Global Graphics Software annuncia una nuova release di Harlequin Core, il più veloce RIP nel settore della stampa

Harlequin Core™ v14 offre prestazioni imbattibili per moderne etichette ad alta velocità e macchine per la stampa a getto d’inchiostro per imballaggi    

Cambridge, 28 maggio 2024: Global Graphics Software, azienda Hybdrid Software e sviluppatore di componenti smart software per OEM e ISV di stampanti, annuncia l’ultima versione di Harlequin Core™, il RIP (Raster Image Processor) più veloce del settore della stampa. Harlequin Core versione 14 rappresenta un significativo progresso in termini di qualità, prestazioni e funzionalità, ottimizzato specificamente per le moderne etichette digitali ad alta velocità e per le macchine per la stampa di imballaggi ed è completamente allineato con i più recenti standard PDF.

“Harlequin Core v14 rappresenta un passo avanti in termini di efficienza e capacità”, afferma Paul Dormer, Product Manager di Harlequin Core. “Ora vanta le prestazioni più veloci di sempre, con elaborazione dei file fino al 60% più veloce. Inoltre, poiché Harlequin Core è ora a soli 64 bit e ottimizzato per le CPU moderne, gli utenti possono sfruttare appieno l’hardware rilasciato negli ultimi cinque anni.”

La versione 14 introduce una nuova funzione in Harlequin VariData™ che migliora ulteriormente la stampa rapida di PDF a dati variabili. Harlequin Core ora condivide elementi riutilizzabili tra RIP per prestazioni migliorate, garantendo alle configurazioni RIP farm di trarre notevoli vantaggi quando vengono eseguite su hardware multi-core in singole istanze RIP.

Per offrire riproduzione dei colori eccezionale, Global Graphics Software ha collaborato con la società affiliata ColorLogic GmbH. Sfruttando l’esperienza leader a livello mondiale di ColorLogic, Harlequin Core v14 offre ora riproduzione più accurata dei colori del brand per adattarsi agli inchiostri reali, ottenuti con i dati CxF.

Harlequin Core v14 è ora più facile e veloce da utilizzare con un tipico ambiente di sviluppo. QuickStart SDK (Software Development Kit) offre una libreria a cui il codice cliente può collegarsi direttamente, offrendo un’esperienza Visual Studio migliorata. Semplifica la struttura del codice per gli utenti che integrano i propri sistemi di creazione, riducendo i tempi di sviluppo. Inoltre, distribuzioni complesse InstallAnywhere e installatori dipendenti dalla piattaforma sono stati sostituiti con un nuovo metodo di distribuzione utilizzando un semplice file ZIP.

Harlequin Core v14 supporta Mac Silicon, Windows e Linux ed è compatibile con i più recenti standard di stampa, tra cui le specifiche PDF 2.0, PDF/X-6 e PDF VT-3.

Hybrid Software Group accelerates growth in first quarter

  • Revenue: €15.12 million, up 8% compared to last year
  • EBITDA €5.25 million, up 63% over last year
  • Adjusted operating profit €4.21 million, up 123% over last year

Cambridge (UK) 01 May 2024 (18.00 CEST) – Hybrid Software Group PLC (Euronext: HYSG) provides a trading update for the three months ended 31 March 2024.

CEO Mike Rottenborn comments, “Our operating performance for the first quarter demonstrated the beginning of a recovery from the difficult conditions of 2023, with each of our business segments experiencing year-over-year sales growth and consolidated revenues 8.3% higher than the first quarter of 2023.  The cost optimizations completed last year contributed to more than €4 million in adjusted operating profit, up 123% from last year.

The Printing Software segment saw sales of its new Digital Front End, SmartDFE, gain traction and had a major multi-year licensing arrangement renewed for another 5 years, leading to a year-over-growth in revenue of 11% and segment EBITDA of 135%.

Sales in the Printhead Solutions segment grew 14% year-over-year, continuing the recovery which began last year after the component shortages of 2022 and against a backdrop of industrial sectors experiencing cyclical headwinds.

The Enterprise Software segment increased revenues 3% from last year, with strong sales in the largest regions of DACH and North America to power further growth in the future.

Stronger revenues plus continued vigilance on expenses resulted in an EBITDA growth of 62% year-over-year, from 23% of revenue to 35% of revenue.  With the major industry trade show of Drupa coming up soon, we anticipate continued good results for the remainder of 2024.”
