Xitron launches Navigator Flexo Suite for Labels

On display for end users will be Xitron’s new Navigator Flexo Suite for Labels, designed as a powerful workflow for flexo label printers that have outgrown basic RIPs and need more automation. Comprised of Harlequin plus Mac and PC client access, hybrid screening, advanced and automated step and repeat functionality and robust trapping tools, the workflow aims to rival established systems.

‘Navigator Flexo Suite for Labels is uniquely positioned in terms of price and performance,’ said Karen Crews, president of Xitron. ‘Whether you’re looking to replace an older system with high maintenance and upgrade costs or bringing platemaking in-house with one of the newer flexo CTP engines that are now widely available, Flexo Suite for Labels has the ideal feature set for narrow web label production.’

‘Two of the standout features in this product are the vector-based trapping module and the easy-to-use step and repeat functionality built into the workflow, which was delivered in partnership with our sister company Hybrid Software,’ added Eric Nelsen, vice president of product development at Xitron. ‘These allow the operator to submit jobs quickly and efficiently into the system, apply the requisite trap settings to the PDF, configure step-and-repeat, add marks, and output press-ready plates. Most importantly, instead of relying on a single seat license that limits this functionality to one operator, Flexo Suite for Labels puts these tools in the hands of each operator through the Mac and PC-compatible client interface.’
