Xitron launches Navigator Flexo Suite for labels

Labels Solutions

Xitron is launching the new Navigator Flexo Suite: Label, designed as a powerful workflow for flexo label printers who have outgrown basic RIPs and need more automation. Comprised of Harlequin RIP, plus Mac and PC client access, hybrid screening, advanced and automated step and repeat functionality, and robust trapping tools, the workflow rivals established systems with much higher prices.

‘Navigator Flexo Suite: Label is uniquely positioned in terms of price and performance,’ said Karen Crews, president of Xitron. ‘Whether you are looking to replace an older system with high maintenance and upgrade costs or bringing platemaking in-house with one of the newer flexo CTP engines that are now widely available, Flexo Suite: Label has the ideal feature set for narrow web label production.’

‘Two of the standout features in this product are the vector based trapping module and the easy to use step and repeat functionality built into the workflow, which were delivered in partnership with our sister company Hybrid Software,’ added Eric Nelsen, vice president of product development. ‘These allow the operator to submit jobs quickly and efficiently into the system, apply the requisite trap settings to the PDF, configure step and repeat, add marks, and output press ready plates. Most importantly, instead of relying on a single seat license that limits this functionality to one operator, Flexo Suite: Label puts these tools in the hands of each operator through the Mac and PC compatible client interface.’
