TI Introduces 216-kHz Stereo ADCs with Industry-Leading 124-dB Dynamic Range Core24-Bit Devices Provide Low Power Consumption and High Integration for Superior Professional Audio Performance

DALLAS, April 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) today introduced two 24-bit, 216-kHz analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) to complete the company's high-performance audio signal chain for professional digital audio recording and processing applications. The new dual-channel devices combine high integration with the highest dynamic range in the industry of up to 124-dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) while still reducing power consumption by 50 percent compared to competing products. See http://www.ti.com/sc07064.

"At Focusrite, we understand that performance is paramount for our professional audio customers. We strive to maintain high audio quality for our audio preamplifiers from the analog input to the digital output," said Robert Jenkins, director of product strategy of Focusrite Audio Engineering Ltd. "Texas Instruments enables us to exceed our customers' expectations with high-performance devices, such as the PCM4222, that make it easier to develop the products behind the music."

The PCM4220 and PCM4222 integrate an on-chip, linear phase decimation filtering engine that supports both classic and low group delay filter responses, allowing designers to optimize the device for either studio or live sound applications. The PCM4222 enables designers to achieve system flexibility through a 6-bit modulator output that bypasses the digital decimation filter. This option provides versatility to create a digital filter in an FPGA, further customizing the performance for end-product differentiation. Both devices simplify board layout and system partitioning with a time division multiplex function that allows OEMs to daisy chain up to four devices into a single serial port on a DSP or FPGA.

In addition to uncompromising performance and integration, these new devices consume only 305 mW of power at 48 kHz, ultimately easing power supply design and enabling the option to power computer audio interfaces entirely through USB or Firewire bus.

The PCM4222 completes TI's industry-leading professional audio signal chain offering, providing customers with the silicon, software, systems expertise and support to get to market quickly. When combined with the PGA2500 preamplifier and the OPA1632 audio amplifier, the PCM4222 complements the highest-performance input signal chain available. When combined with a 132-dB digital-to-analog converter, such as the PCM1792A, and a low-noise headphone amplifier, such as the TPA6120A2, the fidelity of the signal can be maintained from input to output. For more information see the Audio Solutions Guide at http://www.ti.com/audio.

Availability, Packaging and Pricing

The PCM4222 and PCM4220 are available now in 48-pin TQFP packages. Pricing for the PCM4222 is $14.95 and the PCM4220 is $9.95 each in quantities of 1,000 units.

TI offers analog engineers a wide-ranging support infrastructure that includes training and seminars, design tools and utilities, technical documentation, evaluation modules, an online KnowledgeBase, a product information hotline and a comprehensive offering of samples that ship within 24 hours of request.

As we execute on these opportunities, we will enhance our ability to provide further differentiated value and greater rewards to customers and shareholders."

Rhein added, "Our creation and successful execution of a strategy to redeploy the asset base in support of growing our IT solutions business has resulted in a more profitable business and the creation of significant value for shareholders. From a stock price of $8.93 prior to the announcement of the divestiture of our electronic components distribution business in January 2003 to the closing price of $22.47 prior to today's announcement, the stock price has increased $13.54, or 152%."

New Strategic Direction and Business Outlook

As a solution provider, Agilysys will continue its growth as one of the leading providers of innovative IT solutions to the corporate and public sectors, with special expertise in select vertical markets, including retail and hospitality. The company will continue to operate extensively throughout North America, with additional sales offices in China and the United Kingdom, as a leading provider of:

-- Enterprise storage and server hardware, software and service solutions to corporations and the public sector; -- Retail solutions to the grocery, chain drug, general, specialty and hospitality food service segments of the retail industry; -- Fully integrated solutions designed exclusively for the hotel, casino, resort, and conference center segments of the hospitality industry.

The company will use the proceeds from the sale of KeyLink to fund a planned $100 million self-tender offer and to accelerate growth of the business, both organically and through acquisition. Based on its growth plans, the company has established a number of long-term financial goals:

-- Grow sales from approximately $500 million to $1 billion within two years and to $1.5 billion in three years. Much of this growth will come from acquisitions; -- Target gross margins in excess of 20% and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margins of 6% within three years; -- While in the near term return on invested capital will be diluted due to acquisitions and legacy costs, the company continues to target long- term return on capital of 15%. Self-Tender Offer

As part of the company's financial strategy to increase flexibility and create value for shareholders, the Agilysys board of directors previously authorized the repurchase of up to 6 million common shares in an estimated $100 million self-tender offer, following the close of the sale of the KeyLink Systems Distribution Business. The ultimate number of shares and dollar value of the self-tender offer will be dependent on the share price and market conditions at the time. The company expects to commence the self-tender offer as soon as reasonably practicable.

