Xitron—developer of Harlequin-based Navigator RIP & workflow products—have surpassed the 5,000-mark, following a recent shipment of Navigator DFE licenses to Printware for their iJetColor systems.

According to the company, the Navigator DFE is one of the most popular industry choices. It’s the “go-to” solution for the FI-1000 “Bar in a Box” printhead from HP, the VersaPass, DuraLink and DuraBolt PrintBar systems from Memjet. FI-1000 customers: Printware, AstroNova, Martin-Yale and ADSI—cover mailing & addressing, labels and commercial print markets. Similarly, Memjet OEM customers include: Printware, Quadient, Kirk-Rudy, Arrow Systems, Paper Converting Machine Company, FP Mailing, Winkler + Dunnebier and Simply Inkjet.

I am honestly surprised it is only at 5,000 units. Xitron has been around for eons as well at the Navigator system. In my travels I have seen at least a dozen different installs.

Same here. I've used them since the mid 90's in different shops.

The article actually said 35,000 installed, so you're right about that.

You're right about the 35K TJ, but their press release stated 5,000. Maybe they left out a zero?

Looks like the announcement is specifically about their DFE - Navigator software that drives *digital* devices - that doesn't include the thousands of RIPs sold to drive film and plate devices over the decades...
