Lyon - Alwan Color Expertise, a leader in dynamic color management and standardization technologies, today announced it is launching a suite of products at IPEX that are designed to integrate multiple workflows to ensure conformity to ISO 12647 standards. The suite includes software solutions that have enabled more than 50 companies worldwide to obtain PSO/ISO 12647 certification.

"For years, printers have been looking for solutions to help them stabilize their production processes and meet ISO 12647-2 requirements," said Elie Khoury, Alwan's President. "But this can be a daunting process. With print buyers increasingly demanding consistent proof of ISO 12647 compliance, it is critical for printers to step up their efforts to gain certification and demonstrate compliance on a daily basis. Alwan has developed these solutions in to allow printers to more easily gain certification and operate under those requirements with little effort or external assistance." Khoury points out that all checks, corrections and process assessments performed on files or on press using Alwan solutions are documented in compliance reports. Those reports delivered by all Alwan solutions conform to  ISO 9000 quality management requirements, delivering an unprecedented level of operational security and information traceability.

Alwan will be exhibiting its suite of ISO 12647 solutions in Hall 11, Stand E234, at IPEX 2010. The company plans to offer promotional pricing, product bundling and the opportunity for visitors to win prizes during the show.

Alwan ISO 12647 Compliance and Certification Solutions
The Alwan ISO 12647 compliance and certification suite consists of four independent software modules that can be used either separately or in conjunction with each other to ensure total ISO 12647 compliance throughout production:
- PDF production with PDF Standardizer 2.0
- Color separations and Ink Reduction with CMYK Optimizer 3.8
- Press and Printer Calibration: Print Standardizer 2.0
- Proof and Print Production Certification: Print Verifier 1.0

Alwan solutions offer the unique ability to check, correct and report on any operation conducted on color data, PDF files, or printer/press dot gain.  Alwan's software suite brings an unparalleled level of control to the print production workflow as well as a high degree of security made possible by the common settings used within the suite.

"By bringing together these four modules" concluded Khoury, "Alwan has again demonstrated its deep color expertise and dedication to bringing the delivery of ISO compliant color within easy reach for any printing operation. We are excited to welcome visitors to our stand at IPEX to see this unique suite in action."