State of Florida Public Universities Partner With Oracle to Improve Data Reliability and Enhance Data Sharing

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oracle today announced that the State of Florida Public Universities, comprised of 11 universities, have elected to enhance their current investments in Oracle software and services -- including Oracle(R) Database 10g and Oracle Fusion Middleware -- to help increase data reliability and augment data sharing capabilities among institutions.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020718/ORCLLOGO)

Through a five-year consortium agreement brokered for the 11 public universities, but with all of the 39 state universities and community colleges listed on the agreement. Oracle software and services will now support more students, faculty and staff than ever before. In addition, several institutions that currently use Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise applications to improve efficiency and enhance constituent service can take advantage of the latest Oracle software to improve their application performance.

By consolidating the technology purchase across the entire system, the State of Florida Public Universities were able to exercise their buying power as a group to acquire an affordable solution from Oracle. More importantly, the institutions have formed a strategic partnership with Oracle in order to maximize their current and future investments in Oracle products and solutions.

Participating institutions will have access to Oracle beta programs, participate with Oracle in proof of concepts, and together will explore how Oracle products can be used to improve higher education.

"By coming together to work with Oracle, our university system has realized benefits we would not have seen as individual institutions," said Ramon Padilla, Jr., director information resource management, Board of Governors, State University System of Florida. "We view this agreement as a best practice and hope to replicate the model in future technology purchases."

Seven of the 11 state universities have already executed the first consortium purchase, selecting Oracle Database campus license agreements to secure access to campus data and to provide Oracle solutions to more people on campus. The universities chose to expand on their current investments in Oracle Database because they felt it was the most secure, reliable option on the market today.

"By selecting Oracle Database and Oracle Fusion Middleware, the State of Florida Public Universities and Colleges should be able to improve data availability, accuracy and security; streamline system integration; and deliver new applications and services to its various campuses more quickly," said Robert Santimauro, group vice president, North America Strategic Accounts, Oracle.

Eight institutions within the State of Florida Public Universities and Colleges already use Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise applications to manage administrative systems more efficiently and improve service to students, faculty, staff, alumni and the community. All eight of these institutions have implemented PeopleSoft Enterprise Financial Management to streamline financial information and strengthen financial discipline and nearly all of these universities have also implemented PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Capital Management to better manage human resources processes, including payroll and benefits administration. To provide better service to students, some of these eight institutions have also implemented or are implementing PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions.

Atmel Introduces the World's Lowest Power 32-bit Flash MCU With Ethernet and USB On-the-GoAVR32 UC3A Delivers 80 Dhrystone MIPS and Draws Only 40 mA at 66 MHz

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Atmel(R) Corporation announced today the industry's lowest power 32-bit Flash microcontrollers. Based on Atmel's AVR(R)32 UC core, the UC3A Series has 512K bytes Flash and feature an embedded 10/100 Ethernet MAC, a full-speed (12 Mbps) USB 2.0 with on-the-go (OTG) capability and an SRAM/SDRAM external bus interface. The AT32UC3A0512 and AT32UC3A1512, the first devices available, deliver 80 Dhrystone MIPS (DMIPS) at 66 MHz and consume only 40 mA at 3.3V. The power consumption, as low as 1.65 mW/DMIPS, outperforms other architectures with similar features by a ratio of up to 4X. The new MCUs target networking and PC-centric embedded applications and are especially suited for portable devices.

The AVR32 UC core uses a three-stage pipeline Harvard architecture specially designed to optimize instruction fetches from on-chip Flash memory. It is the first core in the industry to integrate single-cycle read/write SRAM with a direct interface to the CPU that bypasses the system bus to achieve faster execution, cycle determinism and lower power consumption. The AVR32 UC core shares the same instruction set architecture (ISA) as its AVR32 AP parent, with over 220 modeless instructions available as 16-bit compact and 32-bit extended instructions. The ISA features atomic bit manipulation to control on-chip peripherals and general purpose IOs and fixed point DSP arithmetic such as single cycle fractional saturated multiply-and-accumulate. An event handling system supports events such as prioritized interrupts, non- maskable interrupt and internal exceptions with a maximum interrupt latency of 16 clock cycles.

