Following the successful commissioning of the new 3A
Composites SMART-production line at the beginning of the month, the
well-proven all-plastic polystyrene sheet material FOREXsmart has been
renamed: SMART-X. For SMART-X, the all-plastic sheet material with a core of
expanded polystyrene and surfaces of impact-resistant solid polystyrene
(HIPS), is still unrivalled on the world market. This has been accentuated by
assigning SMART-X its own new designated product category, separate from the
FOREX family. The new name SMART-X also signals a change to the product
range: from now on SMART-X is also available in 2m width. As if that were not
enough: thanks to the new production line, the surface structure of SMART-X
has been enhanced. To create optimal printing results, the product now also
comes with a protective film on one side. The extremely lightweight and the
disproportionally high rigidity and flatness of SMART-X means it is ideal for
all types of signage, especially large-format signs or long and narrow signs.
SMART-X is also an optimal medium for self-supporting, free-standing
structures such as POS/POP applications. More information:

Shiraz Software supports Royal Academy Schools
postgraduates with donation of RIP Server package to drive Epson digital
print suite. Following the endowment of grant and equipment provided to the
Royal Academy Schools by Epson in 2008, an expansive and versatile RIP system
was required to take full advantage of the suite's five high-quality
wide-format printers. Shiraz Software stepped up to the mark by offering the
prestigious establishment its RIP Server package, thereby giving students the
benefit of continuous software development undertaken with fine art
applications in mind, plus central server control for the Epson suite's
versatile printing machinery. Barton Hargreaves is the Epson Print Research
Fellow at the Royal Academy Schools, forming part of a team of art
professionals who guide postgraduate students through their interdisciplinary
education. The Epson suite is a vital part of their journey in print, and
Hargreaves combines his own technical background in traditional and digital
print methodologies with his experience as an artist to help students achieve
the ambitious projects they present for their interim and graduation
exhibitions. Only 17 postgraduates are accepted from some 800 applications
every year and, for both them and Hargreaves, RIP Server is a vital portal to
experimental and creative final pieces – as is the relationship with Shiraz
Software itself. More information:

ideas
With a total of 10,700 trade visitors (previous

companies and an increase of more than 60 percent in visitor numbers,” viscom
Director Petra Lassahn declared at the close of the
fair. Expectations in some quarters that international purchasers would be
slow to order in view of the markedly weaker economic prospects throughout
Europe were not confirmed. On the contrary: almost one in four visitors came
from abroad – more than ever before. More information:
