09/28/07 Seattle, WA – Express Imaging
Systems, LLC (EIS), a leading developer of photofinishing
products, announces the release of eGate, a new xml based
digital fulfillment workflow system. eGate compliments a range
of workflow products from PfDF standard to custom designed,
customer specific, applications previously developed by EIS.
“As photofinishing labs are looking to upgrade their
workflow to incorporate digital fulfillment there is an emphasis
on simplicity and speed. Using xml allows us to create fast
adaptable workflow configurations and integrate nearly any
photofinishing device,” said Jack Hutchinson, Senior
Software Developer for EIS. The eGate system with eControl
developed out of a need to create a lean workflow system compatible
with the Afga d-gate. A high-throughput xml-based batch digital
fulfillment system was the logical next step. “This
isn't just a new revision,” says Jack, “this is
an entirely new, streamlined way of approaching digital workflow.”
At the center of the eGate system is eControl which distributes
work via a single xml system file broadcast. Image Enhancement,
rotation and red-eye reduction are performed by eIPUs. One
eIPU can process 5,000 image per hour and multiple eIPUs can
be installed to match image traffic. eControl dynamically
loads the eIPUs to guarantee quick image processing and can
separate a single batch for processing over multiple eIPUs,
says EIS. Standard and customizable input and output folders
are available, including output to minilabs and email engines.
Output to EIS' own CD Server, for cd creation on a Rimage,
or the Europa high speed digital printer is standard.
EIS has successfully installed Europa printers and workflow
software throughout the US and Europe, including placements
in the US, UK, France, Germany and Spain.
Talk with representatives of EIS and PhotoIntel, EIS's European
distributor, at Sonimagfoto, taking place in Barcelona, Spain,
October 3-7, 2007. The booth will be run by Imaging Tech Iberia,
S.L., Nivel 0, Calle A, Stand 150.
