Xitron Begins Release and Rollout of K2 Prepress Workflow – PR.com

Ann
Arbor,
NY,
February
06,
2025
–(PR.com)– Xitron,
a
subsidiary
of
Hybrid
Software
and
the
developer
of
Harlequin-based
Navigator
RIP
and
workflow
products
for
commercial,
flexo,
screen,
digital,
and
high-speed
inkjet
printing
is
releasing
their
new
K2
commercial
offset
workflow
for
end-user
purchases.
The
rollout
comes
on
the
heels
of
successful
dealer
certification
classes
recently
completed
in
the
US.
European
and
Latin
American
dealer
training
is
scheduled
for
the
weeks
of
February
10th
and
March
3rd,
respectively.
Additional
classes
will
be
scheduled
in
the
second
quarter
in
order
to
bring
more
dealers
around
the
world
on
board.

K2
was
developed
specifically
to
replace
aging
prepress
workflows
whose
owners
are
experiencing
high
maintenance
costs,
end-of-life
notification,
lack
of
feature
development,
or
forced
subscription
conversion.
Deployed
with
a
perpetual
license,
K2
is
a
bundled
solution
that
provides
all
the
tools
modern
commercial
printers
need
at
a
very
economical
price.
It
also
includes
functionality
for
hybrid
shops
where
offset
and
digital
printing
are
produced
in
tandem.

“Our
first
certification
class
here
in
Ann
Arbor
went
incredibly
well,”
said
Eric
Nelsen,
Xitron’s
Vice
President
of
Software
Development.
“Initial
participant
comments
included,
‘powerful,’
‘affordable,’
and
‘easy
to
learn
and
use,’
all
of
which
were
stated
goals
of
the
development
team.
Having
dealers
validate
our
work
so
quickly
is
a
testament
to
our
engineers
and
testing
group,”
he
added.

Expectations
for
the
first
European
dealer
certification
at
Hybrid
Software’s
offices
in
Ghent,
Belgium
are
equally
high.
“This
class
went
to
capacity
within
a
week
of
dealer
notification,”
said
Nelsen.
“We’ll
be
hosting
attendees
from
Belgium,
France,
Germany,
Italy,
Spain,
Turkey,
and
Bulgaria,
representing
the
most
highly
qualified
dealer
organizations
from
those
regions.”
Once
these
teams
are
certified,
they
will
be
cleared
to
start
selling,
installing,
and
supporting
K2
throughout
the
EU.

Details
for
Latin
American
dealer
training
–
and
the
subsequent
release
of
K2
there
–
will
be
finalized
by
February
6th
and
interested
dealers
will
be
able
to
reserve
space
at
that
time.
