What's new in Imaging Engine 14?

Imaging Engine is the RIP solution for the CDI: offering performance, reliability and compatibility with open industry standards.

Imagine Engine 14 focuses on 3 specific areas:

1. Integration
2. Quality
3. Secure migration roadmap

Integration

• integration between RIP and Esko Automation Engine
• integrated viewer for QC either standalone or via Automation Engine
• XMP data in output files (visible in viewer) provides traceability of critical parameters
• LEN format and CDI integration assures efficiency (smaller files) and quality (communication of data such as Automatic Beam Selection)

Quality

• Adobe certified FlexRip kernel, migrating to Adobe PDF Print Engine starting mid 2014
• Comprehensive range of screening for high quality in offset and flexo
• Continual new development of screening (HD Flexo, Pixel+ for example)
• Tools to efficiently manage dot gain (Curve Pilot, PressSync)

Secure migration roadmap

• Existing FlexRip and Nexus products will migrate to Imaging Engine (powered by Adobe APPE, the latest Adobe PDF Print Engine)
• After migration, existing RIP kernel can be retained for rerun of files preserving the same screening
• Ongoing Esko support and service policy
