Global Graphics sponsors Drupa PDF & XML Parc

May 8, 2008 2:50 PM

Global Graphics Software (Cambridge, England) is sponsoring the drupa “PDF and XML Production Parc” in the dip (drupa innovation parc). It will showcase the company’s range of PDF, XPS and PostScript solutions for prepress, proofing, digital print and workflow applications.

On show will be the latest version of the Harlequin RIP and the JDF-enabled Harlequin PLUS Server RIP, as well as products created from Global Graphics’ new eDocument Library, including previews of new technology for high-speed transactional processing and transpromo printing.

Martin Bailey, Global Graphics’ CTO, comments, “The theme of the PDF and XML Production Parc lends itself really well to the pioneering work we have done in our RIP and electronic document technology. Global Graphics was the first to provide a RIP with native support for both PostScript and PDF to the graphic arts market and last September we added native XPS processing when we released the Harlequin PLUS Server RIP to our OEM partners. What this means for print shops is that they won’t need to worry about which file formats they send to the RIP. This is an important advantage for those printers that either already process Microsoft files or want to grow the corporate printing side of their business. Native processing of file formats renders files more accurately and speedily because there is no conversion to an intermediary format.”

The eDocument Library provides file format conversion, manipulation, analysis and optimization capabilities with support for industry standard Page Description Languages such as PostScript, PDF, PCL and XPS as well as proprietary formats.

Global Graphics will also be participating in the JDF workflows planned for the JDF Experience Parc which is adjacent to the PDF and XML Parc in Hall 7.
