Esko to host first European i-Cut Production Console showing at Fespa

Esko will hold the first European demonstration of its new i-Cut Production Console at next month’s Fespa exhibition in Cologne.

The i-Cut Production Console, which drives all functionality on Esko Kongsberg tables, will be on display alongside the firm’s i-Cut Suite, a collection of pre-press and pre-production software designed to eliminate errors, save time and reduce waste.

ArtiosCAD and Studio, Esko’s structural design software for 3D design of displays and other structures, will also be on show at Fespa along with the company’s Automation Engine, which manages pre-press workflow automation.

A range of the manufacturer’s smallest and largest Kongsberg tables, including the Kongsberg C and Kongsberg V, will also be demonstrated on the firm’s stand.

The Kongsberg C is a super-wide digital finisher, which incorporates the carbon-compositie traverse beam, which is unique to Esko, to guarantee the highest quality, precision and productivity, according to the company.

The Kongsberg V is suitable for sign and display users looking for accurate and high-quality cutting.

“It goes without saying that the Kongsberg tables are taking the centre stage on Esko’s Fespa stand. In addition to the tables, we will be showing powerful yet flexible software solutions that support all aspects of sign, display and wide-format production,” said Esko vice-president EMEA Armand Gougay.

“At Fespa 2015, we will enlighten visitors about the importance of end-to-end production, since even the most subtle workflow change can have a significant impact on the entire operation.

“We not only address current market requirements but we also deliver solutions that will be a valuable asset for years to come.

“We focus on developing solutions that minimise the need for customers to invest in different digital finishing devices for different applications, making their investments easier to justify and positioning them to enter new markets as opportunities present themselves.”

Esko will be located on stand R50 in Hall 6 at Fespa 2015, which will take place from 18-22 May in Cologne, Germany.