The AVR32 UC3A Series incorporates many of the same peripherals as Atmel's ARM(R)-based MCUs including the peripheral DMA controller, multi-layer high speed bus architecture, 10-bit ADC, two SPIs, SSC, two-wire interface (I2C compatible), four UARTs, three general purpose timers, seven pulse width modulators and a full set of supervisory functions.

The 10/100-Mbps IEEE(R) 802.3-compliant Ethernet (MAC) allows designing networked embedded systems that communicate over internet protocol stacks. The USB 2.0 full speed (12Mbps) interface provides a means to communicate with today's PC architecture through various USB classes such as HID for serial data communication or Mass-Storage for larger bulked data transfers. The On-The-Go (OTG) capability of the UC3A USB peripheral gives further integration opportunity in a PC-centric environment with the support of standard USB devices such as USB Flash disk, pointing devices or printers.

The external bus interface (EBI) extends the addressable physical memory to 16M bytes. Its non-multiplexed 16-bit data bus can interface to high density external SRAM, SDRAM, ROM, Flash devices and memory-mapped devices such as LCDs or FPGAs.

UC3A Series MCUs have a six-layer high speed bus matrix that enables bus masters peripherals to concurrently access any bus slave at a maximum speed of 264M bytes per second at 66 MHz. The bus masters are the AVR32 UC core data and instruction interfaces, 15-channel peripheral DMA controller, and several high speed peripherals such as the Ethernet MAC and USB. The bus slaves are the on-chip SRAM and Flash memories, USB, the two peripheral bus bridges, and the external bus interface (EBI).

Development Tools. Atmel provides the GNU gcc C compiler, GNU gdb debugger, FreeRTOS.org real-time kernel and lwIP TCP/IP protocol stack for the UC3A Series family, free of charge. Commercial licenses from IAR(R) (Embedded Workbench), ExpressLogic (ThreadX(R)) and Micrium (uCOS/II) are also available. Atmel's AVR32 Studio and AVR JTAGICE mkII, provide the AVR32 UC with a multiplatform integrated development environment (IDE) already configured for the GNU tool chain, including support for more advanced debugging such as real-time trace. The EVK1100 evaluation kit provides Ethernet and USB interfaces, along with many other serial communications ports such as SPI, TWI and USARTS. A 20x4 character LCD and the expansion connector allow advanced product evaluation and prototyping activities.

Availability and Pricing. The AT32UC3A0512, with EBI, is available in a 144-pin QFP package and the AT32UC3A1512, without EBI, is available in a 100-pin QFP package. Pricing starts at US $8.16 and US $7.43 for 10,000 unit quantities, respectively.

E-LOAN Standardizes on Salesforce.com to Create a Customer Communications HubOnline consumer direct lender relies on trusted on-demand standard to improve operations and customer response times by integrating its loan origination system with salesforce.com

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Salesforce.com , the market and technology leader in on-demand business services, today announced that E-LOAN, an online consumer direct lender, has significantly improved its loan origination operations and achieved improved customer communications by joining 1,200 other financial services companies and standardizing on the leading on-demand CRM applications from Salesforce. Now, E-LOAN can track customers and supply chain data from its loan origination system within their Salesforce applications. E-LOAN has a platform for handling critical customer-facing interactions, so loan consultants have easy access to real-time loan customer communication status, and management has a complete view of its communications pipeline.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050216/SFW105LOGO)

E-LOAN is one of the 29,800 companies of all sizes, industries and geographies that comprised the salesforce.com customer base as of January 31, 2007. Revenue and subscribers will be recognized as the service is delivered.

"Our trained loan consultants serve dozens of customers at a time through numerous methods of communication. We are always looking for better ways to help them manage these interactions so that they can most effectively communicate with our customers and provide them with the high level of care for which E-LOAN has become known," said Jay Shah, chief information officer at E-LOAN. "Salesforce and the Apex platform easily integrated with our existing systems and helped us utilize legacy system data so that our loan consultants have a real-time view of their customer pipelines, can fully utilize all of the individual customer data and are prompted to make the next step to keep our customers apprised of their transaction status."

