Xitron Announces Partnership with Dynagram to Bundle DynaStrip with Workflow Products

Ann Arbor, MI -- Xitron, the industry's leading independent developer and integrator of Raster Image Processors, announced a partnership with Dynagram to bundle DynaStrip with workflow products. In the OEM agreement signed on February 20, 2004, Xitron is now a licensed distributor for DynaStrip imposition products. Dynagram will offer support, training, upgrade and installation services to end users through their network of certified trainers.. On-line training is also available from Staffing Tools.

In response to requests from dealers and end users for Xitron to provide a 'single source' for a complete prepress workflow solution, Xitron will now offer a DynaStrip as a part of the Xenith Extreme bundles available from Xitron dealers. Xenith Extreme still supports virtually any off-the-shelf imposition package, providing an "open" and flexible system and allowing customers to choose the components their prepress workflow. By offering DynaStrip Xitron allows customers the option of acquiring the entire solution from Xitron, or building a unique configuration for themselves.

Xitron chose to offer the DynaStrip solutions for several reasons. The superior imposition application provides state-of-the-art tools for configuring imposition layouts. The intuitive user interface is preferred by many prepress operators. In addition, the optional tools available from Dynagram are unmatched by the competition and include the Automation option ideal for publishing and newspaper production.

Furthermore, Dynagram is a leader in progressive development and adoption of JDF technology enabling Xitron to achieve its goals with JDF in Xenith Extreme. JDF is an integral part of the future of Xenith Extreme, and partnering with vendors like Dynagram who provide JDF enabled products is essential for successful implementation of this new technology. Xenith Extreme will use the JDF technology to allow users to fully automate their imposition when using DynaStrip with Xenith.

"We look forward to making the integration and installation of an all-digital workflow easier for our customers and our dealers," explains Jeffrey Nelson, Xenith Workflow Product Manager. "We are pleased to partner with Dynagram in this effort and for implementing features using JDF technology. Dynagram has been a close Xitron partner for some time and this is a natural progression of that relationship"

"Xitron and Dynagram have formed a solid partnership, from both a business and technological standpoint," said François Guérard, President of Dynagram. "This agreement attests to our continuous commitment to bringing a robust and easy-to-use end-to-end worflow to Xitron's dealers and customers, with sophisticated JDF-enabled imposition capabilities."
