Xitron, the leading independent developer of RIP and workflow products for commercial, digital, and high-speed inkjet printing has begun shipping Navigator RIP and Raster Blaster TIFF catcher kits for Trendsetter CTP units operating through SCSI cards installed in their RIP or Print Console.

Xitron’s breakthrough development of the USB-SCSI interface grants new life to hundreds of computer-to-plate devices being rendered unusable due to outdated and unsupported technology. SCSI cards, which are unavailable or incompatible with current Windows operating systems are obsolete, putting Trendsetter owners’ investment at risk and their prepress production in jeopardy.

This unique Xitron replacement interface (Patent Pending) allows Trendsetter owners to move their systems off of PCs running un-safe operating systems like Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows 2003 Server, giving them secure, continued use of their expensive computer-to-plate systems.
