2)     INTERGEO East 2009 postponed due to the economic crisis

INTERGEO East, the trade fair and conference for land management, geoinformation, the building industry and the environment due to be held in Istanbul in January 2009 has been postponed until 2010 due to the unstable current economic climate. "A number of exhibitors have withdrawn their registrations at short notice or chosen not proceed with their plans to participate, citing the economic crisis. As a result, we cannot guarantee an event of the quality everyone has come to expect of INTERGEO East. We have therefore taken this decision jointly with the organizing committee in Istanbul," explains Olaf Freier, CEO of HINTE GmbH, Karlsruhe, and Project Manager of INTERGEO East. Working in association with the ISPRS (International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing), the Istanbul Technical University Faculty of Civil Engineering and other network partners such as the DVW e.V. (German Association of Surveying - German Society for Geodesy, Geoinformation and Land Management) as licensors of INTERGEO East, HINTE GmbH will stage the event in Istanbul at the beginning of May 2010.

4)     Mimaki‘s latest UV innovation UJV-160 is available now

Mimaki Engineering announces the immediate availability of its future-oriented and already highly acclaimed new hybrid large format printer UJV-160. While conventional UV curing is executed by UV lamps, UV LED technology uses UV LED (Light Emitting Diodes) characterized by low heat emittance and low power requirements. Thus energy savings and the ability to print on heat-sensitive materials like PVC and cured ink membranes or on curved surfaces such as fleet markings make this technology highly desirable for both outdoor and indoor signage. The flexible ink for UV LED curing jointly developed by Mimaki and 3M adds further benefits as the ink is expandable up to 200% and does not crack when bent so allowing innovative applications to be designed and created. High image quality is ensured with variable droplets and a resolution of up to 1200 x 1200 dpi. The UJV-160 comes complete with two tables for feed and delivery enabling print service providers to print on light rigid materials as well as roll to roll.

5)     Caldera optimizes Cut Workflow even more on the Summa S class

New technical advancements in the contour cutting alignment system of the S Class, equipped with Summa’s fourth generation contour cutting device systems, allow the increase of workflow productivity when contour-cutting printed graphics, signs, labels and more. Combining Caldera’s VisualCUT Print-to-Cut workflow solution with a Summa machine allows users to manage all the stages involved in the cutting process of a printed document, from one end of the line to the other (from the document’s configuration to its cutting as such), by optimizing the key functionalities of the Summa cutters. This productive combination makes it possible to cut up a whole roll without the intervention of having to barcode it manually by an operator first. Caldera thus maximizes the use of the camera feature in the cut process. Caldera’s VisualCUT product is able to use all of Summa’s functionalities, notably when it comes to reading a barcode and fully cutting through the media, thus allowing users to access a true automated cut workflow.

7)     Neschen: Always the right combination – ColorBase now online

When a brand-name manufacturer launches a new inkjet printer onto the market, Neschen already has the appropriate colour profile in its database. The current, verified profiles are available round the clock on the Internet for virtually all Neschen media. If users have already downloaded a colour profile and it is replaced by a new one, registered users will be sent an e-mail telling them about an update. This service provides the right printing profile for all standard combinations of printers, RIP and Neschen digital printing medium and is available, free of charge from the German coating specialist at www.neschen.color-base.com. "Our ColorBase database is a system for managing and providing up-to-date colour profiles. The aim is to guarantee the colour accuracy of digital prints," explains Dirk Peereboom, Senior Product Manager, Inkjet Europe at Neschen in Bückeburg, Germany. "As a special service, we also show inkjet profiles for not quite so widely-available printer types and inks.  Profiles not yet available can be requested online and created as part of our Neschen Color Concept."

