The HP Indigo EPM Preflight Solution Enfocus’ (Booth 444) solutions for the graphic arts, including Enfocus PitStop Pro, Server, Switch, and Connect have long streamlined processes for companies, large and small, around the world. In a move to further support growing verticals and support for printers and graphic arts professionals, Enfocus teamed up with HP to develop the innovative HP Indigo EPM Preflight Solution. It combines Enfocus Switch, Enfocus PitStop Server (standard), and the HP Indigo EPM Kit. The HP Indigo EPM Preflight Solution automatically preflights printready PDF files, and then routes them to EPM or non-EPM specific hot folders, based on a set of rules. Key benefits: • Increase HP Indigo EPM print volume. • Automatically sort files for printing in HP Indigo EPM mode. • Optimize manufacturing processes by reducing touch points. • Save time, reduce costs, and increase profit. Existing customers using the solution have cited the following successes in using the technology: • Processes optimized by standardizing production methods. • Significant time saved by reducing the need to manually determine which jobs can print using EPM. • Cost has been reduced and time has been saved by avoiding the need to print both CMYK and EPM versions of the same job for manually comparison and decision-making. • Increased total throughput of print jobs. • Increased print volume; increased revenue. “The HP Indigo EPM Preflight Solution from Enfocus allows us to define very specific parameters for our devices. It’s given us a confident automated workflow to save us more money with technology that we already had in place,” says Brian Scott, President at Blooming Color, Chicago, IL. “Implementing the HP Indigo EPM Preflight Solution from Enfocus has enabled us to significantly reduce our pre-press workload and improve press utilization, providing us with substantial cost savings, which can be scaled as our business continues to grow,” says Richard Charnley, Director at NXP Europe. We’ve created the playbook for success in the wide-format business. The FASTSIGNS Co-Brand Program allows you to add a FASTSIGNS center within your existing business footprint for as little as $10,000 down. Visit Us in Booth 4245 Donna Booth decided to enter the wide-format printing market, but after two years, she signed on as a FASTSIGNS® Co-Brand franchisee. What happened? “I quickly realized that I’m a printer, not a sign business expert. FASTSIGNS provided my company with the depth of operational and marketing support needed to scale my wide-format business. Now we have a proven playbook for success, and a deep bench of experts available to help make our aggressive growth plans a reality. Wide-format sales are now driving 20% of revenue and climbing.” - Donna Booth, Owner of Prestige Printing and FASTSIGNS Co-Brand Franchisee For more information, contact Mark Jameson: mark.jameson@fastsigns.com | 214-346-5679 | fastsigns.com Printerverse Stages Close Encounters With Exhibitors If you see someone dressed as a space Print Media Centr and creator of The Printerverse, brings creative and eye-catching features to the show. “This year, I’m going to have an alien standing in front of the GRAPH EXPO 15 hall with a Printerverse flag and take people on VIP tours of the Alliance booths,” says Corn. The alien will also be prowling the show floor. “I want people to say, ‘What the hell is going on?’” Today and Tuesday, look for the Alien beside the registration area at 11:00 am and 2:00 pm, where he/she/it is gathering up attendees to go on the Booth Crawl. The Crawl will also be held on Wednesday, times to be determined. The Crawl spends up to 10 minutes at each booth, where attendees get VIP tours of the larger exhibitors’ displays, and meet-and-greets with owners of the smaller exhibiting companies. The crawl will wind up in The Printerverse, where there is a special event. There is no preregistration for the Booth Crawl, and anyone can jump on whenever they see the Alien, even if it’s already in progress.
