For immediate release
CASIO CHOOSES HARLEQUIN FOR
NEW OPTIONAL UNIT FOR OFFICE COLOR PRINTER
CAMBRIDGE, UK, 18 January 2016:- Global
Graphics' Harlequin Embedded RIP has been chosen by Casio Computer
Co., Ltd "Casio" to enhance their Japanese office color printer
SPEEDIA GE6000 by adding native PostScript® and PDF
support into its new optional unit. Casio is a global company
that develops and sells consumer electronics products such as
calculators, watches, digital cameras, electronic instruments and
system devices such as page printers, and handheld terminals all
based on Casio core digital technology. Global Graphics is the
developer of the Harlequin® RIP engine
that provides high-performance rendering of page description
languages for a wide range of printing devices from single function
office printers to the latest generation of high-volume inkjet
devices.
Casio plans to enhance the SPEEDIA GE6000, which
can print at 38PPM in full color, to meet various market needs by
supporting generic PDLs. To do so, Casio decided to implement
Harlequin Embedded RIP into GE6000-PSS-FUL (Enhancing PS Full-set)
which will be Casio's new option for SPEEDIA GE6000. Casio chose to
license Global Graphics' color management software, Harlequin
ColorPro(TM), together with roman fonts and roman font emulation.
Using the Harlequin Embedded RIP, Casio could add native
processing of PostScript® data with
full PostScript® compatibility
and PC-less direct print feature for PDF files.
Yuichi Tezuka, Senior General Manager of System
Marketing & Sales Division, of Casio says, "I am very pleased
Casio could release new product that incorporates Harlequin
Embedded RIP as an enhancement option for Casio color page printer
SPEEIDA GE6000. Casio has been considering launching a new printer
that supports generic PDL formats to increase product value.
Throughout our evaluation of multiple RIPs from multiple suppliers,
Casio recognized that the Harlequin RIP is superior to other
competitor's RIPs concerning for appropriate price, technology
level, performance, features, market results, and technical support
so Casio decided to adopt Harlequin RIP. Casio is very satisfied
that we could port the Harlequin RIP into the Casio print
controller in a very short period of time", he continues,
"with quick and appropriate Global Graphics technical support
without changing hardware architecture at all." I am hoping that
Casio will be able to release future outstanding products by
enhancing partnership with Global Graphics."
Yoshiyuki Hagiwara, the Representative Director of
Global Graphics K.K. said, "I am very honored that Global Graphics
Harlequin Embedded RIP has been chosen by Casio via very strict
comparison of multiple RIPs from multiple competitors to add
PostScript® and PDF
handling feature to SPEEDIA GE6000. We have worked very hard
to improve Harlequin Embedded RIP performance by assigning Global
Graphics RIP core engineers during the last few years.
As a result of this project our RIP performance has improved a lot
on resource limited environment than former versions of the
RIP. I expect our printing and e-document technologies will
be used in wide range of Casio products by enhancing our
partnership."
The embedded version of the Harlequin RIP is
ported onto the embedded controller inside printing devices. Its
architecture gives manufacturer's flexibility and reduces their
development costs and time to market. Manufacturers can
license one or any combination of page description languages - PCL
5C, PCL 5e, PCL 6, PS®, PDF and XPS
- add their own or a third party's color management or screening,
have a wide choice of font options, and achieve high-performance
even with low resource usage. It supports a wide range of
SoCs and development environments.
