Ultimate TechnoGraphics, leader in imposition and finishing automation solutions, and Duplo International, leading provider of innovative print finishing solutions, are proud to announce the expansion of their successful partnership to deliver a completely automated finishing system for the B2 digital printing market. Ultimate Impostrip® is the new standard in imposition automation, helping print service providers worldwide with future proofing and automating their print production, including integration of finishing and embellishment workflows.

Ultimate Impostrip® streamlines the print processes from prepress to postpress through dynamic barcodes and registration marks for Duplo’s finishing devices for automated setups and data transfer, while also enabling color separations for CMYK and spot colors, and intelligent files routing to Duplo’s new B2 embellishment finishing and cutting devices.

“The B2 digital print market is growing, and print providers are looking into smart solutions to easily transform these large sheets of paper into finished products, while having the flexibility to increase the value of each print by adding foil stamping, varnishing and other embellishment techniques”, says Andrew-Bailes Collins, Head of product management at Ultimate TechnoGraphics Inc. “We are happy to expand our partnership with Duplo International to include their new B2 finishing devices and continue delivering out-of-the-box workflow solutions to achieve end-to-end automation for higher productivity and profitability.”

“Our expertise is in operational efficiency and reducing the number of touchpoints that a printer will have with a printed piece, reducing bottlenecks and speeding up production - We've taken this skill and brought it to the B2 finishing market. The end-to-end automation that Ultimate Impostrip delivers enables automation and precision to every single stage, including your finishing. Overall, it is helping PSPs (Print Service Providers) to reduce errors, waste, improve quality and even open new revenue streams.” – Andy Cuff Duplo International.