After integrating the Salesforce solution with its loan origination system, E-LOAN used workflow rules in Salesforce to automatically schedule loan consultant communications tasks based on ongoing updates to loan transaction data. Now loan consultants are prompted by Salesforce to call customers to lock rates, schedule appraisals, and follow up on late documents, among other activities. As a result, less time is wasted between activities and the overall transaction process is significantly shortened.

"Being proactive helps us close deals faster and also ensures our customers are receiving timely and accurate service," added Shah. "We anticipate these improvements will enable us to support a greater number of customers as our business grows, without having to add more resources or sacrifice the quality of our customer communications. We have Salesforce to thank for that."

Revenues in fiscal year 2006 were $13,921,000, up slightly compared with $13,785,000 last year.

Pre-tax income for the year was $793,000, compared to a loss of ($11,000) in 2005. Income in 2006 included a $300,000 insurance recovery, the policy maximum, under the Company's employee dishonesty coverage. This "one-time" component of income was largely offset by non-recurring expenses during the year for investigation of the same employee matter and related remediation of certain of the Company's internal controls. Net income in 2005 included a profit of $134,000 from the sale of non-productive production assets.

Net income in 2006 was $772,000, after an income tax provision of $21,000, and was a net loss of ($11,000) in 2005.

Gross profit margin for the year improved to 32.6% from 27.8% in 2005, and gross profit in dollar terms was up 19%. Income from operations increased to $917,000, up 156% from last year's $358,000.

Both basic and diluted EPS, on net income after accounting for the common stock dividend on preferred stock, were $0.07 and $0.06 in 2006, respectively, compared with a net loss (both basic and diluted) of $(0.02) per share in 2005.

Net cash flow from operating activities was $2,672,000 for the year, compared with $360,000 in 2005. The Company's cash balance at the end of the year was $3,078,000, including a net increase of $336,000 in customer advances, compared with $1,157,000 at the end of 2005.

EBITDA(1) for the year rose to $2,412,000, up from $1,485,000 in 2005 and $303,000 in 2004.

The Company reported revenues for its fourth quarter of $3,677,000, compared with revenues of $3,863,000 in the same period a year ago. Net income for the fourth quarter was $391,000 in 2006, compared with $342,000 in 2005, the Company's sixth successive quarter with positive net income. Basic earnings per share for the fourth quarter were positive at $0.05, while fully diluted earnings per share were $0.04. This compares with basic and diluted income per share of $0.05 and $0.03, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Dan Lehrfeld, President and CEO of PPGI commented, "We finished our best year to date with strongly positive results in our fourth quarter. Revenues for the year were up a bit to a new record, and our gross and net margins were up significantly. Our customers are our first priority, but continual improvement of productivity and efficiency in operations has been our second point of focus. We have been profitable for the past six fiscal quarters, and 2006 marked our return to profitability for the year as a whole. EBITDA(1) reached 17% of sales, also a new record. Our order intake for the year was $13.3 million and it lagged 2005's record levels by 13% on weak fourth quarter bookings. But it was our second highest annual order intake ever, as was our ending backlog of $7.0 million. Quarterly ups and downs are typical, especially in our largest market sector, defense/aerospace. Cash flow from operations was strongly positive, and also a record. We ended the year with a large cash position and have been steadily paying-off the high interest debt components on our balance sheet. We also deployed nearly a million dollars into internal capital investments. The Company dealt rapidly and thoroughly with the internal control issue surrounding the misappropriation of funds matter we uncovered and reported on early in 2006. No financial restatements were necessary, and I am pleased to report our internal controls have been restored."

Mr. Lehrfeld added, "In optical terms, we narrowed our field of view and sharpened our focus in 2006. Specifically, we concentrated on current operations and targeted a firmly profitable year, increased margins, and increased cash flow, while pursuing further revenue growth through organic means alone. I look forward in 2007 to our again delivering positive financial results, and continued growth."

