It prints on rigid materials up to 4.45 cm thick. Color gradients are smooth in the printer's six-color/600 dpi mode, and the accurate and easily repeatable matching of target colors is now possible for commercial imagers. visualcommunication Paris 2005: booth G 21 - H 22 More information: www.vutek.com 6) Mutoh at viscom with its latest printers

8) GCC launched the StellarJet inkjet printerGCC, headquartered in Taiwan, has launched the StellarJet 250 UV inkjet printer for the Asia market. The StellarJet employs UV-curable inks to print across a wide range of flexible and rigid substrates. Utilizing six ink colors in addition to white (basecoat, overcoat, spot color), the StellarJet 250UV features advanced technology such as an automatic ink-refilling system, and a media thickness auto calibration function. The StellarJet 250UV offers high-speed printing up to 96 sqm/h, allowable media thickness up to 5 cm, a user-friendly interface, and innovative technologies. Utilizing six ink colors in addition to white, the Stellar Jet is the ideal large-format printer for indoor/outdoor signage, screen-printing, point of purchase advertisements, vehicle graphics, display graphics, posters, exhibitions graphics, backlit displays, rigid boards, and more. The StellarJet features industry-leading technology such as an automatic in-refilling system, which continuously monitors the remaining ink levels for each color container and automatically refills nearly depleted containers from a self-contained ink supply tank. The automatic ink-refilling process takes place in the middle of a print job, resulting in minimal production downtimes. In addition, a press of a button will engage the media-thickness auto-calibration function, which automatically adjusts the StellarJet 250UV's print heads to the optimized print position based on the thickness of the loaded print media.

ColorGATE:
Print drivers and X-Rite DTP70
ColorGATE offers new print drivers for
their products Productionserver4, Photogate4, and Proofgate4. In addition,
all ColorGATE products will support the X-Rite DTP70 color measurement
solution. The integration of the spectrophotometer X-Rite DTP70 in ColorGATE
products serves for fast and accurate measurement of inkjet proofs.
Professional users within the graphic arts industry can in combination with
ColorGATE products read color data faster, and if necessary, manually
intervene into the process. Proofgate4, Productionserver4, as well as
Photogate4 (the last two with optional proofing module) can output legally
binding proofs according to the Media Standard Print as well as according to
FOGRA-guidelines, on inkjet printers. As a company independent of the major
manufacturers, ColorGATE is in constant communication with all the major
companies in this industry. Direct contact with virtually all printer makers,
for example makes it possible to optimally harmonize the software with their
printing systems. The products therefore fulfill all the ergonomic,
stability, and quality demands of the market. The popular solution
Productionserver4 is available in three versions: Raster, Select, and PRO.
The functional expandable starter-software can work with rasterized data,
such as TIF and JPG. Further features of Productionserver4 Raster and Select
include rotation, mirroring, copying and much more. For clients, which up to
now have not been working with the new V4-solutions of Productionserver4,
Photogate4, and Proofgate4, ColorGATE recommend, that they upgrade on the new
software version. Next to quality enhancements introduced and the number of
new profiles, which can be obtained via the distributors, the update offers
significant production improvements. viscom: hall 6,

The main system is ready for the next copy within seconds and a pro-scan is no longer needed. As a result, Colorado 2005 (a.k.a. CopySystems 2005) boosts color-copying productivity by up to 200 percent, while reducing operator time by up to 70 percent. Other new features are: scan-to multi-page PDF, scan to HP-RTL, print individual pages of multi-page documents, printer drivers for Epson, Mutoh, Océ and Seiko.

Heytex:
Print + Stick – a new Frontlit
More information: www.heytex.com 14) MACtac offers two new filmsMACtac labs have made a revolutionary discovery, making it possible to offer a self-adhesive film, which is easier to apply and repositioning than traditional films: MACtac 9800 Bubble Free. Film applicators can save up to 50 percent application time as air bubbles and wrinkles are easily pushed out thanks to the microstructure of the adhesive layer. MACtac's unique manufacturing process makes it possible to form the siliconized liner to obtain a three-dimensional microstructure in the adhesive. As a cutting blade is not required to pierce bubbles, it eliminates the risk of damaging the substrate. The 9800 Bubble Free construction also offers the following benefits: a film, which is easy to plotter cut and to weed, an excellent opacity and a 7 to 8 years outdoor durability. The MACtac MACphospho 100 as the second new self-adhesive Film, helps converters make signs more visible in total darkness conditions to increase safety in public buildings, factories, restaurants, theaters, schools etc. Everywhere safety must be organized professionally or where the law imposes safety norms. MACphospho 100 is a yellow-green self-adhesive vinyl offering a higher intensity: the luminance measured when the film has been initially charged at 1,000 lux for 5minutes is five times higher than that of competitive products. MACphospho 100 is cadmium free, non-radioactive, and is coated with a permanent acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive. It offers a five-year durability for indoor use. More information:
www.mactac-europe.com 15) ASLAN: It just worksThe worldwide supplier of self adhesive
films ASLAN, Schwarz GmbH & Co. KG presents its range of products for
digital printing at the viscom 2005 in Düsseldorf, Germany. The ASLAN films
for prints with solvent based colors provide excellent printing results. The
specially composed product program covers various application purposes and a
wide range of durability's. In addition to the digital printing films ASLAN
offers a range of self-adhesive lamination films which protect the prints

attention shall be drawn on two new ASLAN lamination films: The highly
transparent glossy anti-Graffiti film ASLAN SL 95 with a thickness of 50
micron has a special surface in order to protect prints against aggressive
Graffiti's over a long period of time. The floor graphics lamination film
ASLAN MP 325 with a thickness of only 125 micron has a structured
non-slippery surface which gives ideal protection for floor graphics and
advertisings. Both products are offered in the roll size of 50 m x 1,37 m. viscom,: hall 6, booth K 49 More information:

Alvin Carranz, founder and president of Mac Graphics Carranz, was recently informed; his masterpiece is in the process of being verified as the largest billboard in the world. Located in EDSA Guadalupe, Makati City, the billboard consists of 27 total pieces divided into three sections. A two-inch gap between each section allows the structure to remain durable against wind resistance or other harsh weather conditions. The entire billboard was printed on the Jeti 3300 from Gandinnovations, which Carranz said performed to his standards. "With the Jeti 3300 it was not as difficult as you think it might be. The Gandinnovation's Jeti performed well and all the pieces matched up easily and quickly." Carranz admits the toughest part was making a single steel structure to mount the printed material. The "world's largest billboard" reaches 275,000 potential clients daily, a rather conservative count considering the increasing volume of pedestrians and MRT commuters in the area. viscom: hall 6, booth

before they invest, and this is the attraction of our forum." Talks in
the program will be given by leading textile machine manufacturers such as
Reggiani, Stork, Konica, Honghua, Robustelli/Epson, plus ink, software and
textile substrate manufacturers and system end-users. The Seminar, held at
