Alwan Print Standardizer scoops industry accolade at Print 09 Lyon, October 2009. Alwan Print Standardizer has landed the coveted ‘Worth-a-look’ award at Print 09, one of the print industry’s leading exhibitions. Only 60 products from a total of 4,000 entries landed this prestigious prize – and Alwan Print Standardizer was the only award-winning solution dedicated to standardizing conventional presses.  Showcased on Alwan’s partners’ booths, Print Standardizer attracted a lot of attention from visitors, who were impressed by its unique features. The solution, which now works with all X-Rite’s auto-scanning instruments, generated a lot of excitement on X-Rite’s booth. Dave Hunter, Alwan’s representative and leading G7® expert, ran non-stop demos on the stand for a large number of attendees.According to Dave Hunter, Print Standardizer is destined to be a big success in the US: “The American graphics industry is bearing the brunt of the crisis and is looking for reliable and cost-effective solutions that will enhance their production, and come with a proven and short ROI. This is exactly what Print Standardizer delivers.” Alwan’s solutions are the most effective way for printers to achieve compliancy with international standards. The software is very easy to implement, and the prints it produces are compliant with standards. ROI ranges from a couple of weeks to few months, depending on the size of the company and is guaranteed by Alwan to be less than six months with Alwan’s Money Back Guarantee program. Alwan’s solutions provide a wide range of benefits, such as improving efficiency, boosting productivity and increasing profitability. Plus many companies that have implemented Print Standardizer have subsequently achieved PSO/ISO12647 certification, which affords them international recognition.
