Nix Print Pro adds FLEXO Edition XI support across all platforms
If there's one thing that can make a packaging printer's day go sideways faster than almost anything else, it's a color problem. Which is why news from Nix Sensor Ltd. is worth paying attention to. The Hamilton, Ontario company has just added official support for the GCMI/GPI FLEXO Edition XI digital color library in Nix Print Pro, giving flexographic and packaging printers a practical, portable way to verify and communicate color against one of the industry's most widely used standards. Not every print shop does flexo packaging, so this update won't matter equally to everyone. But if you're in that space, or moving toward it, having a standardized, portable, digital reference for GCMI/GPI colors is a legitimate operational upgrade. Color problems in packaging are expensive. Tools that help prevent them tend to pay for themselves quickly. Nix Print Pro Basic is free at nixsensor.com/nix-print-pro-download.

Every so often, an opportunity comes across my desk that reminds me why this industry has such staying power, especially when a shop has been doing things right for nearly four decades.

The Strategy of Scale
We all know that in today’s marketplace, "close enough" is never enough when it comes to quality. This shop has the infrastructure to back up those expectations, operating out of a massive 20K+ square foot facility.For a strategic...

Being Hacked is Not Fun
By Noel Ward, Editor@Large Some of the most interesting things I hear from printers I visit come up after business hours. I’m sitting with the owner, having a drink before dinner. The person I’m sitting across from has a sip, then begins relating how things went sideways when the company was hacked. He recovered, but not without pain. It’s sometimes a little surprising given the amount of security built into many products. However, cyber-security still isn't top-of-mind for many print providers, even those handling sensitive data. |