New Functionality in Oracle(R) E-Business Suite Release 12 Targets Process ManufacturersIntroduction of Manufacturing Execution System Enables Companies to Gain Better Operational Control and Achieve Regulatory Compliance

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oracle today announced the availability of broad new capabilities for processes manufacturers within Oracle(R) E-Business Suite Release 12, including a new Manufacturing Execution System (MES) designed to give customers better control and lower operating costs. This latest release delivers new capabilities, allowing organizations to simplify compliance processes, increase performance for lean, global operations, develop and execute enterprise-wide plans and improve product innovation.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020718/ORCLLOGO )

"With this release, Oracle relied heavily on our customer insight to capture industry specific functionality. Many new features were added to deepen the functionality in process industries including food and beverage, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and biotech, metals and natural resources," said Oracle Vice President, Process Manufacturing Industries Doug Souza. "Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 offers many, new process-industry capabilities enabling our manufacturing customers to lower operating costs, increase efficiencies and effectively compete in today's global economy."

Streamline Compliance, Increase Competitiveness

Faced with increased competition and changing markets, process manufacturers are under continuous pressure to efficiently deliver high quality products, maintain margins and achieve regulatory compliance. Oracle(R) E-Business Suite Release 12 introduces a new application, Oracle Manufacturing Execution System for Process Manufacturing, which is completely integrated with Oracle Process Manufacturing. Customers can become more efficient, implement better controls and meet compliance regulations by linking standard operating procedures and shop floor execution. With Oracle Manufacturing Execution System for Process Manufacturing, these benefits are available without having to purchase a third-party MES system requiring expensive integration. Customers can also improve product quality and compliance with workflow-driven sampling notifications and critical manufacturing deviations tracking.

Better Manage Global Operations

Process manufacturers need a completely integrated, global view of customers, suppliers and operations to make accurate, timely decisions. Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 introduces a unified data model that allows access to the full range of Oracle manufacturing applications. This gives both process and discrete manufacturing companies an enterprise-wide view, enabling decision-makers to quickly respond to changes in production, supply and customer demand. Oracle Enterprise Asset Management for Process enables process companies to maximize efficiency and availability of assets by utilizing integrated production and maintenance planning, purchasing and project management functionality.

Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 also includes new enhancements to Oracle Warehouse Management allowing process companies to better manage lots and specification-based inventory. Companies can easily match customer requirements to specific inventory, and efficiently track, pick and ship attribute-based lots.

Execute Holistic Planning and Logistic Strategies

Process manufacturers are challenged with supply chain complexities including shelf life limitations, product customizations and regulatory surveillance. This latest release delivers new, industry-specific enhancements to Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning, including sequence-dependent setups, shelf life and support for complex process routings to help customers overcome these challenges and optimize production and logistics.

A new distribution planning capability in Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning includes support for fair share allocation, multiple inventory policies, circular sourcing, global forecasting with local allocation of supply and ship method selection. Customers can use out-of-the-box integration between Oracle Process Manufacturing and Oracle Production Scheduling to pre-empt supply chain disruptions and maximize shop floor efficiency and throughput while minimizing cost. Other enhancements include process-specific features such as support for vessel filling and emptying, and processing time.

Improve Product Innovation and Differentiation

With Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12, process manufacturers benefit from a new, Least Cost Formulation module that optimizes material usage and cost. This capability generates a formulation from a list of alternative ingredients based on a true optimization of cost and other technical or quality parameters. The Least Cost Formulation capability finds the best ingredients based on the attributes of the available materials and the constraints defined by the customer.

Process manufacturers are also equipped to speed product innovation with Oracle Product Lifecycle Management, relying on features such as Idea Management, New Item Introduction Workflow and Lifecycle Management. Additionally, Oracle Product Information Management Data Hub allows process manufacturing companies to eliminate product data fragmentation while tracking customer requirements.

General Availability

The new process manufacturing capabilities within the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 are currently available. Terms, conditions and restrictions apply.

Oce Business Services Launches New York City Litigation Support Processing FacilityFast, Flexible Local Gateway Brings Legal Discovery Capabilities Closer to New York City and Northeast Clients

NEW YORK, April 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oce Business Services, Inc. today announced that it has opened a new litigation support processing facility in Manhattan. The new satellite facility enables the company's CaseData eDiscovery and litigation support division to bring its capabilities closer to law firm and corporate clients located in the northeast.

