Alwan Records 28% Revenue Increase

Alwan Color Expertise enjoyed a successful GraphExpo, which helped the French software innovator record a 28% year-on-year revenue increase.  The company’s flagship products, CMYK Optimizer ECO, which includes the unique Dynamic Ink Optimization technology, and PRINT Standardizer, which includes the unique Dynamic Press Calibration technology, accounted for more than 15 of the on-show and post-show sales.  Alwan, which shared two booths with Digital Information and Techkon USA, conducted more than 30 demonstrations of its system-automated press calibration technology with Techkon SpectroDrive and Digital Information InkZone systems.
 
Alwan ran demonstrations of its industry-leading CMYK Optimizer software with its unique transparency and color management features.  Demonstrations of PRINT Standardizer highlighted the software’s raft of technical benefits, including its seamless interface with Techkon and X-Rite instruments; its dynamic analysis of measurements; its calculation of optimal dot gain compensation curves for the RIP, sheet and job conformity reports according to ISO 12647; and a new feature of version 2.1 – a grey balance report according to G7® metrics.
 
According to Dave Hunter, Alwan's representative for North America: ‘It was heartening to see so many American printers appreciate the need to work to international standards. After witnessing the demonstrations on the booths, they could see how Alwan products are the most effective solutions for achieving such standardization.’
