InkFormulation software, this platform simplifies all aspects of formulation, storage, approval, retrieval and quality control of offset, flexo, gravure and screen printing inks. “With integrated BestMatch technology and the ability to better manage diverse batches, Autura Ink helps improve efficiency and reduce waste,” she said.

In addition, X-Rite will also announce expanded capabilities for PantoneLive: a special library manager targeting packaging brands that strive to achieve color consistency in their products and communications, regardless of substrate or printing technology. “With this new ability to add custom brand colors to the PantoneLive ecosystem, brands can leverage pure spectral values ​​throughout the production process to reproduce brand colors on different substrates using different printing and ink technologies,” explains X-Rite.
