EskoArtwork introduces raft of new upgrades at Ipex

Stand 12/C150 at Ipex will see EskoArtwork presenting a raft of upgrades and improvements to its software and hardware designed to help customers remove time and cost - including a new Automation Engine for its pre-press software and new automated options for the Kongsberg digital cutting system. 

Suite 10 is Esko's integrated software solutions for commercial and packaging printers, which at Ipex will feature the launch of the new Automation Engine along with version 10 releases of all editors including ArtPro, PackEdge, DeskPack, ArtiosCAD and Studio. 

The new automated Kongsberg i-XE10 will be on show, enabling automated production of digital finishing for commercial, digital and sign work. Esko will also show its 'digital flexo' product range, including Cyrel Digital Imagers (CDIs) and its 'groundbreaking' 4,000dpi HD Flexo technology, said to be capable of producing plates with 'near offset' quality.
