ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- Xitron, a subsidiary of Hybrid Software and the developer of Harlequin-based Navigator RIP and workflow products, announced several successful installations of its new K2 prepress workflow solution over the past few weeks. The implementations, spanning North America and Europe, have resulted in the replacement of older systems such as Fujifilm XMF, Rampage, Sierra, and Kodak Prinergy.

Customers cited several motivations for transitioning to K2, including the desire to run on current operating systems, improve production efficiency, and avoid the increasing trend toward software subscription models. With aging workflows reaching end-of-life across the industry, K2 presents a modern, cost-effective alternative without the burden of ongoing subscriptions.

"Our demonstration schedule has stayed quite full since we began shipping in April," said Karen Crews, President of Xitron. "In almost all instances, customers mentioned the perpetual license as an important consideration. Subscriptions obviously aren't attractive to all customers."

K2 was developed as a complete workflow package for commercial offset printers and includes enhancements and modules tailored for hybrid shops running digital devices. Its browser-based Job Submission Module allows seamless access across all departments, making it ideal for printers with varied job types and output devices.

"The initial feedback on K2's GUI and process control are very favorable," Crews added. "Operators are able to quickly grasp the architecture, which is reflected in the short learning curve we're seeing during installation and training. This is a testament to the product management team, who all have prepress production backgrounds."

Xitron performs up to eight K2 installations per month across North America, while certified dealers in the US, Europe, and Latin America are fully authorized to perform installations independently. To find a dealer near you, visit https://www.xitron.com/find-dealer.
