Design, Print, Cut Demo at Dscoop7
MIAMISBURG, Ohio—At the Dscoop7 exhibition, March 22-24 in Washington, DC, Platinum Sponsors EskoArtwork and PriscoDigital will demonstrate a complete, practical production workflow, from design to print to cut. The demonstration will take place in a 20´ x 40´ booth next to the HP.
PriscoDigital and EskoArtwork will be creating, printing and finishing 3D POP/POS displays as well as some interesting 2D samples. The wide-format inkjet workflow will feature an EskoArtwork i-cut Suite front-end workflow, preparing files for print while creating cutting instructions for the finishing table. PDF print files will travel to a Caldera RIP before being printed on an HP Scitex FB 700 Printer. Printed sheets will be cut on an EskoArtwork Kongsberg i-XP 24 finishing table. The complete solution is ideal for anyone who needs to create printed material requiring multiple shapes and cutouts. The booth will also highlight the HP Scitex LX 850 printer and the complete EskoArtwork Suite 10 portfolio of packaging workflow solutions. PriscoDigital and EskoArtwork can provide Dscoop attendees scheduled personalized demos.
“Many companies forget that printing is just one component of getting a job out the door. Finishing is required, too. Esko has both the finishing hardware and structural and graphic workflow software to cover all aspects of a job. Print providers can expand capabilities to new applications making the world less rectangular with creative 3D packaging and display projects,” remarks Eric A. Gutwillig, VP of Marketing for PriscoDigital. “Meanwhile, you still need a good digital press up-front. What makes the FB 700 digital press special is that it is geared to anyone who needs to create printed materials that require multiple shapes and cutouts—from packaging comps to displays. It can allow print providers to expand their capabilities to new applications.”
PriscoDigital is both an HP Scitex ‘Graphic Specialist’ top tier dealer to commercial printers, as well as an EskoArtwork reseller, enabling PriscoDigital, the digital division of the Prisco Group of Companies, to sell EskoArtwork’s Kongsberg finishing tables and software solutions to commercial printers in the U.S. and Canada.
“Prisco’s expertise is evident as the HP Graphics Specialist distributing HP Scitex wide format inkjet systems to commercial printers—while EskoArtwork brings value before and after print, offering the workflow and finishing tools to support wide format digital presses,” comments Bill Hartman, Vice President Business Development, Digital Finishing. “There are very few shows offering live demonstrations where people can see a complete, practical production workflow. Prisco and Esko have combined to build a complete design to print to cut demonstration at Dscoop that offers time savings and cost solutions to HP Scitex printer owners. And the best part is that printers can make money from this. This is a real, profitable solution.”
