Xitron, a leading independent developer of RIP and workflow products for commercial, digital and high-speed inkjet printing, has released Navigator Northstar through its worldwide dealer network. Navigator Northstar improves the colour accuracy of Astrojet M1/M2 Printers as well as the Colordyne 1600 (C & S), RTI-Digital Vortex 850/851, Trojan One, and Formax Colormax (among others), all of which use the Memjet Northstar inkjet printhead. A complete list of compatible Memjet-based printers can be found at http://www.xitron.com/products/navigator-northstar.
“Digital printing doesn’t have to equate to a lack of colour control,” said Jeffrey Piestrak, Xitron Product Manager. “The colour adjustment tools built into this workflow make it extremely easy to match a job’s spot colours without impacting the rest of the document. Users adapt quickly to the intuitive interface, which guides the operator through the process. The result is a near immediate increase in productivity with the colour accuracy people are looking for. By combining the power of the Navigator Harlequin RIP with Xitron’s colour transform technology, what you see is what you print – consistently,” he added.”
Designed for the desktop envelope, flyer and label market, Navigator Northstar includes Navigator RIP version 10.1r2, Navigator Colour Matching Workflow, and the Northstar connectivity plug-in developed by Xitron. The system is multi-platform compatible and accessible from anywhere on a user’s network.
