Xitron, a leading developer of open prepress workflow systems, announced that Dina Lanham has joined the Xitron Support Team as a Technical Support Specialist.

Prior to joining Xitron, Dina spent more than 20 years with xpedx and Prepress Solutions as a Senior Support Specialist providing on-site training and assistance in prepress production. She has also served as an independent technical consultant to several large printing companies around the US.

“Dina’s prepress production experience and training background make her an ideal addition to our support organization,” stated Mark Eisenschenk, Xitron's President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our customers will benefit greatly from her workflow and color management skills.”

“Training and support are my passions,” stated Lanham. “Xitron’s diverse product mix presents a great opportunity for me to help our partners keep their customers satisfied.” 

Dina will join the other Xitron support team providing technical support and training to Xitron customers and dealers around the world. Dina may be reached at 734-913-1099 or via email at [email protected].

Dina will provide training and support on Xitron’s entire line of prepress and press room products including the Navigator Workflow Server, the foundation for Xitron’s prepress and pressroom workflow products such as the Navigator Direct-to-Film, Navigator Direct-to-Plate, Navigator GPS, Navigator Elite and KeySetter Connect ink key presetting software.

Xitron’s Navigator Workflow helps prepress operators increase productivity, manage workflow, and reduce costs. An intuitive interface allows operators to manage their work from a Windows or Macintosh workstation, while directing output production through one or more Harlequin RIPs.

Inkjet workflows including the Navigator direct-to-film and direct-to-plate workflows driving Epson Stylus Pro 4900, 7700, 7890, 7900, 9700, 9890 and 9900 provide cost effective output capabilities for printers. These workflows are the latest additions to the expanding inkjet-based product offerings from Xitron.

Xitron’s Windows 7 64-bit compatible USB interfaces support Xitron’s full line of workflow products including the Navigator workflow based on Harlequin RIP core technology, Xenith Sierra based on the Adobe PDF Print Engine and Raster Blaster, a TIFF catcher capable of accepting TIFF files from a variety of third-party workflow systems and outputting to any of the hundreds of devices support by Xitron. The new USB interfaces are available for leading CTP manufacturers including Agfa, ECRM, Fuji, Heidelberg and Screen.

Xenith Sierra is the premier workflow offering in Xitron’s line of RIP and workflow solutions. Based on JDF and the Adobe PDF Print Engine technology, Xenith Sierra is an excellent solution for larger printers who need comprehensive control over every job, while automating prepress tasks, Xenith Sierra provides the tools and power to substantially increase throughput, improve quality, reduce errors, and maximize performance.

Raster Blaster accepts standard 1-bit TIFF files from virtually any prepress workflow. Xitron device interfaces convert the TIFF to the appropriate output format to drive the specific CtP, direct imaging press or imagesetter.
