Scissorhands@Argos Inspiration Days · March 6th-8th 2018
Scissorhands is one of the most amazing software/hardware combinations we have experienced in the printing industry – insert a circuit board. Connect to the Internet. Now everybody can manage the guillotine and get the cutting done. See and hear more at www.argosinspirationdays.com
Okay. With Scissorhands software, we automate cutters. We take the JDF in the PDF from your pre-press, we send the JDF up to the cloud and create a cut course that will then program your cutter. The PDF stays in your shop, so no one can ever see the image. It’s all secure. Then, one day we optimize, find the best cut course out of hundreds to cut this in the least amount of time.
We send that cut course back down, program the cutter and marry it with the PDF, and create an animation, so that your operator has to do no work, no measurements, no cutting, and no programming inside the cutter anymore. They just scan the barcode. Or, if you have the camera option, place the sheet inside the cutter the camera would detect, and find that job, create the cut course and program your cutter. With this scanner, simply scan the job. Oh, wait. Abort. With this scanner, simply scan the job. It will find that job, bring it up for you.
And now, now I just follow along and do whatever it says on the screen. So, I have to align it this way. I rotate it as it says. The animation shows what parts to throw away. It shows what parts to keep. It shows what you’re – When you log out the jobs, it will actually show where to place it on the log out table. And now, the screen has shown here to put these other two logs back in. These two go in together because they have the same cell size, different images but same cell size, and they can be cut together.
The other log had a different pattern and could not be cut with these two. It shows to what order to put them in, and if she puts them in that correct order, then when they’re done and they come off the cutter, we will create a print tag that has a barcode that could go on and back into your MIS system, and it will make sure that everything is correct and everything in the box, your MIS system knows. This here shows you all the cuts that we have programmed, the rotations to do.
You can go to any place in there and go back to the animation of that place, and start from there. So, if you ever had to interrupt a job, take this job off, set aside, break into it, do another job. You could come back to the place where you left off.
Atomyx Launch Event · Specialist · Bernd Zipper
We claim that Bernd Zipper is the number one in Europe, which he denies, but listen to him in this interview, you get a clear idea that his knowledge and experience are beyond most. Mass Customization is not just a word but the necessity of where print is developing. With interesting examples, like his shoes, his shirt, and his jacket, Bernd Zipper talks about mass customization - and if you want to know more, Online Print Symposium is the place: https://online-print-symposium.de/en/
Is the German retailer REWE Greenwashing? · Bernd Zipper · CEO · Zipcon
A few weeks ago, a film was published with a very clear message - use print if you like or don't like it - but don't use the environment as an excuse for your choice. The film has humor but a serious message that all printers and the industry should back - namely, that false statements about print don't do us any good. I invited Bernd Zipper for an interview to talk more about the film, how the supermarket chain REWE most likely only does this to save money, how this can become a generational challenge, and many other interesting topics - important - and a message from Bernd Zipper - the links below are to be shared!

Increased Productivity using CERM and ESKO ·...
Increased productivity is extremely important - and yes, CERM and ESKO play an enormous role with the Sicialian label producer Auroflex. Still, the business is developed around a quality and passion for supporting the Sicilian wine, food, and luxury products industry. But Auroflex does many things that are a bit out of the standard, for example, an annual design competition, where designers are invited to challenge Auroflex - and all the designs are produced to show what's possible - and as Fabio Butera tells INKISH, this develops a close relationship between Auroflex and the designers, that eventually will make some of the most complex and interesting design. Auroflex produces labels in both flexo, digital, and offset. The most important reason for investment in print technology is from Nilpeter - an offset/flexo hybrid machine - by all means, an amazing company, and see how CERM and ESKO are used in planning, pricing, color management, and, of course, inspection - in tightly integrated solutions - merging beauty with efficiency - love it.
