DAYTON, Ohio (August 2005) Fleet Graphics has announced the installation of three new systems to provide expanded services to advertising agencies and designers, as well as packaging and commercial printers in the Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus markets. "There's a void in this region for commercial printers that need a high-quality digital thermal proof with true half-tone dot screening and spot colors - but this is the answer", says Scott Waggoner, President of Fleet Graphics.

Fleet's new Fujifilm FinalProof GxT digital contract proofer delivers press-exact digital thermal printing proofs, featuring true half-tone dot screening up to 300lpi, pigment CMYK color, an extended color gamut to accurately produce most Pantone colors, including metallics and opaque white. Produced on a crystal clear substrate, FinalProofs can be laminated to vertually any substrate, your actual printing stock, foils, mylars, carton boards, papers and even shrink wrap. It's the perfect system for creating exact proof to press match proofs for the commercial printing market, flexo proofs that include white base and spot colors and packaging mock-ups, comps and samples.

The addition of a new 63" Mimaki JV3 solvent-based wide format ink jet printer is filling the tremendous demand for outdoor signage, producing waterproof, UV resistant banners and signs good for up to three years of continuous use outdoors. Additionally, the Mimaki JV3 system features full template cutting, producing perfect packaging comp materials and dynamic, eye-catching POP graphics, as well as vinyl stickers, labels, vehicle graphics and window coverings. Combining the capabilities of the Mimaki with Fleets existing 60" HP 5500 dye based printer, Epson 9600 Ultrachrome printer and GBC Falcon 60" laminator mounter allow Fleet Graphics to produce a complete selection of photorealistic color wide format products. The vibrant colors and variety of uses has already made the Mimaki a favorite with many customers since its recent introduction.

To better handle their steady increase in business, Fleet has also upgraded the software and hardware in their powerful PDF workflow system, Screens Trueflownet. The Trueflow system is based on the leading Adobe core postscript engine and flawlessly accommodates all the latest enhanced capabilities of the Adobe Creative Suite 2 and it's associated programs. This sophisticated RIP workflow solution can impose, trap and output to a 32"x 44" Dolev 800V film imagesetter, a PlateRite 8000II 8-up thermal platesetter, an Epson 9600 digital proof, a Fuji FinalProof or even a print ready PDF file.
