This is
the easiest way to mass
produce quality
prints in todayÕs market |
|
The Europa Printer
is the latest innovation in
high speed digital printing. With a throughput of 10,000 prints per hour, and
upgradeable to 20,000 per hour, your lab can excel in productivity and quality
without extreme risks to your budget. This is the easiest way to mass produce
quality prints in today's market.
á
Solid state
light sources – High Flux LED based, highly integrated construction.
Currently adapted to high speed scanning and printing
á
Image
correction (color, contrast, sharpness, etc) for unparalleled digital print
quality.
á
High
reliability/high speed paper and film transport mechanisms – Used in
hundreds of notcher, scanner, printer and cutter systems for reliable material
movement. High speed paper cutting and sorting – very important as the
mass customization of the digital world becomes a reality.

for emerging mobile imaging printing)
á
LED arrays
assure uniform exposure
á Optimum color purity to match the photo response of color
Lowering the
Cost of Ownership
To achieve lower operating costs, we engineered the exposure engine based on breakthrough image technology using no moving parts and the most reliable light-source commercially available: LED's.

Express Film Scanner
|
|
á
No other
scanner gives the value of an ExpressScanª. The ExpressScanª ES4B is a
time-tested workhorse. Perhaps, you have a few in your lab already, or
perhaps, you need a product to integrate film into your already entirely
digital lab. |
Express Scanner Upgrade Kit
|
|
á
Upgrade
your existing ES4B units into the ES8B. Why start from scratch? By design the
ExpressScan was developed to keep paybacks at an accelerated rate by helping
you maximize what you already have in place. Get the latest software, the
latest generation light source, and true 12 bit image capture in a swappable
panel and go from 5,000 frames per hour to 12,000 frames per hour. |
Workflow Solutions
Understanding workflow and being able to tailor-make a process that suits the unique environment of a central photo lab is key. Express Imaging Systems has developed a suite of workflow tools that target every area from image enhancement to image storage. Key players such as the eGate Image Data Serverª, Review Station, Express Central PfDF Server and CD Server (listed below) are supported by custom designed Import and Export Drivers and the Express PfDF client. Express Image Server provides storage for in-process orders and support fast transfer rate protocols, while Index Print Formatter is another powerful output option that creates index prints during batch processing.
|
|
eGate Image Data Serverª Feed your
workflow from multiple channels, one for each image source, and automatically
apply image enhancement at the same time. The PfDF compatible eGate reduces
red-eye, performs image sizing and helps build a solid foundation for your
workflow architecture. eGate leverages a linear increase in throughput times
starting at 5,000 images per hour, per server. |
|
|
Review Station Maintain
constant Quality Control with the Review Station. Review images, flip and
delete in one easy to use window. Automatically or manually write batch work
records. PfDF compatible, the Review Station can also be used to assign and
select multiple product outputs. |
|
|
Express Central PfDF Server Stay in control with the Express Central PfDF centralized order data database. Unify your workflow and maximize productivity as each device in your lab reports and retrieves valuable order information. á Express Image Server: Augment the Central PfDF Server with the Express Image Server storage array for in-process orders. |
|
|
CD Server CD Sever is an
output module that supports the creation of multiple CD product designs on up
to five Rimage CD duplicators. Include logos and barcodes and bundle
advertising content with your image orders. |
Express System Solutions
In today's
digital market, photo finishers must start at the beginning to achieve quality
digital prints and products. The Express System's easy to use digital
fulfillment solution focuses on core combinations of software and hardware.
