Cortron Corporation, North America's leading manufacturer of step and repeat platemaking equipment and prepress solutions, announces partnership with Xitron, an independent developer and integrator of Raster Image Processors, to develop a new stripping and imposition product called XiStrip. The XiStrip imposition engine is installed on the RIP server.
Jobs are RIPped to single files and proxy files are created for use in the imposition layout client.
When the layout is printed the high resolution RIPped page is inserted, providing a post-RIP imposition workflow. XiStrip will be offered in two configurations, Basic and Professional. XiStrip Professional will add a more automated imposition workflow. Together we can focus on offering end users scaleable solutions in post-ripped page placement. XiStrip Basic is expected to ship the second quarter of 2000 and XiStrip Professional is expected to ship the third quarter of 2000.
