FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CreoScitex and Quark Streamline Packaging Workflow
DENVER and VANCOUVER, B.C. (September 20, 2000) - CreoScitex, a division of Creo
Products Inc. (NASDAQ: CREO; TSE: CRE), and Quark Inc. today announced plans to
demonstrate QuarkWrapture(tm) software as part of the Brisque(tm) Extreme Pack
workflow at Graph Expo, September 24-27, at McCormick Place Convention Center
in Chicago.
QuarkWrapture is a unique 3-D tool for consumer product, graphic design, and
packaging professionals. QuarkWrapture fuses a graphic design to a CAD
structure, creating a virtual package in a single file. Managers, designers,
and clients can electronically view and verify this single file mock-up,
reducing time and costs throughout the design approval process.
Brisque Extreme Pack - based on Brisque Extreme Impose, the industry's leading
digital front end - dramatically improves the efficiency of PostScript(r)-based
packaging workflows. Brisque Extreme Pack provides automation, color handling,
trapping, and editing tools that meet the stringent requirements of the
packaging industry. The Brisque Extreme Pack RIP-Once workflow leads to
substantial savings in space and RIPing time, and fully incorporates the
efficiencies of the RIP-Once, Output Many concept into the packaging prepress
industry.
CreoScitex is demonstrating Brisque Extreme Pack with QuarkWrapture at Graph
Expo Booth #107.
