Xitron – Navigator Northstar – RIP and workflow for Memjet Desktop label printers

RIP and workflow for inkjet printers using Memjet Northstar print heads

Xitron, the leading independent developer of RIP and workflow products for commercial, digital, and high-speed inkjet printing has released Navigator Northstar for sale through their extensive worldwide dealer network. Navigator Northstar improves the color accuracy of Astrojet M1/M2 printers as well as the Colordyne 1600 (C & S), RTI-Digital Vortex 850/851, Trojan One, and Formax Colormax (among others), all of which use the Memjet Northstar inkjet head.

Navigator workflow

Xitron has released a version of its Navigator workflow for use with those printers fitted with the Memjet Northstar inkjet head. Navigator Northstar is said to improve the colour accuracy of devices such as the Astrojet M1/M2 printers as well as the Colordyne 1600, RTI-Digital Vortex 850/851, Trojan One, and Formax Colormax, which mainly cover the desktop envelope, flyer, and label market.

Xitron claims that users have reported difficulty in achieving consistent colour with these devices. Jeffrey Piestrak, Xitron’s product manager, commented: “The colour adjustment tools built into this workflow make it extremely easy to match a job’s spot colours without impacting the rest of the document.”

Navigator Northstar includes Navigator RIP version 10.1r2, Navigator Color Matching Workflow, and the Northstar connectivity plug-in developed by Xitron. The system is multi-platform compatible and accessible from anywhere on a user’s network.