8)     HP: New low solvent inks for the outdoor graphics printing market

HP announced new HP 781 and 791 Printing Supplies, available in early 2009, for the HP Designjet 8000, HP Designjet 9000 and HP Designjet 10000 Printer series. Designed specifically for these low-solvent printers, the new ink formulations provide the reliable performance, ease of use, and vivid, durable prints that customers rely on when producing high impact signage. Customers can change to the new HP 781 and HP 791 Ink Cartridges as each color of the HP 780 or HP 790 Ink Cartridges is ready to be replaced. Because the new inks are compatible with the old inks, customers can use current HP 780 and HP 790 cleaning and maintenance supplies with new ink cartridges. Additionally, HP is ending its original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement with Seiko I Infotech (SIIT) to jointly develop and market future low solvent-based large-format printers for the outdoor graphics printing market. HP and SIIT have jointly agreed to work separately in this market space. HP plans to continue to sell the HP Designjet 8000, HP Designjet 9000 and HP Designjet 10000 printers, which were developed under the OEM agreement, in 2009 and to provide parts, supplies and customer support to the installed base of customers with these products. The company is also developing new solutions, such as the HP Designjet L65500, that will meet the needs of these customers.

10) ASLAN: New glass decoration films for bubble-free application

With glass playing an increasing role in architecture, glass decoration is gaining in popularity. Now designers can look forward to yet another innovation in film as ASLAN presents two new products. With its specially developed Dryapply technology, ASLAN’s new, self-adhesive, sandblast-look glass decoration film offers a major advantage: simple, bubble-free, dry application on any glass surface. A honeycomb structure in the release liner creates air channels in the adhesive, enabling bubbles to be simply smoothed out, and guarantees problem-free, dry application with no need for water. In addition to the very easy and quick application method, another plus is that the application tape can be removed as soon as the film has been applied. There’s no more waiting, which means users save a huge amount of time. On top of that, this sight-obscuring film is ideal for digital prints using solvent, eco-solvent and UV inks, making it the perfect choice for creative designs on glass. The film comes in two types: ASLAN EL 300, with a width of 1.26 m, for cutter plotters and ASLAN DFL 300, with a width of 1.37 m, for digital prints.

11) Regulus: Innovative inkjet special media

Today, backlits, roll-ups, pop-ups, and x-banners are the principal areas of use for innovative inkjet special media. Whenever special material properties are required, the media developed and produced by media get a chance to show off their strength: extremely brilliant colors, short drying times, excellent plane fit as well as certified resistance to age are essential factors for successful high-end use in advertising technology. Special surfaces perfectly tailored to the latest printer generations’ challenges are offered for both water-based and solvent-containing inks. At FESPA Digital in Amsterdam, the subject of „environmentally friendly film“ will also take center stage. Regulus will be presenting an „eco package“ consisting of PVC-free self-adhesive film with a PVC-free protective lamination. It can be used without any limitations when compared to traditional vinyl film.

16) Zuend: Successful implementation of cutting technology

For more than 10 years, PlotFactory, with 34 employees, has been an exceptionally dynamic, forward-thinking provider and a market leader in the Swiss graphics industry. One of the secrets behind PlotFactory’s success has been its habit of regarding unusual customer request as the driving force behind discovering new solutions. Vehicle graphics and lettering, decorating tarps and covers, posters, flags, displays – PlotFactory can handle it all with the confidence that stems from having all the necessary machinery and know-how available in-house. In October 2006, the company introduced a Zuend 3XL-3000 to its sophisticated equipment line-up and, having become more and more dependent on the Zuend’s output quality and productivity, added the latest generation G3 L-3200 in December 2008. Besides a wide range of custom applications, PlotFactory routinely produces fabric banners. Preprinted rolls of banner material simply go to the Zuend cutter for processing. Because of its considerable size, the 3XL can handle materials up to 3.2m/126in wide. Once the material is loaded, the Zuend’s integrated camera system (ICC) reads the register marks and cutting begins. By extension, an order of 150 banners can be produced in 50 minutes, which for the entire job translates into time savings of more than 6 hours.
