Lyson
Inc.,
Elk Grove Village, Ill., announced
the release of its bulk ink feed
system and bulk ink for Epson’s
popular Stylus Photo R2400 ink
jet printer. According to the
company, unlike most bulk feed
systems that use modified generic
bottles and foam-filled standard
ink cartridges, the Lyson system
for the Epson R2400 uses components
specifically designed for use
in continuous ink supply systems.
The space-saving modular ink reservoirs
can be topped up while printing
and sealed when not in use to
prolong ink life. The proprietary
bulk ink feed cartridges feature
built-in pressure dampers to automatically
regulate ink flow. It also features
filters to protect the print head
and uses no foam rubber. The Lyson
bulk feed system for the Epson
Stylus Photo R2400 comes complete
with a set of eight 4 oz. ink
bottles and a CD containing instructions,
a user guide and free ICC color
user profiles for Lyson inks on
a variety of media. Call (847)
690-1060.
Xinet
Inc., Berkeley, Calif., announced
its time saving Uploader tool
and Xinet WebNative Version 8.
The Uploader is a stand-alone
application that lets vendors
and contractors transmit photography,
artwork and other deliverables
to a client’s Xinet WebNative
or WebNative Venture database
by dragging and dropping files
onto a desktop icon. The Uploader
requires vendors and contractors
to enter metadata details before
uploading files. The WebNative
Venture database then automatically
accepts that metadata and triggers
email notifications and other
actions to streamline the workflow.
WebNative Version 8 now
allows users to review digital
assets and their metadata and
enables users to make web previews
from RAW camera. The new version
also allows designers to keep
track of rounds of approved revisions,
enables art directors to review
work in progress and allows clients
to view multiple versions of artwork
in the context of one document
because of a new versioning tool
that allows the software program
to function with both Illustrator
CS and CS2 workflows. Call (510)
845-0555.
