Australia’s LithoTechnics has signed a worldwide distribution agreement for its job planning and imposition software Metrix with American printing technology company Screen. LithoTechnics has also developed a Chinese version of Metrix, which Screen will debut at the upcoming All In Print show in Shanghai.

Under the agreement Screen will sell and support the entire Metrix product line on Mac OS X and Windows platforms, which is expected to compliment Screen’s fully JDF compliant PDF workflow system, Trueflow SE.

As part of the agreement, LithoTechnics and Screen say they have engineered tighter JDF integration between Metrix and Trueflow SE, making the total user experience much more intuitive and powerful.

Setsuo Ohara, president of Screen says, “Screen is dedicated to developing efficient, easy-to-use and open systems. Metrix fits extremely well into our workflow model, offering our customers an automated job planning and imposition module that translates directly into higher productivity and profitability.”

He continues, “Metrix has already proven itself to a number of our customers as an indispensable tool for efficient production. Now, with a higher level of JDF integration between Trueflow SE and Metrix, the connection between planning/imposition and prepress is further simplified and automated.”

Meanwhile, Rohan Holt, president of LithoTechnics says, “We are very excited about a closer relationship with Screen on a worldwide basis, as well as the opportunity to enter the Chinese market.”
