Nexus: The ultimate pre-press workflow solution

Nexus is a comprehensive workflow management system that automates the pre-press production workflow in commercial printing as well as packaging and labeling environments. Born from the integration of Artwork Systems’ industry-leading vector and raster technologies, Nexus offers optimum performance and a level of functionality unmatched in the industry. It adds flexibility to your process, enhances your control, and boosts your productivity.

Nexus is a fully modular and flexible workflow system, built from three main modules, allowing you to configure your own system tailored to your needs. Nexus easily integrates with the equipment and software currently in operation, even allowing communication with other RIPs or workflow systems since each module has its own supported input and output formats.

The first module, NexusImport, handles the import of PDF 1.3, PostScript 3, TIFF/IT as well as ArtPro native data. NexusProcessor, the second main module, handles all content related modifications like versioning, double burn and automated Step and Repeat. The third module, NexusRIP, actually performs all the necessary processing to calculate proofs as well as the final films or plates, regardless of the brand of proofer, imagesetter or platesetter being used.

Nexus also allows for last minute corrections at any stage in the workflow, whether the document is at the NexusImport, NexusProcessor or NexusRIP stage.

NexusEdit has all the necessary tools to give full editing control over the documents.

Heidelberg NexPress 2100 Business Model
With Inline Processor

Like a traditional litho or sheetfed press, the NexPress 2100 gives Signature Printing direct control over operational costs. New digital capabilities allow us to deliver higher-value, higher margin printing services, such as quick turnaround jobs, on-demand printing and personalized or fully customized pieces with variable data printing.

Today, we have much reason to celebrate. The PRINT show demonstrated beyond a doubt that the NexPress 2100 is the world's leading digital production color press. Three machines performed continuously throughout the eight-day event, dazzlling visitors with their print quality, productivity and the flexibility to produce a wide range of real-life applications -- including a product brochure individualized by each customer, and custom-produced on the spot using our variable-data software.
