Case Study: Mark Andy cuts RIP and processing time by 50% with Hybrid Software Helix ScreenPro

Mark Andy cuts processing time by 50% with Hybrid Software Helix

The customer, Mark Andy, a leading manufacturer of narrow- and mid-web printing equipment, faced a challenge with its Digital Series HD hybrid press. The press's extremely high speed meant its existing workflow could not process fully variable data print jobs quickly enough, risking press downtime. To overcome this performance barrier, Mark Andy enlisted the help of vendor Hybrid Software Helix and its Technical Services team.

Hybrid Software Helix developed a customized version of its ScreenPro technology, called ScreenPro Direct, to drive the press. This solution integrated seamlessly with the press's digital front end, enabling the direct streaming of fully variable data. The result was a 50% reduction in processing and RIP times, allowing for continuous high-speed printing at 240 feet per minute with unlimited variable data and no loss in image quality.
