Lyon – Alwan Color Expertise, a leader in dynamic color management and standardization technologies, will run live demonstrations of its latest Alwan PRINT Standardizer solution at Graph Expo 2010. The company will showcase the software, which comes with a new automated G7/ ISO 12647 conformance feature, on the Digital Information booth.

Graph Expo is one of the graphic communications industry's leading exhibitions and takes place October 3 – 6 2010. Digital Information can be found at booth 204.

Alwan's participation at the Digital Information stand is an excellent opportunity for the companies to demonstrate how their complementary technologies, Alwan PRINT Standardizer v2.1 and DI InkZone, help printers take automation to the next level.

David Hunter, Alwan Color Expertis's representative for North America, explains: "DI InkZone Closed loop with the press automatically adjusts the ink keys for printed solids to match ISO. Alwan PRINT Standardizer closed loop with the RIP automatically adjusts the compensation curves for TVI, NPDC and Spread to match ISO. Combining both systems gives printers a unique, fully automated instrument-RIP-press closed loop system that produces G7/ISO 12647-compliant jobs without interruption."

For Michael Haenni, General Manager at Digital Information, the companies' collaboration will enable Digital Information to provide a more comprehensive solution to satisfy its customers' evolving needs: "Digital Information has played a key role in helping printers print to ISO on any make of press, of any age. DI InkZone software's adoption worldwide underlines the importance for printers to decrease make-ready times to maximize profits from shorter print runs. However, our customers are increasingly asking us for a more complete solution that not only adjusts solids on press automatically – which DI InkZone does brilliantly – but also adjusts the gray balance, TVI and spread for full G7/ISO 12647 compliance.

"After scrutinizing the market, it was clear that Alwan PRINT Standardizer complements DI InkZone perfectly. The combined Digital Information and Alwan solution is automated, customizable and very easy to use. It's the only solution that provides a fully automated way to print practically every production sheet to standards. Delegates visiting our stand will discover how to make any press print to standards."
