Xitron initiates stimulus package for printers

Print Solutions

Xitron has approved a plan to assist printing companies affected by shutdowns due to the worldwide pandemic. The programme allows printers to purchase necessary RIP and workflow software with little cash outlay and interest free payments, enabling them to direct resources to employee retention and consumables.

‘We recognize the stress all businesses are enduring and want to do something that will impact our market in a positive way,’ said Karen Crews, president of Xitron. ‘These plans provide our customers the software to streamline pre-press operations without adversely affecting their cashflow.’

Most software packages are eligible under the Xitron programme guidelines, including RIP upgrades, new Navigator RIP software, RIP and workflow bundle packages, CTP interface kits, and ink key setting systems such as the Ryobi Ink Saver, which is a 64-bit Windows 10 compatible replacement for the Ryobi Ink Volume Setter. Interest free payment plans are available from 90 days to 12 months or more, depending on the package.

With Navigator products, all available options such as trapping and Raster PDF output will be enabled during the first 60 days so that users can experiment with additional functionality at no cost. ‘We are working closely with our dealers to isolate and identify end users facing tough decisions from the hardship this pandemic has created in the printing industry,’ Karen continued. ‘With their help and participation in the programme, we hope to provide a financial ‘hand-up’ to deserving printers. Xitron’s stimulus programme is slated to run through the end of June.’
