AquaEndure inks have no odor, and cover a range of market applications, starting with wall coverings, wraps and flexible signage, with expanded media suitable for food-contact packaging.
- The world’s most advanced Fiery DFE
New Fiery XB DFE platform for ultra high-speed inkjet presses, powering the next generation, high-speed inkjet presses from Canon, EFI, Landa and Xerox, at speeds running the equivalent of roughly 173 cut-sheet toner engines printing simultaneously at 100 pages per minute.
- 2 new packaging workflow products
EFI Productivity Suites–end-to-end corrugated board manufacturing solutions for box plants, sheet feeders, and sheet plant printing workflows.
Publication Print Suite–an end-to-end Suite for publication printers producing books, newspapers, magazines, periodicals, catalogs, and high-volume direct mail.

Ultimate Partners for automated, on-demand book finishing

- Ultimate & Meccanotecnica have formed a partnership to help printers and binders produce millions of books daily by automating stitching from sheetfed and webfed presses. In 1989, when Ultimate launched the first imposition software, they were bringing book imposition from manual stripping to a computer driven task. http://www.meccatec.it/

Ultimate and Muller Martini partner to bring PDF/VT Imposition to Personalized Books and Magazines
Muller Martini integrates Impostrip® VDP imposition as part of the Connex system, managing the entire manufacturing process from job submission to finished books or magazines, thus offering a better cost-effective solution for book-of-one and personalized magazines. The key element is the way the PDF data from upstream ordering system is handled to produce variable size and quantity copies and build the data with all personalized marks and barcodes for various purposes: tracking and finishing.
