Printing Solutions

Global Graphics’ technology is renowned for its high performance, robustness and reliability. It is highly customizable so that our customers can build in competitive differentiation for a wide variety of solutions.

Global Graphics’ new range of cross-platform, driver-based, embedded and server-based printing solutions give you scalable implementation options for low-end desktop units through high-end print servers, based on a common architecture. These solutions support the native processing of multiple PDLs for faster performance and more accurate file rendition. And, you have access to a broad range of components to add value to your solution, including screening, imposition, font interpretation and rendering, and color management.

For electronic document applications Global Graphics’ next generation highly configurable and extensible libraries provide powerful multiple PDL conversion and manipulation for application developers both in the print and corporate markets. They use the same kernel as Global Graphics’ printing technology.

Raster devices

Shorten development cycles and accelerate your time to market by creating your custom Printer Driver or other host-based application using the Harlequin® PLUS Host Renderer SDK. Our technology can be configured to support a wide range of raster-driven devices and is extremely flexible, allowing you to add your own technology at all stages of the rasterization process.

Embedded devices

Configurable support for multiple PDL formats, a compact and efficient software kernel, and sophisticated graphics and color handling routines, ensure our Harlequin® PLUS Embedded SDK delivers the ideal software solution for embedded controllers suited for a vast array of devices including both monochrome and color printers and Multi Function Peripherals (MFPs).

For digital print devices with on-board PDL support, but restricted in-device resources, a Scalable Consumption solution can be used as a means of controlling the flow of data to the device to facilitate efficient printing.

High-end print server/digital front end

For high-volume production environments and print-for pay applications, our JDF-enabled Harlequin PLUS Server RIP (v8.0) has the power and performance to drive MFPs and digital presses at full speed. Many processes are handled in the RIP - trapping, simple imposition, font emulation, color management - and a user-friendly interface puts all the power of this technology at the operator's fingertips.

One source for PDL solutions, one scalable architecture for all products, one technology to support … there’s only one answer: Global Graphics!