The new facility will provide a range of litigation support services such as high-capacity document imaging, blowback and production; electronic discovery including consultation, data collection and 24X7 data processing; and support for the full spectrum of CaseData products and services. The facility combines the speed and flexibility of a local operation with the power and technical expertise of the company's main processing facilities in Utah and the Philippines. Because their technology infrastructures are connected, project workflow demands can be shifted between the facilities.

The facility's local operations management team has over 50 years of combined industry experience. A seasoned project manager will closely oversee every project, applying disciplined quality control methods that are based on ISO methodologies.

"We are bringing our nationally-recognized litigation support processing capabilities closer to our clients in New York and the northeast region," said Doug Bean, Vice President and General Manager, Oce Business Services CaseData Division. "Our expanded presence, with our comprehensive solution for electronic and paper-based discovery, will better help our clients effectively respond to requests for discovery."

Discovery is the process that attorneys use to obtain evidence from an organization or individuals in response to legal, administrative or regulatory action. Organizations face increasingly onerous demands for the production of paper and electronically stored information (ESI) for legal and regulatory matters. Bean adds that over 90 percent of business documents today are created and stored electronically, and 60 to 70 percent of corporate data resides in or is attached to emails. Enterprises need to be prepared to retrieve and analyze terabytes of data on request, across an increasingly vast terrain including email, instant messages, handhelds, laptops, and voicemail. Since the potential costs are in the millions of dollars, Bean points out that being proactively prepared can help businesses effectively minimize disruption, costs, and risk.

CaseData has handled thousands of engagements for litigation and M&A matters across the U.S. in document-intensive, litigious sectors including insurance, financial services, energy, and pharmaceuticals. CaseData also was ranked among the top five eDiscovery service providers in the categories of experience, capacity, eDiscovery review, and eDiscovery analysis by leading industry source, the 2006 Socha-Gelbmann Report.

NUR Macroprinters Quadruples Speed and Ink Coverage With the New NUR Expedio(TM) 5000 Revolution Wide-Format Printer

LOD, Israel, April 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NUR Macroprinters (NURMF.PK), a leading supplier of wide-format inkjet production printers for the printing industry, has revealed its latest addition to its wide-format printing solutions - the NUR Expedio(TM) 5000 Revolution. This new and innovative UV-inkjet printer has a production speed and ink coverage of up to 4 times that of most solvent-based printers.

"With this new wide format printer, we believe we will revolutionize the billboard printing industry" said David Reis, President and CEO, NUR Macroprinters. "Our goal is to make it more profitable to use UV technology for billboards, as we increase productivity, ink coverage and media flexibility" added Mr. Reis.

The NUR Expedio 5000 Revolution, a high-volume, super wide-format UV-inkjet printer

The NUR Expedio 5000 Revolution UV-inkjet wide-format production printer delivers an unmatched production speed of 3,200 sq.ft (300 sq.m) /hr that is 4 times that of most solvent-based printers. In addition, the NUR Expedio 5000 Revolution produces 4 times the ink coverage (**) of most solvent ink printers making it even more cost effective to print with UV inks.

The NUR Expedio 5000 Revolution has two operation modes:

- In the Billboard mode, the NUR Expedio 5000 Revolution operates at twice the speed (3,200 sq.ft/h) of the regular NUR Expedio 5000 and produces approximately twice the ink coverage (1,950 sq.ft/Liter(**)).

- In the POP mode the printer rounds out the capabilities of the NUR Revolution by optimizing the printing for wide-format Point of Purchase (POP) applications.

In any mode, this super-wide printer offers the same high performance and print quality found in the NUR Expedio family. Virtually all wide-format substrates are supported, such as uncoated PVC, synthetic paper, Polyethylene and mesh. The NUR Expedio 5000 Revolution can accommodate multiple rolls simultaneously for maximized production capacity. The extensive color gamut supported by this 4-color printer upholds the high image quality of the Expedio(TM). Other standard features include an on-core collector and an optional double-sided printing mechanism for Backlit- and Blockout applications.

The ground-breaking combination of features results in a super high production volume, a competitive ink/sq.m feet UV ink cost and an "all-in-one" configuration for printing both Billboard and POP applications.

(**)Using NUR standard file/profile, on PVC, based on a test held at NUR in March 2007
