Xitron Launches Navigator Northstar

Xitron, an Ann Arbor, Michigan, developer of RIP and workflow products, has released Navigator Northstar (sold through its worldwide dealer network) aimed at inkjet systems using Memjet Northstar print heads.

Navigator Northstar, according to Xitron, improves the colour accuracy of Astrojet M1/M2 printers as well as the Colordyne 1600 (C & S), RTI-Digital Vortex 850/851, Trojan One, and Formax Colormax (among others), all of which use the Memjet Northstar inkjet head.

“Digital printing doesn’t have to equate to a lack of colour control,” said Jeffrey Piestrak, Product Manager, Xitron. “The colour adjustment tools built into this workflow make it extremely easy to match a job’s spot colours without impacting the rest of the document.”

Designed for the desktop envelope, flyer, and label market, Navigator Northstar includes Navigator RIP version 10.1r2, Navigator Color Matching Workflow, and the Northstar connectivity plug-in developed by Xitron. The system is multi-platform compatible. Piestrak added, “By combining the power of the Navigator Harlequin RIP with Xitron’s colour transform technology, what you see is what you print, consistently.”
